Triple H Had WWE Staff Watch ALL IN And NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13
The Game keeps a keen eye on the wider world of pro wrestling
WWE NXT head Triple H allegedly had WWE staff watch ALL IN and Wrestle Kingdom 13, likely to help him in scouting talent/contract negotiations.
The claims were made by former WWE Network staffer Marie Shadows, who said to the Perched on the Top Rope podcast:
“I remember coming back from lunch early and I got to sit in the room just to wait until everyone else comes back before we start working again, and again, we have boss number one, we have supervisors and they’re talking about ALL IN and what Triple H wants. Triple H actually wanted them to log ALL IN to watch it and also they were talking about Wrestle Kingdom [13]. I keep forgetting the number Wrestle Kingdom that was happening that year in 2018, but it was basically the one that headlined with Kenny Omega versus [Hiroshi] Tanahashi at the end of it so I’m there sitting and I’m like, ‘Am I supposed to be here? Is this for me to hear? I don’t know man. I don’t know the protocol’ and you know, my co-worker was like, ‘You know, just stay here. It’s fine.’
"So I’m listening in on all this stuff where they were like, ‘Yeah, Triple H wants us to watch ALL IN and to log in and also to watch Wrestle Kingdom’ and then they had other conflicting time frames and stuff like that so, you know, if anyone ever wondered why in The Young Bucks’ book, they were a little bit surprised when Triple H called them again and they were like, ‘Hey, we’re gonna up the money,’ it’s because Triple H watches everything. Triple H has his eye on everything across pro wrestling so that was sort of cool to be in that as a fly on the wall to hear the behind-the-scenes stuff of what happens in the other building and what Triple H does and stuff like that.”
