Triple H: Live Events Shouldn’t Totally Go Away, But It’s A Dilemma
Triple H comments on WWE and live events.
In recent years, WWE has cut down on live events, formerly running nearly every weekend to maybe running one weekend a month.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Triple H explained the dilemma in running live events compared to not.
“The live events are so important for getting the reps and moving things forward; it’s why we’re making a concerted effort, especially in NXT, to get them more reps. There comes a time when the physicality has increased so much that you’re trying to draw this line of, ‘Are guys being on the road all the time beneficial to their development, or is that putting mileage on them?’ It’s like the argument in football, ‘Do we practice full contact or do we walk through? Is that really teaching them football?’ It’s a dilemma, and I don’t know the answer. I don’t think it should go away totally. I’m old school and believe you learn this craft not only by being in the ring but also by learning it from a series of guys before me and in the car after. It’s a dilemma, and it’s part of the learning process,” he said.
WWE is running a summer tour with live events throughout the summer on non-PLE weekends, including this past weekend.
Elsewhere during the interview, HHH commented on the relationship between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar. You can find his full comments here.
