Stone Cold Podcast with Triple H – My Thoughts



Sitting and listening to the Steve Austin Show.. Oh wait sorry, Stone Cold Podcast exclusively on the WWE Network for $9.99.. (internal groan) I couldn’t help but feel like Triple H was trying to make Vince happy but teetering on the edge of pleasing him and opinionated, most of the times dancing around answers because his obvious answer would displease, but having little mini disagreements like Raw being 2 hours, or Chyna deserving to be in the Hall of Fame. This isn’t knocking him (a fave quote from the podcast), Triple H came across very genuine and knows exactly what he wants from the company but due to Vince it seems he can’t be as creative as he’d like to be, that isn’t just Vince’s fault; it is also our fault.

Kayfabe is dead. But we like it, honestly and truthfully we love it. We like to know that the people we think deserve the push the most gets the push when we cause an uproar. Triple H would like us to trust him and WWE with stories, but we’ve been fooled for long enough and now it has gotten to a point of no return.

Triple H also talked about wanting the show to be 2 hours long. We’d all obviously like Raw to cut down to 2 hours, the amount of stories they are having on at one time only really equates to 2 hours but you also have other shows like Smackdown and Main Event where you can focus on smaller stories much easier while Raw could be the main story lines. Triple H also said he’d like the long stories, slow burn stories to come back but now it’s very hard due to the “Reality Era”, I have to agree with the COO on this one, Slow burn stories are wonderful with the ultimate payback at the end which makes the story that much sweeter, that’s what made Daniel Bryan’s year long battle with The Authority to capture the WWE title at ‘Mania was so satisfying.

Chyna definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame and it’s possible to have her in with DX but I don’t feel it would have the same effect. Chyna did a lot for the Women’s Division breaking boundaries that still aren’t broken today. But Chyna’s obvious Porn career after WWE seems to be an issue, Triple H said what if 8 year olds looked up chyna on google what would you find? You’d find this:


A simple Google page and profile for Chyna, professional wrestler. Apart from some slightly risky photos which every WWE Diva has when you google them, there is no mention of Chyna’s career in the porn industry nor is there direct links of images or such videos. So I call bullshit, sure I see Triple H’s point but I think there is deep seeded issues with the former relationship not necessarily from Triple H himself but probably the McMahon family.

That aside I do look forward to the day where Triple H is the guy in Vince’s position, I feel like WWE is in safe hands and the sooner The Game gets his hands on the company the better, I do feel the company have improved since the PG Era but there is still work to be done to get it back to a stage where we all love the product immensely. That’s what we all want out of this, the best product WWE can give us.
