Triple H has been in the wrestling business for decades, and he knows how much things have changed, especially when it comes to kayfabe. In fact, he has now taken a shot at some old-school podcasters, mocking them for breaking kayfabe in the past and then complaining about how its gone.
While speaking to Peter Rosenberg, Triple H talked about how wrestling works best when people just watch and enjoy it as fans. He said that if someone is a fan, they dont need anything explained to them. But if someone isnt a fan, no explanation will really help. The only way for them to understand is to watch and decide if they like it on their own. Trying to explain it doesnt have the same effect.
Triple H said thats one of the challenges with wrestling today. He finds it funny when older wrestlers go on podcasts, share all the behind-the-scenes details from their era, and then complain that younger wrestlers dont keep the secrets of the business anymore. He pointed out the hypocrisy in giving away everything on a podcast while also being upset that things arent kept secret today.
The likes of The Undertaker have been quite vocal about kayfabe being dead, especially stating the same on his podcast. While many wrestling veterans miss the days when the business kept its secrets, Triple H is pointing out that they helped change that by being so open about what used to happen behind the scenes.
Triple Hs comments actually give a new take on the kayfabe debate. While many fans and legends miss the mystery of old-school wrestling, he points out that todays wrestlers arent the only ones to blame; it may actually be the older generation who revealed the secrets first.
