We all know the story, Chris Kreski was the head writer from November of 1999-November of 2000, he used the same exact Russo formula & format while continuing Russo’s story & character universe but with more emphasis on story and less in ring focus with storyboards to keep track of the stories and characters.
Now by July of 2000 the Triple H/Stephanie on screen relationship had no where further to go.
The Stephanie character sided with Triple H to betray her dad Mr.McMahon and gain corporate power, while the Triple H character married to bosses daughter to gain power and retain the WWF title.
At Wrestlemania 2000 Stephanie reunited with her dad, then at King of the ring her dad cost Triple H the title and took him out of the title picture and power with Mick Foley his arch enemy becoming the Comissioner with McMahon going away.
There was no point as they had no use for each other, Stephanie had the power due to her dad while Triple H was out of the title picture because of it.
Now in December of 1999 Chris Kreski storyboarded a relationship brewing between Stephanie & Kurt Angle that got heated up in the summer of 2000 with Triple H then feuding with Kurt Angle.
In the story they made it clear that she wanted Angle over Triple H and cheated on Triple H with Kurt Angle when she and Kurt Angle disappeared after Summerslam 2000. The Rock vs Triple H/Kurt Angle/Stephanie McMahon love triangle was the hottest storyline of the summer and 2nd hottest storyline after Rock vs McMahon-Helmsley regime from earlier in the year
At the same time Chyna and Eddie Guerrero were breaking up over the intercontinental championship and Eddie’s jealousy of Triple H and Chyna & her playboy shoot. With both stories intertwining, with Eddie catching Chyna with Triple H and getting hoseg
At Unforgiven 2000 Kurt Angle was to beat Triple H with Stephanie betraying Triple H for Kurt Angle, then Kurt dating Stephanie would feud with Triple H and then win the WWF title from Rock at No Mercy 2000.
While the next night Chyna & Eddie would break up with Eddie cheating on Chyna.
It was clear that Triple H and Chyna were going to be reunited on screen, while Kurt and Stephanie became an on screen couple.
Instead that storyline was denied by Triple H for not being “believable” despite the onscreen chemistry between Stephanie and Kurt being better than Triple H & Stephanie.
Chris Kreski was then demoted in creative team and Stephanie McMahon became head of creative in November of 2000.
That same month Triple H turned heel, while Chyna was demoted to women’s division despite there being no problem with the guys wrestling and doing jobs for her.
It is therefore by the evidence my theory that Triple H and Stephanie who were having an affair behind Chyna’s back as Triple H & Chyna were a couple in real life. Politicized against Chris Kreski and demoted him because he was going to end Triple H and Stephanie’s on screen relationship and likely reunite Triple H and Chyna on screen.
Triple H and Stephanie on screen relationship ran its course and didn’t do anything significant afterward other than Austin stunning Stephanie in February of 2001. They ended up breaking it up anyways when Triple H returned from injury.
Stephanie becoming head of creative started a 20 plus year ratings decline, which worsened with the Attitude era ending with the Brand Split and the further creative downfall with Chris Kreski leaving in June 2002. Also driving Chyna out of the WWF for simply discovering the affair out of jealousy of their relationship(Which Stephanie admitted on Howard Stern when she said she couldn’t deal with Triple H sleeping with her and breaking things off with him for some time)
R.I.P. Chris Kreski, you along with Vince Russo were the best wrestling writers.... you both were the absolute best for the WWF/WWE.
R.I.P. Joanie Laurer aka Chyna, the most popular women’s wrestler of all time, she didn’t deserve the politics either.
