Triple H shared his thoughts on fan reactions and the creative process in wrestling, particularly how people on the internet often call for sudden changes in direction. He acknowledged the importance of listening to the audience and adjusting when necessary, saying, “You listen to them, you adjust accordingly, you try to think where they will go emotionally, but at the end of the day, we work them. This is, to me, where it gets fun.”
He admitted that no one gets it right all the time, and sometimes changes are needed if something isn’t working. “Look, nobody’s perfect, right? At the end of the day, you start to do some things, and if it’s not working, you go different directions or whatever that is. You pivot, maybe you don’t.” However, he took a jab at how frequently the term “pivot” is thrown around online, saying, “That’s the new word in the Internet now, pivot. You’ve got to pivot. We don’t like it, you have to pivot — no we don’t.”
Triple H made it clear that just because fans don’t immediately like something doesn’t mean the creative team needs to change course. He emphasized that WWE has a long-term vision in mind, finishing with, “You don’t know where it’s fucking going. There’s no pivot that needs to happen cause we know where it’s going.”

Should someone remind Hunter of what happened the last time he opened his STUPID mouth & denigrated the internet wrestling community (ala “me & my friend, Mark”)?
WWE’s ratings & viewership PLU-ME-TED after “the people on the internet” felt he insulted them, so they reacted by taking themself & their friend, Mark, & not watching WWE programming for quite some time.
Honestly, here’s to hoping technically WWE’s NEW owners, Silver Lake, eventually decide to FIRE Hunter from management.
I watched HHH’s “my friend Mark” Promo and I found it extremely funny. But I guess I can see how it would anger certain people who act like that. I honestly don’t take professional wrestling all that seriously.
