Vince McMahon was against Triple H Turning Heel - Essentially Sports

In a recent interview, WWE Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy & Development Paul Levesque (Triple H) spoke about the time Vince McMahon nearly denied him the opportunity for a career-defining moment.

The year was 2000 when the attitude era was at its peak. Stone Cold and The Rock were the stars of the show, and WWE was arguably at its peak. Legendary promos, iconic moments, epic matches, you really couldn’t have got enough of it.

Triple H somehow spotted a problem in this machine and wanted to turn heel! This was at the time when DX was at its best. He speaks about what led him up to come up with that idea, and the negative feedback he got about it.

“That was a very controversial time for me, within the WWE landscape. As the rock was becoming, as auditing was becoming these key good guys, I knew that without the bad guy in these scenarios, the good guys aren’t as good as they need to be,” explains Levesque.

Vince McMahon didn’t feel like the idea was right for Triple H

He then revealed what happened when he brought his idea to the desk of Vince McMahon.

“I went to Vince, I pitched this. ‘I wanna flip, I wanna turn on the group, I wanna turn heel and I wanna do this’ and they just didn’t get it,” says Levesque. “It caused a lot of strong conversations to happen with all of us about, you know, ‘God no, don’t do that yet. Not yet, ride this out until it’s done, man. We have so much more legs on this.”

However, Levesque was adamant and thought that the heel turn should be the way. The story played out and Triple H shocked the WWE Universe by betraying DX, causing Shane McMahon to retain his WWF title.

This became one of the best heel runs in WWE history, and there could not have been something more outrageous than “The Game” turning on his own friends. 

“One of the big lessons Vince taught me all throughout my career and even to this day is if you believe in what you’re doing, be willing to gamble on yourself,” concludes Levesque.

This instinct of Triple H proved the better deal, and WWE made a lot more out of Triple H’s heel run than it would’ve made by letting DX run its natural course. Besides, DX reunited later on down the line more than once, to give the crowd the electrifying performances that they love.
