The Real Story Behind the Regality: Former WWE Star Exposes the Truth About Triple H's Ruthless Reputation (Image Credit - X)
WWE Hall of Famer Triple H has become a major figure behind the scenes as WWE’s Chief Content Officer. His contribution in the locker room has been a debate among the fans and wrestlers. Accounts of The Game create a complicated portrait of his backstage and in the ring character.
Other wrestlers who shared the ring with Paul Levesque also experienced different encounters particularly when he was at an upward trend following his capture of the WWE championship in 1999. Although Triple H was critical in the development of WWE, some co-workers have reported polarizing experiences with the wrestler both in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras, not only in his influence but also in his intimidation.
Maven is a former WWE Tough Enough champion and he was very vocal through his YouTube channel. Talking about WWE Unreal, he revealed about the image of Triple H in the mind of talent during his rule. “No one trusted you, Hunter. Not a damn, Shawn [Michaels] trusted you, right? There’s your list,” Maven remarked bluntly.
Maven remembered that locker room at the WWE was very tough to crack. “You’re in a WWE locker room, and when you’re walking down from catering, and you see Hunter, Vince, and Shawn. You see all these guys that you watched on TV, and you see all these guys that you’ve idolized for years, and all of a sudden, you’re not only in the same locker room as them, but hell, I’m on the show with them tonight.”
According to him, many wrestlers had to be careful of what they did. The fear of offending the wrong individual influenced a lot of the backstage culture. Talent, said Maven, was generally the good little subordinate wrestler, who hoped to get an opportunity to make something of himself without rocking the boat.
Maven praised CM Punk on bursting that culture when he detonated in 2011. “‘Well, I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes. I’m going to be the good little subordinate wrestler and do what I’m told. Hopefully, if I cross my fingers and I do what’s right, then my time will come.’ That’s how 99.9 percent of the locker room views it. Punk said that was bullsh*t, and I’m gonna be as much of a star as you are without your effing help. By God, he went out and did it.”
Punk was a revolutionary to a top-down world and this is a theme where the tension between the concept of loyalty and ambition in the nature of competition in WWE is brought out. His rags to riches story is a complete contrast to the conservative nature in which most talent pursued.
Maven, who wrestled in WWE in 2001 to 2005, was even given a chance to challenge Triple H and become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion but in vain in 2004. Reflectively, he creates a vivid picture of the pressure and the euphoria of being one of the elites in WWE.
The anecdotes of the ex-talent expose a different face of Triple H, which is not limited to his image. However, his villainous locker room status remains part of wrestling history despite the undeniable contributions that he made in WWE.
