Notes from Triple H's Takeover: IYH Conference Call - Discusses the NWA women's show, fan's ruining shows by being critical, call-ups being misused an

[Necro]

[Notes taken from various Twitter accounts such as Fightful, F4W, Satin, Alba, and PWInsider]

• Triple H media call for #NXTTakeOver starting now. Says In Your House is becoming a fun old school flashback show for NXT
• HHH talks about how @XiaWWE didn't really know what WWE was before training at the PC and has grown so much
• Triple H calls @LAKnightWWE a stand out talent on the microphone who has been consistent. He notes @CGrimesWWE has always has the in-ring skills but has finally blossomed into a character. He compares Ted DiBiase and Grimes' in-ring work.
• Triple H says @notsam will be on the NXT Takeover pre-show, but does not apologize for it
• @TripleH confirms @notsam, @ArashMarkazi and @SInow's @JustinBarrasso for the pre-show. Says he wants members of the media to be a part of the pre-show panels. Says Justin has to not screw it up for everyone.
• Triple H tells Mike Johnson that there are "Jeremy Borash specials" across the board in NXT, and points out the Tian Sha origin story was a lot of Jeremy.
• HHH says Cameron Grimes doesn't drink or smoke, so they had to do his vignettes in one take.
• Regarding MSK, Triple H doesn’t like comparing talent to other stars of the past. He wants them to be themselves.
• @JasonPowell asks @TripleH if @WWEKarrionKross is being booked in a way that plays off criticisms of him. Hunter says they put bells & whistles on everyone. Says the term "work horse" was made up on the internet, "everyone works hard." Says if you don't work hard you're gone.
• As far as the other wrestlers criticizing Karrion Kross on Twitter, Triple H discussed it being a blending of reality and what they do. Sees no issues calling out the character’s weaknesses. Are they right or is it talk? That’s what makes it real.
• @WrestlingGary asks @TripleH if NXT women will appear for the @nwa and if there will be an all-women's show later this year. Hunter questions why there's "contractual status" when @MickieJames says she wants all the best women in the NWA.
• Triple H tells Gary Cassidy equality isn't "we have our own program" when he asks about an all women show. Says an all-male show with no women wouldn't be equality "If you want to wrestle the best women in the world, come to NXT. If you want to go elsewhere and SAY that, do it."
• Regarding some NXT talent not working on the main #WWE roster, Triple H says it’s like sports. Some talent work out to their potential, others don’t. There are varying circumstances.
• @TripleH talks about if NXT is developmental or a third brand now. Hunter says that 3 - 4 years into NXT a heavy knock was that talent didn't spend long there before moving on. Says the brand has changed to a place where some talent will be there for a long time.
• Triple H tells Dave Meltzer that not everyone works out in a certain place. There are a variety of factors that might lead to a talent working out -- schedule, coaches, performance. Triple H doesn't like the speculation of where people will go and says "just watch it."
• Asked about NXT talent getting called up and frustration about them being "misused," HHH says it happens all the time in the NFL when some players just don't work. Also brings up question of whether NXT is their own brand or a developmental.
• @TripleH tells the fans to just watch NXT and decide if you like it or don't. Tells them to watch it or don't. Says the fans ruin things half the time by being overly critical. "It's a marathon, not a sprint." Says he wants NXT to be long term.
• Triple H says Ted DiBiase is more than willing to mentor and talk to talent at #WWENXT tapings.
• @TripleH says when the Million Dollar Title was brought to NXT for the first time it got an awesome reaction from everyone at the PC. Says the title has not been redone, this is the "real deal". Puts over how well the "memorabilia show" did.
• Triple H tells @JonAlba on this NXT media call that a SummerSlam weekend Takeover is a work in progress right now.
• HHH won't go into detail on how/if the Million Dollar Championship will be defended in NXT
• Triple H confirms to Conor Casey a Fightful Select report from a few months back that for now, WWE CWC is NXT's home.
• HHH says for now, CWC is still the home of NXT. Looking forward to Full Sail re-opening and being hands-on again as it's their fountain of youth.
• End of call.

I agree but blaming fans always goes over well

I'd simply suggest not watching if you don't like the product as well, but a lot of times it's people that do like the product and just think it could be even better that get lumped with the pure negative nancies.

Kind of surprised they're not using Peter Rosenberg instead of Sam Roberts, he has an album to promote.....could use him for free.

Are people really that over critical of NXT? I don't see many shit talk it, other than the really REAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLY bad AEW fans, and that's just because they are way to over the top, I wouldn't care about them. Maybe I just read the wrong places.


Only show I see that most fans hate is Raw, and well Raw deserves the hate it gets most weeks tbh.

He was talking about a variety of things like fans criticizing main roster callups after a week before anything had even really been started or even criticizing them before the call up happens lol not just specifically NXT criticisms.

But yeah no one really criticizes NXT all that much but I think that's mostly bc they're back to the small nitch that watches and enjoys instead of having a lot of people watching to complain like you do with more popular shows lol

Ahhh, well... sometimes it pretty warrant. The whole "it's a marathon" thing is dumb also. cause a lot of the ones I seen fans complain about, are ones who been called up for months, or years....how fucking long is your marathon? I can agree about fans who do it before or just right after a call up, but most of the ones are for people who's been on the Main Roster long enough that I think it's fair to call out.

 

[Deezy]

People thinking performers from a show that can't get close to a million viewers should be headlining and beating stars who been pulling the cart while they trained and lived easy in Florida

I think the it's a marathon comment was more about how fans get mad when stories aren't told exactly as they want them to be as soon as they want them to be lol think people saying Hangman Page should have beat Kenny already to put it in an AEW perspective

If that is what he meant, I can agree then. I love long term stories, and I don't mind waiting for a pay off if it's done right.

Hard to tell without listening myself, the sheets spin these calls pretty hard one way or another usually lol guarantee some will run wild with his comments here but the real stuff was when he was asked about the NWA women's PPV, probs won't be talked about as much as him "mad about fans complaining" though

Too late

Too late

Oh idc about him saying "the best women are in WWE" I disagree but he should still say that. And any women's Wrestler that's any good should equally disagree or I'd lose respect

The wtf part was when he said "I believe in true equality, we wouldn't do an all men's PPV" but those are the Saudi shows (well besides the one) :
