Triple H comments on wrestlers that become “complacent” after joining the WWE main roster from NXT

During an interview with The High Performance podcast, Paul “Triple H” Levesque commented on wrestlers needing passion and drive to be successful in WWE…

“I see people all the time that want more but aren’t doing anything different to get more… I can’t tell you how many talent I see come through our developmental system in phenomenal shape, work ethic, they look great, their stamina, they never blow up in the ring, everything’s spot on. They do everything right. They get brought up to Raw or SmackDown, they start on a journey, and six months in, I’m like, ‘This guy, you can barely tell he’s the same guy he was six months ago.’

Like, they get out of shape, they stop training so hard. Some of that’s a learning curve of doing it on the road versus doing it at the Performance Center and all those things, but like… becoming complacent. When I say like passion or drive, complacency is the opposite of that. You’re complacent is because your passion is waning. Sometimes you have to remind yourself of what your passion is to do this.” (quote courtesy of WrestleTalk.com)
