Triple H is keeping a close eye on how fans around the world are reacting to WWE broadcasts.
While fans in arenas and stadiums have their own opinion of how the show is playing out and let it be known with their response one way or the other, those on social media will also voice their praise or concerns over what they are seeing. While previous regimes could not care less what the online fans say, a new report has indicated another sign that the Triple H Era is much different to what has been seen previously.
Speaking in a Q and A on PWInsider, Mike Johnson was asked if Paul Levesque had become “the new Vince McMahon” and had chosen his favourites while not featuring other stars, using the absence of Zelina Vega and the recent exits of Bobby Lashley and MVP as examples.
Johnson responded that he would not compare Levesque to McMahon and added that the Chief Content Officer is frequently seen checking social media while the show is being broadcast live:
I would like to think Paul Levesque is a lot more receptive and understanding of what the audience wants and I do believe (from what I understand) that he pays very close attention to what the audience wants not just live but also based on social media feedback. I’ve been told there are many times where he is scrolling through Twitter from the Gorilla Position at the broadcasts and paying very close attention to what the audience is doing and reacting to as the shows are going on the air.
WWE Star Praises Major Triple H Change
Having implemented multiple alterations to the way things are run behind the scenes, many have publicly praised Levesque for the backstage environment being less chaotic in general compared to previous eras where shows were being rewritten on extremely short notice. Additionally, talent being offered days off when requested is a much more common occurrence, something that WWE star Jade Cargill has been very grateful for.
In a recent interview, Triple H elaborated on the issues faced with writing WWE TV for all ages.
