TRIPLE H TALKS ABOUT HIS CURRENT WORKING ROLE
Triple H discussed his new behind the scenes role with World Wrestling Entertainment (Senior Advisor to Vince McMahon) during a recent interview with www.rxmuscle.com.
He stressed that while he has run select television events in recent months, nowadays he has almost nothing to do with the organization’s creative process. The multi-time champion added he does not attend creative meetings since he’s in the office most of the time learning other aspects of WWE’s business operations.
He noted that he is now a “special attraction” wrestler rather than a full time performer. He did say, however, that he is able to resume a full-time wrestler’s schedule if needed.
