A wrestling veteran recently spoke about how recent comments made by Cody Rhodes could be a hint at a larger discord between Triple H and WWE’s parent company, TKO. Dutch Mantell thinks Cody commenting on potentially replacing Hunter as the creative force of the company might be a sign of things to come.
The first couple of years under Triple H’s leadership turned out to be very fruitful, with the global juggernaut churning out record-breaking profits. Moreover, fans, too, were in for a treat as The Game delivered some of the most compelling feuds in recent memory. However, of late, things haven’t been as positive.
While financially, the company is just as strong as ever, many have been critical of the lackluster storylines. This has even led to chatter about Triple H’s job being in danger in the long run. A few days back, Cody Rhodes got fans buzzing when he named himself, among a few others, as a potential successor to The Game.
Speaking on his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, the WWE veteran stated that the fact that Cody made these comments knowing TKO would take note of them could mean HHH is already in trouble with his bosses.
“This is kind of soon for them to be in contention, but Vince McMahon is not in charge anymore. So this was meant to be seen by the TKO people, the Endeavor people….and that tells me they might be having a little bit of trouble with Triple H,” said Dutch Mantell. [43:12 – 43:43]
Vince Russo blasts Triple H and WWE for Drew McIntyre’s poor booking
On the latest edition of Sportskeeda’s BroDown, Vince Russo expressed his frustration with Drew McIntyre’s booking in WWE. Russo believes that a performer of McIntyre’s stature shouldn’t be whining after his losses and that he was miscast.
“The biggest problem. You know we make it clear, you and I are both Drew McIntyre fans. He’s got it all bro. He’s got it all. There’s no question about it. Now you put him out in the ring and now he sounds like he’s whining. Let me tell you something. Here’s why they are so out of touch with reality. A guy that looks like Drew McIntyre, he’s not going to whine, he’s going to be k**ling people. You can put someone else in a whiner role, not a Drew McIntyre.”
Following his failure to win the Undisputed Title from Cody Rhodes, McIntyre is now set to feud with Jacob Fatu following their confrontation on SmackDown.
