HHH is bullface liar. I'm sure he's been knowing about it was coming. I'm sure everybody in TKO got the heads-up about another Vince's allegations. HHH pulled Brock Lesnar out of the Rumble ppv probably before the news came out.
He was more worried flexing the Netflix money and taking shots at AEW than adressing all the horrible things Vince is accused Cody sounded more like an actual leader and gave a better answer than Triple h lol
@@mrnicemam8523 At some point, you have to knock that crap off. It's never a good look and it's even worse when a real controversy is overshadowing everything.
It makes me wonder if maybe he felt that saying _anything_ could come back to haunt him later, perhaps legally, when more is revealed about who knew what, or who was involved on some level. It was so strange.
Only thing strange was there were only three questions on the architect of modern sports entertainment being removed out of disgraceful conduct, and he was basically able to successfully conduct a victory lap press conference about a ppv, he needed the press and media to promote.
I just would've cancelled the press conference or told everyone ahead of time that any questions about vince will not be addressed as it wasnt the time for that
I agree that he should’ve address the allegations even if all he said was, we won’t be commenting on that at this time because that shows he’s aware of what is going on. However, I don’t agree with canceling the press conference in my opinion that opens up speculation for the Media to run with making the situation worse.
Solomonster telling it like it is!!! All of these other wrestling podcasters seem to be skirting around the issue. They don’t wanna question Trips or TKO. You must have accountability. Solo is the real deal.
Don't be surprised if HHH knew a lot about some of Vince's antics. He was around him a lot. He probably turned a blind eye to it which makes him an enabler in some way. A lot of names are going to come out I feel. If the company can survive this debacle, which it will, then they will have a chance to rebuild company ethics on new foundations.
Ofcourse he knew to some level...he is vince son in law and we all know how vince likes to brag so if anyone thinks he didn't know then they are deluded....and thats why he deflected the questions....he didn't eant to say anything that cpuld potentially incriminate himself later.
The very fact that Hunter was just avoiding the questions on the Vince McMahon scandal pretty much made it look far more worse, the best thing he could have done as a professional especially in that kind of position was say to everyone before the conference started that we won't be taking any of those questions until the matter was resolved, i thought Cody handled the situation far better than he did and he's not even part of the management
How can a billion dollar company not hire better PR reps is just mind boggling ? The pressure is high on him coz he is the face of the execs but ffs prep better man.
@@davidnelson4347 But there is a difference between corporate speak and what he did. Corporate speak is what PR and lawyers tell you to say. They’d tell you to say that the company takes allegations like that seriously. They wouldn’t tell you to say that you aren’t there to focus on the negatives.

I've always seen through the bs that is Triple H. I know many people don't like him and, although he himself isn't very perfect, but Bret Hart knows the real Triple H better than anyone and I admire that he calls him out from time to time.

Honestly he should’ve just said “I’m not sure how much I can legally comment on that situation given the current circumstances, obviously it is a bit of a black cloud and we take incredibly seriously, but I’m not sure what I can and can’t discuss with you guys in regards to Vince due to the ongoing legal process” and I think we all would’ve accepted that because I’m really not sure how much they can comment given the rumors that it maybe about to become a federal case
Don't throw around such heavy accusations like that. That's very irresponsible. Not defending HHH, Vince or anyone but this is an incredibly serious matter that we don't have much info on just yet.
@@thegreenpianist7683 I didn't accuse anyone of anything but we can't completely rule that out at this time with the information that currently out like I said I hope it's not the case
He is not saying anything because he fears for his life. He knew about this all along and did nothing to stop it because Vince is his idol. He knows that his history of lies, cowardice and hypocrisy has finally caught up with him and that he will soon be exposed. CM "we respect women here" Punk must be so proud to be "home" working for this man.
It was a mistake all together if you wanna get serious with it. They should had somebody came out before it even started and said "We understand there is accusations going on Vince Mcmahon right now. Please understand that this is a very serious matter, and it is being taken to the fullest extent. we are cooperating with all people involved. With this in mind, We will not take any questions at this time." And that would had fixed the problem before it even started. I think HHH was just scared he may (or might) screw up and say something that may bite him in the ass.
Not obvious how good anybody can be in that role, but TKO let the media pretty gently feel him out...They got taste of his polish but it's believable he's son in law and product of Vince culture. Stephanie was the upside of the whole lot and Vince sunk her with board machination. TKO has to find out what THEY bought because old guard sees it as their's, maybe still Vince's.
Looks like Trips lost his professionalism bc he saw and knew was happened there with Vince and is in Panic mode bc they wanna talk to him too about it.
Hes also married to Stephanie so what is he supposed to do? Go on tv and claim Vince is a perverted degenerate? and destroy the company and his marriage?
The dude is a meathead. If anyone thinks this guy should have ever been considered a true executive, they're fooling themselves. He's not polished, he's moody, and he can't think on his feet. Not to mention, he should have been much better prepared to answer those questions. Everyone in that building knew they were coming.
No time to read a lawsuit but time for the rock to take Cody’s spot at wrestlemania. Right ok hhh. Guess you’re just rock’s lap dog rather than Vince’s.
This fumble by HHH likely led to Rock going to TKO execs/Ari and questioning HHH's Wrestlemania vision. Less than one week after this, they rewrote the main event and The Rock is probably going to take a shot at HHH's role at creative.
Cody Runnels is just a wrestler not an executive, from a legal standpoint(NOT A PR STANDPOINT) if Cody was upper management, his answer would LEGALLY be considered idiotic. Remember WWE is on the suit@@aksghazi868
I don't disagree with you but he sounded like a guy with a below average IQ pretending to be an executive of a company with a market cap of almost 15 billion, which he probably is. He needs to go because he's definitely in over his head now. He will be pushed out now that his father in law is gone. And hopefully soon.
Cody's response was better but I HIGHLY doubt Cody was involved in any way, while HHH was very likely knowledgable about it given how close he was to Vince
I actually feel incredibly sad for triple h. He was put in such a horrible situation, I think he done the right thing. Legally he may not have been allowed to comment who knows. But the hate is so unreasonable.
I don't feel bad for him. People have clung to him as if he's this wrestling profit but have forgotten exactly how he got there in the first place. I also can't for the life of me, stand for the hypocrisy in people defending him here when Tony Khan, whom I also don't like very much these days, was asked a similar question and yet, no one bloody defended him and his answer was overall better than Triple H's. This has nothing to do with AEW. Nothing to do with Tony Khan. This is the double standard that most Triple H fans online seem to have. The guy is completely without fault, which is bullshit.
why didn't they say we won't be taking any vince McMahon questions for the foreseeable future cody rhodes did a great job with this better than triple h did lol that evp joke made me laugh.
I don't blame Triple H, someone at TKO should have given him something prepared on the situation, and not just let him answer it on the fly, yes it came across as clumsy, I agree he answered it poorly, but probably didn't want to step on anyones toes
We also have to blame tko and endeavor for this mess as well. Since they agree to have the rock and roman face each other on the rock board of director contract.
I his defense, his job is to deflect, most corporations do in these situation. But also keep in mind it is personal for HHH. He has a delicate balance he has corporate bosses to answer to, but he’s also married to Stephanie. So in all fairness, he isn’t in the easiest of positions
I think women specifically need to be reminded that they don't have to put up with what this women did. the first unwanted advance you say no. the second time you say no and report it to HR. one more strike and you get a labor attorney. you don't have go to a hotel room or stay late when everyone else is gone except the one bothering you. you can say No!
you know hhh was a part of the big play to oust mcmahon along with steph, linda and nick. he isn't going to come out and say yea i knew and i got rid of him, he done things in a professional way as far as I am concerned. Not everything has to be addressed and vilified on the spot. He knows what is going on and isn't stupid.
He could not answer the questions because it puts the investigation in jeopardy. + he had Stephanie to keep in mind they are still married and have kids.
@@Sencez1 Thank you! I know Tony Khan doesn't have a perfect track record when it comes to handling press conferences, but what does he have to do with Triple H's mishandling of questions regarding Vince's allegations?
Cody's answer was a much better job FOR A WRESTLER; if he was an executive, from a legal standpoint Cody's answer is idiotic. From a legal standpoint WWE shouldn't acknowledge any fault or show expressions that "take accountability" in anyway shape or form.
I honestly don't think fair to paul....it's a no win situation but why are we critiquing and Criticing what he said.....he awnserd the way he thought was correct...and in all honesty that's what we need to leave it as....like how do u respond to that shit...
If your dad in law allegedly did something, you probably wouldn't be like "HE'S THE WORST" without waiting for the outcome of a jury, but even then, afterward it'd be like "Well, he's a bad guy, but I'll write him a letter to prison sometimes, he's still family." and lets say the court decides he's not going to prison/not liable or something, then imagine having made a bold statement, then that REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY AWKWARD thanksgiving dinner. uh... I think give the guy a lil break for sighing, taking a 50 foot pole, and cringing while poking the topic.
I don't understand why everyone's being so hostile towards Triple H when it's clear he only had less than 2 days to prepare while also having to book two rumbles, then finding out last minute that THREE of his biggest talents can't work. And all this right at the tail end of what was actually going to be a very good week. It was total emotional whiplash. He had multiple things going on, multiple disasters, and suddenly now he has to address serious, incriminating allegations involving this father-in-law while he knows his wife and children are watching. I'd seriously like to see how any of us would act under that much pressure.
I think HHH made the right move here. None of this insanity with Vince is his, or anyone else's fault. It's a bad siutation but, it is what it is. Why dwell on things and risk pouring more gasoline on the fire? Yes, it's his father in law but, remember: HHH also has a big responsibility with his position and the company too. So i give him Props for trying to keep things positive and professional, despite the circus that's happening on the side. Sometimes all you can do in a tough situation like this, is accepting that what's done is DONE. The Past hurts but, we need look to the future.
Aren't people starting to look at Paul in the McMahon controversy? A lot of people are asking where he was when McMahon was doing...what he was doing. He is the #2-3 guy so it does make one wonder. His response was very Tony Khan-ish in trying to dodge the questions
I disagree. I think Triple H handled it as best as he could. If he mentioned anything specific about the allegations, it would've only added fuel to the flame and overshadow Cody and Bayley winning the Rumble. There's a time and a place to address these things and a Royal Rumble Conference was not it
Triple H feels worse to me because there are actual allegations and investigations going on and he's the son in law of the person being investigated. Not to mention the allegations involve more than just Vince within the WWE structure. But HHH is focusing on the positives...
Professionalism is not saying “We are going to focus on the positives and not the negatives of an amazing week” when your company is a defendant in a sec trafficking allegation. (Not actual quote, paraphrasing)
@@davidnelson4347 Except it is. Vince McMahon, Joun Laurinaitis *and* WWE were all named as defendants in the lawsuit. And as Solomonster mentioned in the clip, other unnamed executives are implicated too.
He did not know, he was put on the spot. I would have answered the same exact way. Cody answered the question, so Triple H didn't think they would ask the question again. Whether it sounded bad or not. I'd wanna focus on the show.
the ? was about someone else it wasnt HHH why did u shit on that girl the ? was not about him so he did not answer i learned that a long time ago and live it if it aint my story to tell and u want to know someone elses buisness u need to go ask that someone and have them tell u
He didn't fail at all. Its not his responsibility to answer the questions about the vince mcmahon stuff. Those are questions that the higher ups from TKO should answer. He is just a booker. Thats it
what did they want triple h to say? he should have never had the press conference. I also do not think he was lying about not reading the 61 page story. He was already stressed booking royal rumble.
What are the allegations of ILLEGAL behavior that can be proved id like to know. He had a sex life and liked to do hard-core things. Is that illegal? Nobody got sex trafficked, she's not a victim in this. Was she not complicit in all this for years without crying foul to the company, finding another job or saying no and actually following through with it. Wasn't it okay for her up until he stopped being her sugar daddy and she stopped recieving extravagant gifts, maybe didnt get payed all the NDA money she was expecting after anonymous emails were sent. He already stepped down from the company. It's not like he can get fired at this point for having sex in the office. The most illegal thing he did probably was using company money to pay off these women to keep their mouths shut instead of wide open ready to receive.
No time to read the lawsuit, but plenty of time to take another dig at AEW
But Triple H has said "we dont pay attention to them"
LMAO
HHH is bullface liar. I'm sure he's been knowing about it was coming. I'm sure everybody in TKO got the heads-up about another Vince's allegations. HHH pulled Brock Lesnar out of the Rumble ppv probably before the news came out.

I didn’t think it was a big deal at all
I don't understand why everyone's being so hostile towards Triple H when it's clear he only had less than 2 days to prepare while also having to book two rumbles, then finding out last minute that THREE of his biggest talents can't work. And all this right at the tail end of what was actually going to be a very good week. It was total emotional whiplash. He had multiple things going on, multiple disasters, and suddenly now he has to address serious, incriminating allegations involving this father-in-law while he knows his wife and children are watching. I'd seriously like to see how any of us would act under that much pressure.
I would have quit 30 years ago when I first found out about Vince trafficking women.
It’s a bunch of carnival workers, working a carnival. What more would you expect?
I think HHH made the right move here. None of this insanity with Vince is his, or anyone else's fault. It's a bad siutation but, it is what it is. Why dwell on things and risk pouring more gasoline on the fire? Yes, it's his father in law but, remember: HHH also has a big responsibility with his position and the company too. So i give him Props for trying to keep things positive and professional, despite the circus that's happening on the side.
Sometimes all you can do in a tough situation like this, is accepting that what's done is DONE. The Past hurts but, we need look to the future.
Aren't people starting to look at Paul in the McMahon controversy? A lot of people are asking where he was when McMahon was doing...what he was doing. He is the #2-3 guy so it does make one wonder. His response was very Tony Khan-ish in trying to dodge the questions
I disagree. I think Triple H handled it as best as he could. If he mentioned anything specific about the allegations, it would've only added fuel to the flame and overshadow Cody and Bayley winning the Rumble. There's a time and a place to address these things and a Royal Rumble Conference was not it
My first ? Is the Doo doo allegations true?
I don’t know what was worse? Triple H’s answer about Vince or Tony Khan’s answer about Chris Jericho.
Triple H was worse
Triple H feels worse to me because there are actual allegations and investigations going on and he's the son in law of the person being investigated. Not to mention the allegations involve more than just Vince within the WWE structure. But HHH is focusing on the positives...
They were both terrible looks
Triple H was way worse.
Triple H was worse, and Jericho was completely innocent of those allegations.
Its so easy to rag on HHH as fans, the better question is what would you have said.
What did yall expect HHH to say, "oh yeah vince is evil hahaha"?????? Its called professionalism people.
Professionalism is not saying “We are going to focus on the positives and not the negatives of an amazing week” when your company is a defendant in a sec trafficking allegation.
(Not actual quote, paraphrasing)
Vince doesn't deserve professionlalism
@@rickhaavisto9023 the company is not a defendant though. Do yall just come on here and say anything?
@@davidnelson4347 Except it is. Vince McMahon, Joun Laurinaitis *and* WWE were all named as defendants in the lawsuit. And as Solomonster mentioned in the clip, other unnamed executives are implicated too.
@@HeyItsAJOmega I stand corrected. Even more reason for triple h not to say anything.
He did not know, he was put on the spot. I would have answered the same exact way. Cody answered the question, so Triple H didn't think they would ask the question again. Whether it sounded bad or not. I'd wanna focus on the show.
He didn't know??? The man that has been attached to the hip of McMahon for 2 decades+... stop the cap
it's not HHHs fault.
Id like to see a run of the mill fan do a better job than Triple H
the ? was about someone else it wasnt HHH why did u shit on that girl the ? was not about him so he did not answer i learned that a long time ago and live it if it aint my story to tell and u want to know someone elses buisness u need to go ask that someone and have them tell u
He didn't fail at all. Its not his responsibility to answer the questions about the vince mcmahon stuff. Those are questions that the higher ups from TKO should answer. He is just a booker. Thats it
W
what did they want triple h to say? he should have never had the press conference. I also do not think he was lying about not reading the 61 page story. He was already stressed booking royal rumble.
What are the allegations of ILLEGAL behavior that can be proved id like to know. He had a sex life and liked to do hard-core things. Is that illegal? Nobody got sex trafficked, she's not a victim in this. Was she not complicit in all this for years without crying foul to the company, finding another job or saying no and actually following through with it. Wasn't it okay for her up until he stopped being her sugar daddy and she stopped recieving extravagant gifts, maybe didnt get payed all the NDA money she was expecting after anonymous emails were sent. He already stepped down from the company. It's not like he can get fired at this point for having sex in the office. The most illegal thing he did probably was using company money to pay off these women to keep their mouths shut instead of wide open ready to receive.
Bro.... Its his father in law.
I doubt he was involved, it wouldn't make sense for Vince to send nudes of women to his daughters husband.
Who cares? HHH didn’t do it
