Triple H addresses criticism of WWE Unreal ‘lifting the curtain’

Triple H says people are just as fascinated with what goes on behind the scenes in wrestling as they are with what happens in the ring.

Speaking to WFAN, WWE’s Chief Content Officer said the people complaining that the WWE Unreal Netflix docuseries pulls back the curtain on the industry are already talking about what takes place backstage, anyway.

“People that are fans of our business are just as fascinated with the behind the scenes of what we do as they are seeing it take place and the entertainment that it provides in real time.“

He continued:

“The people that are complaining about us lifting that curtain and showing people behind the scenes are mostly the people that are already talking about it anyways. They’re on podcasts, they’re debating it with their friends, they’re already there talking about all of it.”

Triple H also echoed sentiment expressed by WWE Unreal director Chris Weaver recently that WWE is attempting to recreate the success sports franchises such as Formula 1 and Tour de France have had with other behind-the-scenes shows.

“I think much like Drive to Survive did for F1, I think this opens up the doors to a lot of people that aren’t necessarily fans, but that can watch this and appreciate all that goes into it and say, “Man, these people seem fascinating, they approach what they do with such an incredible passion, I want to see what the final product is that they put out.’ And hopefully that leads to them becoming WWE fans for life.”
