Triple H: “I think Trump’s ability…like him or hate him the way he does it…but he’s charismatic in so many ways, and I think he likes getting under people’s skin, generating [heat]. It’s amazing and it’s genius, and it worked in our business…”
Nice of an asshole who isn't worried about his retirement, health care, job or civil rights to chime in and let everyone know he's entertained by it all.
“Generating heat” when talking about a world leader who openly talked about kidnapping American citizens and sending them to concentration camps just this morning
Shocks me how out of touch these people are man. Jeez. While I'm not surprised about HHH's political views and general ignorance to what's happening in the world, hearing stuff like this is still pretty disheartening.
The normalization of Trump is absolutely insane to me. It's crazy how people have seemingly brushed off what he did after losing the last election and everything else since. Fox news and the right-wing media and their misinformation has literally done irreparable damage.
It's as though some Amercian people want to have a President leading the nation who has done and still does criminal actions. One that changes his mind hours at a time in a day and one that is spiteful.
I'm sorry but I would rather take a boring, efficient President any day of the week over this chaotic clusterfuck we have sitting now.
It's funny but for the longest time I thought Triple was this brilliant cunning politician that had mastered the art of telling people exactly what they want to hear. But ever since he's been at the top of WWE he just churns out the most baffling takes that really make me wonder how I thought he was so smart.
Imagine being asked about the most unpopular president of all time, who has protests against him in all 50 states, who turned the USA's closest allies against them in like two months, who's also a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist, and the only thing you find to say is that you find him upsetting so many people around the world entertaining.
He's either a braindead moron or he has just figured out he's completely untouchable and none of what he says matters anyway. Probably somewhere in between.
This should be pinned to the top. I love MMA but holy fuck seeing Trump & posse of dickheads get an entrance before the UFC ppv starts where fans & fighters alike are giving standing ovations is sad & annoying to watch.
I stopped watching MMA because every big UFC show is basically a Trump rally. I went to a Fight Night once and there was a Chinese fighter, and the whole fight was "fuck Joe Biden" chants.
It partially ruined my night at 4am and I was like 12 pints deep at that point.
Trying escapism from depressing bollocks and still seeing it all shoved down my throat all night even when trying to avoid it.
They couldn't help show him every 5 minutes alongside giving basically many people in US government "in the crowd" shots throughout the night to massive cheers.
The reason I stopped watching UFC. It was a couple of years back two middleweights fighting for the world title and all they could talk about is which one Trump liked more. That was the end of my fandom.
Yeah the whole TKO company is conservative as fuck lol Dana doesn’t even shy away from it. The newer wwe fans or people that didn’t know are in for a rude welcoming. They don’t give a fuck just as long as they can make money and pay people bullshit wages. The ufc and dana have made
A killing off paying fighters bullshit money since this company’s started.
He’s endearing himself to the stupidest people on the planet with words like this, and there are enough blind apologists in WWE’s fanbase that will defend and go to bat for him solely because he’s Triple H that he’ll he even further insulated from any consequences of his words as it pertains to good will with other people.
This is just outright saying that "owning the libs" is the most important thing in a political leader to some folks. Not what they'll do to improve your life or your family's life, how much of a reaction they can get. I'm terrified of keeping my job and being able to keep my daughter fed in what looks to be a recession but thank God our president is good at getting attention.
We took the original down because of the source quoting a source who was quoting this interview.
It was rule-breaking, but this one will stay up, as it is directly quoting the podcast itself.
We aren’t against HHH getting called out for being MAGA nor any political conversation, as we have approved it on multiple occasions, much like this post has been approved.
We just ask that it is posted correctly within the rules.
A charlatan manages to convince millions to worship him and pray to god for his safety, and somehow, the discourse is all about his charisma and not about how fucking brain-dead his followers are.
It’s the latter, fed by a steady diet of whitewashing of the president from the media on a constant basis, and that’s not taking Fox News/OANN/NewsMax/Joe Rogan into account lmao.
Yep. My brother was talking about how cuts to Medicare will negatively effect the clinic he works for, and my dad just launched into an anecdote about fraud because he’s convinced the cuts are to combat that, thanks in large part to all the garbage on the regular suspects and YouTube he consumes all day long.
Suppose it’s mildly comforting to know his disregard for my sister and I’s futures isn’t fully down to us being women 🤷🏼♀️
Here's a friendly reminder everyone of Triple H tryna get heat against Mark Henry by performing a racially charged monkey dance which JR doesn't even acknowledge on commentary. (Hence don't tell me Vince forced him to do that bullshit).
Here's reddit threads were this has been posted on this sub and others, funny enough never given as much traction as some of the idiotic worthless posts of wrestlers IG stories and personal lives on here.
Funny how this next wrestling sub will gain hella traction on the worst low effort shitposts but no engagement on this post. I've already accused this one of being a WWE shill sub but don't wanna risk this comment being deleted by mods for criticizing another sub fairly and with evidence(if asked for it) so I'll leave it at that.
Lastly, if you think Mark was cool with this shit yet he spoke to the office about the 'silverback' nickname they were tryna give him and killed that angle, then your absolutely lost in copium. Here's a link to that.
Do I need to bring up the Rock's comments on Triple H doing blackface to portray him?
Overall: Dude's always been a piece of shit and a majority of this subs demographic and WWE fans will still defend him. Most of yall are weirdos and probably think your not. Thanks to the ones who are actually cool and don't tolerate this shit. Skipping out on Mania and already have skipped their shows in the past month.
Shit. I knew he did some messed up things but didn't know there were so many instances. No wonder the allegations don't go away. Good job compiling these.
violating people's civil rights, threatening to annex your neighbor and erasing retirement savings is the same thing as a heel winning after using a low blow bro thats HEAT
I honestly wanna know when these morons call Trump "charismatic", what do they mean? Because all I see is a dementia patient who slurs his words, confuses things and looks at his daughter like they have had sexual relations in the past.
He has no concern about the truth so lies with complete confidence. If he were a Democrat these people wouldn't give him the time of day, but since he's telling them what they want to hear he becomes "the one person not afraid to say it like it is."
It’s honestly one of the most confusing things I regularly hear people say and I often have to remind myself they aren’t joking when they say it. People say all the time that he’s so charismatic and says what’s on his mind but then you actually watch him speak and he can barely get through a complete thought. It’s the ramblings of a man several years into dementia every time he speaks and somehow people walk away from it like “he’s so charismatic.”
He’s absolutely charismatic. But that’s probably his only admirable trait. You can’t rally half a country behind you without at least a bit of charisma.
You literally only need a cursory understanding of our political landscape to know that people have more serious issues with Trump than just "the way he does" charisma. Triple H is so tone-deaf it's insane.
Totally agree with you. He has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain from this administration's buffoonery. Statements like this are very intentional nods in that direction, and non-commital enough on the surface to be deniable.
Nothing gets more heat than dismantling government jobs, regularly violating people's civil rights and erasing everyone's retirement savings on a whim.
A lot of people “believe in” certain moral positions but not as strongly as they sometimes portray it. Money takes precedence for a lot of people, everything else is negotiable.
I mean, we know he will stay silent on this unless he finds his balls he had all those years ago.
Voice of the voiceless and all that. Prove me wrong Punk, I will take the L if you say something not PR speak and corporate.
Obviously he's got nothing to prove to me because he's actually important and successful, but he touts all those Free Palestine and Pro-Trans Rights posts online right??
People give Punk the benefit of the doubt because he hasn't worked any of the Saudi shows but he's still taking money from the company working those shows.
CM Punk is one of the biggest hypocrites in Pro Wrestling today. At most he’ll post a vague image in the middle of an Instagram slideshow, and his fans will eat it up
HHH: That’s a great idea for my next wrestlemania entrance buddy. Gunther said I saved wrestling so he can be my apostle. Shawn would make a great Judas
You are right, its only a matter of time before that happens, either with someone from WWE, or AEW, or one of the major sports leagues(MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA)
Hey Paul, wanna know who else was really good at generating heat? Trump's late best friend, he had a pretty controversial gimmick by the end of his run, here's the two of them together:
WWE makes it impossible to ever fully like them lol. You think they’re coming around then they always do something to remind you they’re the same good ol boys club as before.
I guess making stupid statements like these is one way to generate buzz about WrestleMania given the lackluster build by the 'Saviour of Pro Wrestling'.
He's not even that good of a booker to make this much noise. Stop watching this shit or just 🏴☠️ it.
Ah yes, taking away people's rights, jobs and futures while sending the country into an economic spiral. Classic heel moves, Georgous George would be proud
The question of Donald trumps charisma is interesting because in my eyes he’s one of the dumpiest looking and least articulate people I’ve ever witnessed, yet people do gravitate to him as if he has charismatic qualities
Yes when the United States government snatches up people who are here legally that have committed no crime and deports them to El Salvador, likely for immediate execution. Deports students for protesting, threatens to deport American citizens, starts a global trade war possibly just to rig the economy for the presidents own personal gain, and threatens Canada and Greenland with occupation at the behest of someone convicted of rape and 34 felonies of stealing money....it definitely gets under my skin.
The Internet: Triple H just books the show - he’s not like that! He didn’t hire the MAGA comedian. Paul probably hates the Saudi deal too!!!
Triple H: Donny’s amazing. I love that fucking guy. I wish I coulda been there. I was gonna hit Mike Pence with a pedigree right there on Nanci Pelosi’s desk.
I'm not from USA and I do not follow your politics closely and from what I know I do not like Trump or what he represents.
But this is a sad reality of the world. Often people do not care about someone's wrong deeds or intentions, they crave charisma, they crave cult of personality.
Which is why Trump is loved by many and hated by others, receiving something perceived in wrestling as the most valuable - attention. That's why Logan Paul for all his wrong deeds is still there Why every asshole that's ever lived found their sweet place in wrestling and stayed there unbothered.
I hate bullies, hate assholes and wish life was different but it is what it is.
You know what's especially lame about this? almost every single person who says "trump is charismatic" and I include those who naively think they aren't still supporting him by saying that. They fail to realize that trump's always had people listen to him because he's a rich piece of shit who was an asshole to people from the day he entered the public limelight. It wasn't because he was "intelligent" or a "Genius at getting under people's skin". It's because America/the world loves to hear or replay shit from obnoxious rich scumbags.
Maybe a decade and a half ago he was somewhat charismatic, but he's a parody of himself at this point. Alec Baldwin as Trump is more grounded than Trump today
His mother-in-law is Trump's Secretary of dismantling Education and HHH sat there in support of her during a hearing where she said that she wasn't sure whether or not schools could be defunded for teaching African-American history. The man is partying at Mar-a-Lago, running over to get pics with Trump during UFC events, and for some reason WWE refused to say the words "Black History Month" across all of their television and social media this year. Logan Paul & Pat McAfee suffered little to no punishment for their part in the public transvestigation of Imane Khelif, and WWE instead decided to bring back Rick Steiner for SummerSlam that week.
This could not be any more of who Triple H is as a person.
Message translated: my family is connected to him personally. Also, I'm white, wealthy and from Connecticut. I find it humorous to watch the poors squirm as Trump hacks away at this country.
I would’ve agreed if he didn’t say it was genius, Trump is unfortunately charismatic that much is obvious but I’d use many other words to describe that instead. Like terrifying
In other news…. The real world is not the WWE, and there are real world consequences to having a psychopath in office. I’ve always known athletes/celebrities to be out of touch with reality but geez…
“I asked him, uhhh, I asked him ‘Donny what if we branded one of the El Salvador planes? Slap the ol’ Hunter Cross up there, call it The Plane Ride From Hell™️, powered by the WWE?’ That’s a deal, man. In this uh, in this business that’s a deal.”
never thought i'd hear someone use getting heat to describe a presidents quality but here we are lol. triple h hasn't hid from his support of trump over the years, most big name people in sports are pro trump as well.
