Paul Michael Levesque, or Triple H, is a famous name in WWE. He is the Chief Content Officer of the largest wrestling promotion in the world. With that, The Game has often received praise from the WWE Universe for his extraordinary bookings. However, now it seems he has been following in the footsteps of Vince McMahon.
Recently, Triple H appeared for an interview with Sports Illustrated. During that, The Game talked about what Vince McMahon taught him several years earlier. He said, “Vince taught me years ago, you put yourself in the seats and you’ll never go wrong, you’ve always got to maintain that perspective. Book what people want to feel and see. Writing this stuff is a feel”.
The Game added further, “You can analyze stories and how they come together, but how does it make you feel? If you can make people feel those stories, they’re going to be invested in the product.”.
“Vince [McMahon] taught me years ago, you put yourself in the seats & you’ll never go wrong, you’ve always got to maintain that perspective. I started out as a fan. Book what people want to feel & see.”

Thus, it seems the Stamford-based promotion immensely values its vast fanbase. However, it is worth mentioning that the fans always stay eager for an update about the largest wrestling promotion in the world and its extremely talented Superstars.
What is the current status of Vince McMahon in WWE?
Vince McMahon was previously the kingpin of WWE. He was the Chairman and CEO of the largest wrestling promotion in the world. However, he announced his retirement from the role in July 2022. This took the WWE Universe by surprise; however, what shocked the fans even more was that McMahon soon came out of his retirement.
McMahon made a comeback from his retirement in January 2023 and took up the role of executive chairman of the company. It was thereafter reported that Vince came back to initiate a sale of the company. With that, not too later, WWE was sold to Endeavor.
On top of that, Endeavor merged the UFC and WWE to create a publicly traded company named TKO Group Holdings. As soon as the new company was formed, McMahon took up the role of executive chairman in the company. As things were going smoothly, a piece of shocking news recently came into the spotlight.
