Triple H interview - younger stars he sees as the future and more
Quote:
WWE star Triple H acknowledged in an interview there aren't enough places for aspiring wrestlers to learn how to be wrestlers, which impairs WWE's ability to make new stars to replace the current stars. Hunter called WWE a "victim of their own success" with the decline of territories and viable places for wrestlers to find work.
"When I was coming up, there were lots of places to work and learn your craft and, by the time you got called up to the WWE, you already had plenty of ability - whereas now, you achieve a bit of success and you come in before you've learned," Hunter told boxing writer Danny Flexon in an interview for Powerslam Magazine. "There's fewer places to send wrestlers where you can let them make mistakes. Guys used to say that WWE wouldn't even look at you until you've had five years' experience. But, now, we're looking at guys who've had between six months and a year."
Hunter also went specific on younger wrestlers currently on the WWE roster he sees as having the most potential. The list includes many of the same names other veterans have pointed to.
"C.M. Punk is obviously already on his way to becoming a big star. Jack Swagger, I like. Sheamus. Evan Bourne is very good. Kofi Kingston," Hunter said. "They are all moving up, but slowly, which is the right way."
Hunter was also philosophical on how to build up the young talent. He claimed it was his idea for Legacy members Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Cody Rhodes to jump DX during their reunion promo a few months ago that jump-started the feud. He gave his philosophy that the top stars need to be strong, though, and shot down critics of how the Undertaker vs. C.M. Punk feud has played out.
"You put C.M. Punk in a 30-minute match with The Undertaker, it's 50-50 all the way and then Punk wins clean, the fans won't accept it. It does nothing for C.M. Punk, and it's also detrimental to the Undertaker," Hunter said. "Some people think we're (HBK and himself) scheming all the time to improve our own situations. But the more people we make stars, the more money we all make, and everyone's happy."
Hunter used the example of Steve Austin making himself a star at the 1996 King of the Ring and against Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13 to show how a good wrestler becomes a star. He said younger talent need to find a way to stand out, even if they're only given four minutes of TV time.
At the end of the interview, Hunter said he works out Sheamus on the road as his work-out program. Hunter singled him out as a protege that he sees as a future star for WWE because he does the little things to impress people backstage.
"The closest (younger star) to me is probably Sheamus, because we always train together on the road. But I try to watch all the young guys' matches and give them advice, if they want to hear it," he said, almost if he had to defend himself for giving advice. "If they take advice to heart and really want to improve, them I am wanting to help. As for seeing some of myself in someone? That's tough. Sheamus just the other day showed up at a show he didn't have to be at. He does whatever he's asked to do without complaining, he goes to every show and is always wanting to work: he does it all, goes above and beyond. That's what I was like."

Re: Triple H interview - younger stars he sees as the future and more
An extract from Sheamus and HHH conversation backsatge the first time they wrestle on TV.
Sheamus- So what your saying is dont hit any signature moves.
HHH- Exactly, you have to keep the crowd guessing on your moves. Its detremental to have a colective stream. Have you ever seen me or HBK do it?
Sheamus- Well yeah, actua...
HHH- EXACTLY! Not once. So Ill hit a spinebuster or two, then a pedergree, and dont forget to bend for the knee to the face.
Sheamus- Uhhhhh sure, and me?
HHH- Im thinking scoop slam. Dont worry I'll put you over massive.
Sheamus- You will!??!!
HHH- Of course man, now dont forget your chicken suit, the crowd will love you for it, trust me you will be huge.
Sheamus- Oh Hunter, the internet is so wrong about you!
*HHH sees fellow wrestlers playing SD VS RAW 2010 in locker room and he is hurt on the game.
HHH- HEY THATS NOT FUCKING ALLOWED, IM TELLING VINCE!!!!!!! ...................What, oh sorry Sheamus, yeah your right, the internet has it backward all right.
That's something that none of you delusional wrestling fans other than myself will ever do.
Whats the biggest turn on there? The love handles, incredibly husky voice or mean scowling face? But Im sure HHH does love her. I mean he did date Chyna.........
