Triple H: Why WWE Is Working With TNA 

He deserves that

I wanna hear get ready to fly

@@davidholzer4155I do too, but he don’t.

@@BrandonMobley614 if and when he does, that will be the last big pop TNA sees before WWE buys and destroys them.

28 people can only be so loud lol

Scott's firing was still the stupidest thing ever imo. If what your saying is true, this WWE deal is probably one of the biggest things making TNA money right now and it was his idea. And THEN they fire him? Anthem is a joke

There's like 2 dozen people currently on the WWE roster, who started in TNA.

He also made the AEW partnership which went awfully. So there’s that …

@@andregordon2599not really. He was a bad Booker & clearly struggled after Callis left

They SHOULD HAVE done this in 2008/2009 ?

Wargames

Yeah, very similar to AEW's Forbidden Door event. That would be cool! 😎

@@MSAinfluxyeah NXT came up with worlds collide before AEW even existed lol , if anything AEW copied WWE like everything else they copy lol .

​@@jayjaymontes9172😂What a joke

@@jayjaymontes9172 It's more like the Ring of Honor/New Japan partnership, since that's where AEW was born in the first place.

Maybe someday we might return to something resembling the old territory ecosystem, where different promotions made up the whole of the business and had good working relationships with each other, instead of one megapromotion being synonymous with the business itself.

You do know that it was WWE itself that has essentially monopolized pro wrestling after the territory days. And they have extended their stranglehold on the industry after ECW and WCW folded. WWE wants to build up connections with smaller companies like TNA and Noah in Japan so they can get a greater pool of talent and offer better contracts to these talents.

At least Triple H not destroying wrestling promotions like Vince did lol

It's what wrestling companies do since the beginning other than WWE don't act like it's new

​@@tonchigaming7238man gtfoh bruv the e is like a lil stingy selfish child if you can see that you are and have not followed wrestling,TNA has maybe 20k viewers period can't sell out arenas, they work with all the opposition companies of all the companies AEW works with🤷🏽😐💯. They started doing it after seeing the way wrestling fans and the wrestling world reacted to the sharing with the second and third largest wrestling promotions in the world.

But the show is still for autists?

Truly Triple H is a Leader by example

@@setoalgorytgm2748 I don’t get it… Vince was already doing this since the 80s

​@reggiesmith6196 people are loving to ride Triple Nose. Dude has misteps but because he's better than his father law people pretend to not see them

@@ShayneRawls even before HHH started running things these marks really believed Vince didn’t work with anybody.

😂😂😂😂

💀

@@themondoshow let me guess you miss Vince the perv right?

So am I!!!

​@@eddywashere3391Yu should quit assuming things.

Difference is that Tna isn’t needing the money to keep the company alive

Basically collaborating with each sides talent for programs. TNA don’t need their money thou in difference.

@@Disneymagic24their talent is the “money”

A commonly known partnership that a majority of wrestling fans either don’t know about or outright ignore just to talk trash on Vince McMahon saying he doesn’t partner with other companies

You sound like a dumb ass

Household name is little wild...

@@bassbro33 I’ve legit had ppl at work who never talk about wrestling bring him up.

TNA has been relevant for years bud . It’s just now they’ve become a lot more mainstream because of this deal .

Short hair AJ Styles 😂😂😂😂

@@iTsGonzo I don’t think you know what relevance is bud 😂

Meanwhile it allows those in NXT to get a chance to feel and work with crowds outside of the WWE/NXT bubble. So it helps them grow their skills in that regard.

They did wrestle each other in TNA

@@gordonhotchkiss646 and Andre and Hogan wrestled each other before WM3 so what's your point??? THIS IS WHAT I MEAN MAN about you D.A. kids out here... also why did you like your own comment??? kid WTH are you EVEN Doing Out Here?????

this company has done more than enough to prove that its turned the page from vince. it'll happen.

@@6asement Dont get me wrong. I got fed up with the Vince Mcmahon era years ago. I have come back to WWE because of what HHH is doing

@@billybadass3056 do u know something im plesantly suprised they havent ruined him

Acting like Vince McMahon didn't work other promotions is just retarded. Just because he didn't acknowledge or work with your one little favorite barnyard promotion doesn't negate the fact that he routinely worked with others. Smokey Mtn. NJPW. USWA. ECW. Just to name a very few.

Haha ‘The Perv' got me xD

Vince THE POOPER is better

Yeah Yall weirdos hate Vince and are pretending like majority of woman have no morals and do anything to get ahead in life I'm pretty sure anyone he was doing stuff with was 100% with it because that's how the world is and always was Just in today's time we act like females aren't liars even though we all experienced females being Thots

Real reason: It no longer has the potential to be a threat. They also want to sign Hendry and Jordynne.

yes broken matts house of horrors war games oowowowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@@williamwhite2830 Oooooo Broken Matt vs The Wyatt Six? MONEY MATCH

Oh yeah I wanna see ziggler in a wwe match again. That would be awesome

Bring Ultimate X to WWE

They've made it very clear that TNA talent is below WWE main Roster talent. That is why they're only working with NXT talent.

Tony inspired this with working with TNA first & Open door.

The only thing Tony is getting his fingers ready to do is chop his marching powder , he put a lock on the WWE forbidden door when he said the Weinstein bs . I think that was the fire that lit WWE back up and said naw f this call center looking mofo we're bout to cook

@@holdthetruthhostage Your username is so fitting because you’re holding the truth hostage while spewing lies💀 Forbidden Door was not the first time wrestling companies worked together. There’s many occasions that happened years before AEW was even an idea 😂

@@Jfkeav23 kind of a stoopid comment. How you quoting sht that happened decades ago. Modern times khan was the one who did it when vince and others were conservative hillbillies

@@Jfkeav23 It is the first time a major American Wrestling Promotion had a working relationship that big with other wrestling promotions. WWE, WCW or ECW did not do that before on a consistent basis.

He being a former wrestler/talent is great.

"GET READY TO FLY!"

Get ready to fly

I love that theme, it’s way better than his wwe theme song but sadly he said he’s sick of it & doesn’t want to hear it again on Chris Van Vliet because he’s heard it his whole career

Without competition, they ain’t trying. Must be lonely at the top with nothing to strive for. At least with competition, there’s a reason to push limits. Especially when wwe lead is generations ahead of the competition

I think it's more that HHH recognizes that they benefit from a deeper talent pool. A new indy wrestler made a comment to a friend of mine at a show that they might do about two dozen shows and then go to WWE. This was during the era when there really wasn't a feeder system. Thing is, they were right and got signed to FCW and appeared on early black & gold. (No, I don't remember exactly who said it. Just that the friend told me about it when they made their TV debut. This was just before the indy awakening that produced most of the current rosters.)

😂😂😂 They're gonna buy TNA. That's what's happening here. Feel free to keep up that blind optimism tho.

Bro they were working with other promotions before and even after WCW was bought. So… what’re you guys talking about?

They didn't destroy competition tho Those companies imploded on there own

I'm sure that's a side benefit, but the main benefit is probably that this is a more cost-effective way for their younger talent to get more experience, with them cutting back on house shows.

Cody Rhodes parodied Triple H in AEW just a couple years ago, and they are on great terms now. I think it shows that Triple H doesn't let things get to him on a personal level, it's just business, and he understands that. Hell, CM Punk coming back to WWE pretty much cements that as fact that Triple H will do business and lay the personal issues aside. This is the best time in 20 years to be a wrestling fan.

EVEN THE MAN WITH THREE H'S COULD APPRECIATE THIS LEVEL OF TALENT BURY!

Doubt WWE would ever want to interact with Tony Khan, guy is a tool

Not really

That’s not what he said lmao. Idk how you can think pro wrestling is dying when there are more relevant promotions than in decades, more top stars, and better athletes than ever before.

​@@JustinWPruettPro wrestling IS dying. You all spent 20 years hounding the only person in it who ever had a lack of ego (Vince) and now that he's gone you demand this new era do things the way you've been clamouring for. He was strong enough to stand up to you. Triple H/The Rock/TKO have shown already they aren't. You're all in ecstacy because now wwe is keeping you in the loop about what they do, like a government that owes you information about its directives present and future. This, ahem, is a television show. It's a television show that you're built up in to some super political thing now the people fronting it are scared about not doing things your way so this television show is going to revolve forever more around keeping people happy like voters. Long term, you're not gonna get the thing from Vince that you didn't know he was so good at giving you. Because he presented a television show. He used to give you what you didn't think you wanted. You're not gonna get that now. You're gonna see everything coming. Wrestling fans will be happy getting kept in the loop. But the rest of the potential worldwide audience he always tried to draw in, which you gave him sh*t for? Yeah, they ain't coming here, the outside world doesn't care about wrestling and the only person in the wrestling biz has been demonised for trying to bring in "casual fans".

@@TheRealAhoy In what world does Vince not have an ego? For 20 years he thought he was the God of Wrestling. For a lot of that time, he gave what he thought fans wanted & shat on what the fans did want. In the post WCW era, 80% of the stuff that wrestlers did to get themselves over with fans was kiboshed because Vince didn't come up with it. Cesaro's swing. Barret giving 'Bad News'. Russev Day. There are countless other examples. What did we get instead? Lesnar having less than 100 matches in 10 years, nearly all of them garbage. Even if he brought in outsiders for the PPV, who stuck around to watch the rest of WWE? Nobody. By the way: has anyone cared that Lesnar hasn't been seen for a year now? Didn't think so. Then there was Roman Reigns being rammed down everyone's throat as the face of the company for 5 years before he took time off for because of leukemia & people finally started to like him. And who can forget rematch after rematch after rematch because either a) the entire show was ripped up at 4pm or b) the old man forgot that this match has already happened on TV 3 times in the last 5 weeks. Sometimes both. Real genius. As for WWE telling us everything that happens. 98% of people aren't paying attention to that. And most of the remainder only have a small sense of the behind the scenes stuff. Some even intentionally avoid areas of the IWC because they want to watch the show & enjoy it for what it is. And the quality of the shows are far better now than they were a year ago. And a year ago? They were far better then than they were a year before that.

@@dgthe3 The real world. Y'know, the one we all live in? Where he ran a company that is basically built around fame chasers, who all want to be number 1, just because they believe they should. He had to manage their egos, because they all get in to the medium of wrestling so they can chase the spotlight. You act like he was some horrible manager who was all about picking favourites and "holding others down". The people he picked where those he thought were best able to convey the kind of presence of top featured performers that he would highlight on live shows and television shows. You all think it's nepotism though, and he was ruling like he was one of the Targaryans from game of thrones. This. Is. A. Television. Show. The. People. In. It. Want. To. Be. On. Tv That's why he hires them. "He held Cesaro down" - what had Cesaro done since leaving? Had a few good matches. That's all he does! People who tune in to wrestling aren't looking for a good wrestling show, they're just looking for a good TV show period. If Cesaro was the amazing wrestler he was AND a magnetic presence when he isn't in the ring, man, he'd be gold. This is why Vince pushed Daniel Bryan. It's cute that you all think he was holding him down. HE fed you that story beat, straight away on NXT when DB debuted, he pushed the narrative that "he didn't fit in" but in doing so he gave him considerably more air time than anybody else, because DB wasn't just amazing in the ring, he was also great at promos too. That's why DB had Vince behind him right away, because he had it all. He certainly didn't judge him on size, even though you all think he only cares about a certain type. Vince loved Bryan, he gave him the money in the bank briefcase a year after he debuted and the world title 6 months later. That's a damn near super push. But you were all too busy moaning and complaining and writing your own versions of the riot act about him, so you didn't appreciate any of it, so they played you like a fiddle and rode that entire arc until he won at WrestleMania. They "let you" believe you made a difference, because you're so gullible that you hear through the grapevine that Vince didn't read internet stuff that you ignored all the people he hired to do it and compile reports about what people on the Internet were saying. And you know another thing. That invasion angle "he botched"... He didn't even want to do that. He went out of his way to do it for the fans, but it wasn't in his heart, not his idea. He didn't plan on buying wcw at all - he never thought about a brand rivalry. No interest, but he bought wcw because his wife convinced him the tape library was worth the purchase. He could have just left it there. What on earth did WWF have to prove to wcw? Lol. They absolutely wiped the floor with them. Putting wcw on par with his company, never mind anywhere near it, would damage his brand. He tried it anyway because fans wanted it, but he never had any interest in it. Reigns, by the way, was brilliant booking by him. He saw a guy who looked and carried himself like a star and had faith in him despite you all trying your best to sabotage him, because you all have hard-ons for being on the creative team. That mega push provided such backbone that the tribal Chief gimmick was an instant hit that remains a hit to this day. Just admit it, your whole problem here is that Vince created wwe in to a thing that you liked so much that you fantasied about running it yourself, but you live in your reality while he continued living in his and the bitterness just consumed you and still consumes you because he was a person who had a toy you didn't have. That guy did an amazing job of managing egos for all those years, but struggled more when the Internet came in to play, because you and your cohorts decided to turn fandom of this past time in to a wannabe revolution based on taking down an empire, and he was "the emperor" the way you saw it. And you've made the resulting generations of talent weak, Dolph Ziggler stagnated because he thought he was the next Shawn Michaels because you declared he was and he listened. Soooooo many talents began listening to you make-believe talent scouts who said they should be in the main event instead of the guy who would tell them how to be a main eventer. Cena is a main eventer because he did weird stuff like sit in all the seats of the arena before a show just so he could gauge how the person sitting in that particular seat would feel the ring from where they're sitting. Outside of the box stuff right there. Vince loved him, because he was thinking of how he could connect to the audience. Not like 99% of talent that says "I really really am trying". Cena actually proved he was trying! What you don't see during Cena promos, is him looking directly into the crowd and making select people in it actually feel like he was talking to them. That goes such a long way. Every few seconds somebodyin a seat will see Cena looking right at them and talking to them or winking. While people "try to get fans involved", he actually does. People bury Vince over choosing Jericho to beat AJ Styles at Mania 32? Why? Because he was the new guy? AJ was immediately pushed in to the title picture the next night and he impressed so much that he was pushed as a main event player from that point on. Jericho winning was far more important. For the few years before that he had welcome short runs, but he was little more than a guest star. He needed to be properly reheated. You're all so formulaic though about "who goes over" that you can't see why him going over was the right call. You automatically think the new guy/young guy should win. Pushing wrestlers isn't just about making stars, it's about maintaining/reheating established stars. Jericho won that match, and went on to have the best year of his career since 2010. You all loved his work in 2016. Praised it. If he didn't get a big match win at WrestleMania over a guy who was heading to the main event, he wouldn't have been reheated as a guy who could still hang and his partnership with KO wouldn't have been as solid as it was. It reestablished Jericho as a serious ring presence, a far cry from the guest star type who would show up every now and then to do something moderately appealing and then disappear without much drama. People like you expect people like me to write a thesis and it still isn't good enough for you, because you're a couch potato who for some reason thinks you're extremely active. It's why all of your points are so bitter about him, because he actually did the leg work in life and your dream was his reality. Which is what this is all really about. You're also deeply insecure about wrestling not being popular and you blame him for it as if it's not already a niche product that HE had made popular a few times through his promotion. You think wcw got popular because of the nwo? Nonsense, it got popular because Hulk Hogan turned to the dark side, the nwo just carried on that momentum. Wcw got popular because they did something abstract with the biggest wwe star of all time, it got buzz. Aka, his booking of Hogan made wcws job easy. He was inadvertently responsible for wcw getting popular. Bit him on the ar$e. You should stop being so hateful about how a niche television show is produced lol. It's bizarre, especially when you collectively "decide things".

I just want to see mjf in wwe

Shane doesn't work for WWE anymore, how would he accomplish that exactly?

That is also what I noticed over the past years. You never hear them mentioning other promotions, very rarely they do. But also WWE has been inventing their own terminology to separate themselves from the rest. Universe, Superstars and Sports Entertainment are the usual ones. WWE doesn’t care about the financial well-being of other companies they just want a greater pool of talent.

The WWF had already bought WCW months prior to the Invasion. Everyone that appeared on WWF was under WWF contract as WWF talent. TNA is not a part of TKO holdings.

Im gonna say it has to do with the toxic back and forth and including TK behavior not to mention how he handles his company. WWE seems to be working along with TNA yet I feel AEW would rather be competitive than work along each other

AMEN

They are having fun now and treating it like a real business that’s all

I AGREE. ALSO Jordynne is a great wrestler and beautiful

Nothing will ever be a threat to WWE. AEW included. WCW was the first and last threat.

VERY TRUE. WCW was the last threat to WWE.

Hoping they teach whoever's booking that mess to book a better show.

Hell no. Billy has great music. That's all. Nwa is the shits

billy frankly is terrible at this. He fucked up his TV deal with CW and hasn't recovered from it since.

​@@djchino774 NWA needs better ownership

​@@andregordon2599he needs to sell the NWA

Also no vince

Well duh. Nobody thinks that.
