Triple H: The Hardest Thing In The World Is To Keep Your Finger On The Pulse Of What People Are Looking For
Triple H just wants to deliver.
In the age of social media, it is difficult for any wrestling promotion to satisfy their entire fanbase. Still, Triple H believes that fan engagement is a top priority across the board.
In a new interview with Stephen A. Smith, Triple H said that keeping his finger on the pulse is the hardest thing in the world.
“It’s difficult. I think the hardest thing in the world is to keep your finger on the pulse of what people are looking for. The world is always changing, you’ve see it over the years with WWE. I do think that we, as an entertainment form — When you start out as a performer, everything about your goal is to make that crowd cheer, to make that crowd boo. Everything is about fan engagement. So, you’re taught sort of those nuances from moment one. It’s everything we do. In a sport, you know, sometimes you have home games and sometimes you have away games. Sometimes you get booed, sometimes you get cheered. You want to sort of tune that out. When it’s positive, you can use it to your advantage, but when it’s negative — I suppose you can use that negativity too, but you sort of tune it out and want to go just do your job. Our job, everything about it is to engage with those fans. I do think we do it well but when sports is on, when the story is right, when you have an underdog story like the Knicks where they can dig out from underneath and years of disappointment and a fan base that has been hanging on hope, if you can deliver like that, then there’s nothing else like it. That’s what we aim to give us that emotional feeling. When that delivers for fans, there’s nothing else like it. You see it with the Knicks, you see it with their parade, you see it with the support they’ve gotten. As a group, that’s what we spend our time doing. Excellently done.”
