Triple H reveals what Vince McMahon’s “strong suit” was when it came to the creative process in WWE

While speaking to BT and Sal of WFAN, Paul “Triple H” Levesque was asked about how much creative input talent have been given in WWE over the years…

“If you’re talking about the Vince Sr days, there was a lot less overall storytelling, right? It was a lot more matches and promotion to get to those matches. I think talent had input on what they did creatively in-ring, where the end result was up to the promotion and up to Vince Sr. Vince Jr, it went all over the place. From his idea to do it this way to the right talent having a lot of creative input. I like to work directly with talent. Vince did as well, don’t get me wrong, that was his strong suit. I worked with him for many years, it’s how we created a creative partnership.

I love to work with talent, I love to hear their point of view. They know their characters. Let’s get all those points of view together and then determine the best route for it. As long as everybody is open to, ‘Hey, we want to do this but that might not be the best idea on the table.’ Somebody might have something better. I don’t care whose idea it is or where it comes from, let’s take it and run with it. If we can make fans happy or make them intrigued or sometimes make them mad at what we’re doing, that’s what it’s all about. Silence is the enemy, loud reactions is where we’re at. It doesn’t matter where the idea comes from, we’ll run with it.” (quote courtesy of Skylar Russell)
