This guy, 21 years of age, is doing the exact job he should as a journalist. Bravo.
Journalism is supposed to be adversarial to establishment power rather than an ally.
Guy is 21, been covering wrestling since 18??? Good for him. Keep it up Lucas.
Poor guy! He just was trying to do his job. You can see this really impacted him

@@nolankuffner3573well said I agree ☝️
Someone should maybe ask em about the Ashley Masaro stuff.... cos I'm sure HHH and Steph were in the loop. The fact that situation was brushed under the rug is criminal..... literally.
Wwe and HHH don't want press to challenge them and ask ifficult questions! It was a legitimate question! They need to publically apologise not just quietly send gifts and notes! Hoping that's enough!
Yup. Or just don't do press conferences. I'm sure they only started doing them cos AEW does, but there's a huge difference. The AEW ones are much more relaxed and genuine. There's no other way this question was gonna get asked so it was fair.the response from HHH was bs, and Fightful are by far the very most credible wrestling source. At the end of the day, it's their business so they take their credibility seriously.
Wwe clearly want their press conferences to be worked as well.
WWE should run press scrums AEW-style: avoid answering _any_ questions, don’t even begin to address anything, just gaslight, lie, bloviate.
@@Phafanapolis did I mention AEW anywhere??
@Phafanapolis AEW press conferences is how it should be done. WWE 1s are just a wasted of time and soul-dead.
Aew did the press conference first
I'm sure if they got asked about why they do it tho (which is AEW) that they'd act oblivious...OR tell us how they invented the press conference. I personally like listening to TK (i genuinely love his overall booking, too) and i don't mind if he waffles on for hours, least he's a genuine guy who does this for the fans. The WWE conferences are sanitized af in general and they're just meh..... and i still can't watch the product... #1 it bores me to death. I like exciting creative wrestling considering it's the most important part, surprisingly enough. #2 i don't support bs promotions that don't wanna be pro wrestling yet seek to destroy anythin that is. They're just an awful company. Got love for the wrestlers tho and it's great that fans who are into the WWE product are getting a much better version.... again, that wouldn't be happening if it were not for the real pro wrestling world, which is waaaaaay better.
Well Triple H confirmed he'd been released, so those that reported it were credible... guy asked a fair question about why. We need more of that!
Lame 😒
Vince is gone and that place still operates like a cult. I'll never give HHH his flowers. I see right through him.
Same bro 👍
I feel so bad for this European gentleman doing his job and getting harassed for it, WWE are so cringe and triple h are so childish for this behavior towards this man, he must have been so surprised by this treatment as this stuff doesn’t happen in Europe.
I don’t feel bad at all it was a dumb question.
@@johnfury316It wasn't a dumb question at all. He was there as a journalist not a fan. He asked a legit question. He didn't go there to be a kiss ass to Hunter.
@@motownrick3203 it was a dumb question you could’ve asked HHH anything and you ask about Drew Gulak.
@@johnfury316 No it wasn't dumb question. It's about the culture of the company, especially in the wake of the whole Vince scandal. It doesn't matter if it's a main eventer or lower level guy like Gulak. If Trips can't handle tough questions, then he should use plants or just not do them at all
@@motownrick3203 who cares it was a dumb question, Vince is gone and the WWE is on a roll coming off one of the greatest Mania’s ever.
HHH also knows full well that his wife was a contributing factor to female wrestlers safety being at risk.
What evidence of that do you have? That is a very serious accusation.
@@5IvanDrago5 I'm not going to hold your hand on Google. Look up Stephanie's involvement with Ashley Massaro. Peace and love.
@@5IvanDrago5 This very channel even covers it.

(Starts slow clap)
Good question, a better one would have been: "Your company seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?"
Why is this even being talked about? This isn’t even that big of a topic.
It’s a story nobody cares about except for a few stragglers with egos. Triple H is untrained and unequipped to handle non-softballs. His defense mechanism is to discredit / be aggressive. There are people at these press conferences who are literally acting like fans and half of the answers are kayfabe. If you don’t know what to expect with these things nowadays, I don’t know what to tell you. The way this story has been stretched for content is ridiculous. It’s an ego massage. WWE apologized to those they remotely care about and ignored the rest. These pressers mean zilch and all of this is a big waste of time
You could say that about 90% of wrestling news ... it's still interesting to know how these things are conducted and how a corporation responds to a reasonable non kayfabe question
Great question. It's because Thurston and WrestleNomics are paid by Tony Khan and AEW to pick on everything WWE does, while giving AEW a break on everything.
@@GrayRedRoom seems that way.
@@GrayRedRoommate, underhanded tactics like that is a WWE thing. And this ain't even about AEW, itz about HHH and the indentity-crisis that is WWE.
I love HHH response this guy wasted his one question on Drew gulak of all things.
Exactly what I thought. This is a non-story, but people need to create things to overreact about.
You're missing the big picture, dawg.
