Vince Russo isnt biting his tongue when it comes to Triple Hs role as WWEs Chief Content Officerand according to him, Hunters marriage to Stephanie McMahon is the only reason he got the job in the first place.
During a recent episode of Writing with Russo with Dr. Chris Featherstone, the former WWE writer ripped into Triple Hs creative qualifications and called his current role undeserved. Russo made it clear that he believes Triple H wouldve never climbed to the top without his ties to the McMahon family.
Setting the stage, Russo acknowledged that Triple H may have been suited for a less powerful position backstagejust not the one hes in now.
Russo didnt stop there. He questioned The Games grasp on wrestling storytelling, especially in areas as basic as character alignment and psychology.
He continued to slam the quality of WWEs product under Triple Hs direction, blaming what he called creative holes on the man in charge. Russo challenged the logic behind putting former wrestlers in high-level creative positions just because of their in-ring success.
Russo wasnt finished. He claimed the power dynamic at the top is more about who you know than what you knowespecially when your spouse is the bosss daughter.
He even suggested that if Triple H hadnt married Stephanie, someone else would be sitting in the top spotsomeone with a more legitimate claim to the throne.
Russo made it clear this wasnt a personal vendettahe simply doesnt believe marrying into the McMahon family should automatically crown someone as the top creative voice in pro wrestling.
WWEs internal politics and family ties have always been a hot topic among wrestling insiders and fans, but Russo just poured gasoline on the fire. His take strips the mystique off Triple Hs climb to power and throws down the question: was it really earned?
