Triple H talked about the mind of Vince McMahon in a recent public outing despite WWE distancing itself from the former chairman. The company's chief content officer revealed what his father-in-law saw before anybody else in the wrestling industry.
WWE sparked buzz on Friday after announcing that WrestleMania 43 will take place at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Before the press conference, Triple H met with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco on the Nightcap podcast to talk about a variety of topics.
One of the things they discussed was the territories, with WWE's head of creative mentioning Vince McMahon. The Hall of Famer shared McMahon's vision to take pro wrestling to the global map by foreseeing the future of cable and putting all the biggest stars in one promotion.
"Vince was a genius that saw cable coming and the regional going away and national becoming the thing and eventually global. To some degree, for the talent that time frame was almost better because the guys that you saw that were successful at the highest of levels like in WWE had been places for years, honing their craft and you just read about them in magazines," the WWE executive said.
Vince McMahon created the WWE into a billion-dollar brand, finally selling the company to Endeavor in 2023. He was removed from the company after allegations brought on by a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant.
