Triple H Dismisses Online Criticism: “The Internet’s Not Real Life”

Published on

WWE boss says live crowd reactions—not social media—define success in wrestling


Summary
– Triple H says he doesn’t value online negativity or criticism

– He used Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso as proof that fan energy outweighs internet noise

– According to Triple H, real-life crowd reactions and merch sales tell the true story

Triple H is no stranger to online backlash, but he’s tuning it out these days. During an appearance on the Flagrant podcast, the WWE executive made it clear that internet opinions don’t carry the weight some think they do—especially compared to the response from live audiences.

“The internet’s not real life,” Triple H said bluntly. “The bitching and complaining on there is not real life. You’d think something is dead just reading comments online, but it’s not.”

He pointed to Cody Rhodes as a prime example. Despite critics claiming Rhodes’ babyface run had peaked, Triple H shut that narrative down. “Cody’s already jumped the shark? He’s dead as a babyface? Really? ‘Cause I’m in an arena with 10,000 to 15,000 people every night going nuts for him. He’s selling the most merchandise.”

Triple H extended the same argument to Jey Uso, another performer some fans have questioned. “Jey Uso’s terrible? What are they doing? Meanwhile, he’s getting big reactions, moving merch, and having moments that land with the crowd.”

He emphasized that while it’s easy to get caught up in social media takes, what matters most is how fans respond in the building. “The reaction of people live is what you can trust,” he said. “Not a few loud voices online.”

As the head of WWE Creative, Triple H is standing by his decisions and focusing on the momentum in the ring—not the noise outside of it.
