Vince McMahon Threatened To Fire Triple H Over DX Segments

Triple H was given the role as the top person in charge of WWE Creative after Vince McMahon stepped down from his role as WWE Chairman. This was the best thing that could have happened for WWE according to fans.

Before all this, Triple H made a career out of being one of the best pro wrestlers in the game. This included his multiple stints as part of the infamous D-Generation X stable.

While speaking with SPORTbible, Triple H revealed that the USA Network was unhappy with the explicit nature of DX segments on WWE Raw. It was so bad that Vince McMahon threatened to fire him every week.

“We said ‘let us take the letter and use it on TV.’ (Vince McMahon) was like ‘in what way? I said ‘we will make that into a comedy routine.’

“He was like ‘alright, make sure its funny,’ but he’s got a pretty warped sense of what’s funny so it’s alright. We did like a presidential podium and the three of us got up there, as if Shawn (Michaels) was President and we were standing behind him.

“We went through the list of words and they beeped the words we weren’t allowed to say. We said, ‘this is direct from USA, we in D-Generation X apologise for our attitudes, we will no longer say the words…’ and we went through the list.

“The next day we got a letter from USA that said ‘Congratulations on the ratings last night, what DX did with our letter was hilarious. Congratulations on the success, here’s to many more years.’”

Triple H also has some huge surprises planned for fans. There are clearly a lot of changes taking place in the company right now, and fans are just glad Triple H has taken the reins now.
