This was Triple H’s response to the Vince question, and this was Cody Rhodes’.
Triple H just fumbled it by giving a non-answer that isn’t even a good one, as either no comment or “I can’t comment at legal matters at this time” would’ve at least shown some sort of seriousness towards the allegations, but straight up saying he put his head in the sand’s pretty shit, in my opinion anyway. Thought the PPV was amazing, but the press conference just left a sour taste. Put Reddit posts instead of time stamps because I found the clips first, but wanted to put the full press conference just in case anyone wanted to see it for themselves.
I feel at some point it will all blow over. Thoughts on the rumble? I was Rock would get involved in championship match. Nice to see Jordynne Grace in Rumble and finally see Cargill. I assumed Cody or Punk would win.
I loved the crossovers, especially since they’ll be happening more since Vince is no longer running the company, but Grace and Cargill were great debuts, with Cargill single-handedly throwing Nia Jax over the ropes compared to last year. And I loved Cody winning the Men’s Rumble, I think it sets up for a lot of interesting storylines for both him and Punk leading into ‘Mania.
I think the reason this won’t blow over any time soon because this isn’t Vince’s first rodeo, and there’s too many people who’ve known nonsense about him. In fact, the hush money he was using WWE funds to pay off was the money for Grant, allegedly.
That, and the fact that Vince is too ingrained in wrestling lore, in the company, the storylines that brought WWE to the place it is now literally had Vince all over them, those being the Screwjob and the existence of Steve Austin. If you look at 5 seconds of Attitude Era content, you’ll see Vince in the video, so scrubbing Vince from the record like they did to Benoit is almost impossible.
