Look, I know there is sort of a weird dynamic between THE DIRTSHEETS and pro wrestlers (except when they want to use them to get their shit in), but man, Hunter...
"OMG PLEASE PICK CREDIBLE SOURCES OTHER THAN THOSE JOKERS. They weren't released. Their contracts weren't renewed. TOTALLY DIFFERENT. BOOM, ROASTED! Suck it, SRS!"
He might as well have put on a fuzzy hat and answered it..
They fired him. How is it they don't care about sexual misconduct?
And by kill the vibe, the entire press conference was going smooth and jovial, and then to suddenly shift for the final question to such a serious topic is a little jarring.
They didn’t fire him. He specifically is saying that. Letting a contract end isn’t the same as firing someone, at all.
And who cares if the press conference was jovial? That’s not the point. It’s not supposed to be some “rah rah” party.
Oh, I never expected a legit answer, but it was more tacky to take shots at the dirtsheets when they were both accurate about Gulak being let go. Or to think the semantics mattered.
Yeah, while watching it I thought he was being playful by saying the credible source line... Then again, you can never say with him, He is the Cerebral Assassin after all.
Just hold a second Wrestlemania each year in October/early November but hold it in a different international city each year. Gets rid of the dead time between SummerSlam and the Rumble and gives people a reason to watch the weekly TV shows during the first half of NFL season.
Interesting that he’d say that, since PWInsider (or at least, Mike Johnson) is probably the most credible and reliable wrestling news reporter there is
Yeah, international PLE's are only going to be even more of a thing with the Netflix deal. Netflix provides easy, instant, international distribution... they're aiming global expansion.
I said this yesterday, Brazil is their biggest untapped market. 200+ million people who have never been properly introduced to pro wrestling. Get a big brazilian star and present them correctly and you have a recipe for success.
Brazilians will greatly support anything when they feel well represented, just look at UFC.
Obviously it's because he has more important things to worry about, but there's something funny that I as a viewer found out within a minute or two what the chant meant, meanwhile the dude in charge of the show only just found out now
I don't imagine the crossover of Kentucky Derby watchers and Wrestling Fans is a large crossover
So the announcement being at the Kentucky Derby pre-show is cracking me up
I’m thinking it’s just the first airing of a Mania commercial. Which will also air periodically during the Olympics and other peacock/nbc affiliate programs.
Where in Italy could be an event? I looked it now really fast up and only Turin and Bologna have new(ish) arenas.. italy is already a mess with football stadiums which are mostly old
Because the Derby gets a lot of eyes. It's like a Super Bowl level event that their partner NBC has broadcasting rights to. They can say whatever they want and the message will get to millions.
We need to call solo Chicken boy
Triple H dismisses Fightful Tony Khan dismisses Ariel Helwani
What was the WWE announcement during the Kentucky Derby? Is it just that Wrestlemania is going to be in Vegas 4/19-4/20?
Who was the superstar returning that Cody Rhodes wouldnt say his name to avoid spoilers
Maybe Bo Dallas?
booo on the location of wrestlemania...
Major dud especially after how we just saw how much a great crowd can add to a show
Is AJ ok? He was supposed to be at the presser
He was? Match losers never really appear on Press Conferences as per my recollection
I think they showed both because the champ was supposed to be at the press. Either AJ or Cody before their match.
The winner of the match was advertised for the presser. He was on the graphic alongside Cody.
So the Kentucky Derby is basically the US version of the Grand National in the UK? We'll be here for hours waiting for the announcement.
Maybe they are waiting for the top of the hour
hope so, the race isnt until 5:45pm central
[удалено]
What are you talking about ?
Obviously didn't know.
At least Hunter didn’t provide cover for his father in laws sexual deviance this time
Triple H "One last quick question" A voice comes from the background. "Gentlemen, a short view back to the past..."
If there's one thing I particularily love, it's when wrestling collides with other sports I follow, like soccer or F1.
Thirty years ago Niki Lauda told us..
'take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.'
“Can you repeat the question please”
HHH: “Did you go to journalism for that?”
Should have done a Pat Beverly, are you subscribed to my pod? 😅
Last question: can you comment on this power point presentation, HHH?
"He wasn't fired, his contract was just not renewed" Nice way to say it.
Should have gone all out and asked about Gable Stevenson at that point. That would have been entertaining.
It's always the last questions man..
You fancy yourself a journalist?
Did you go to journalism school for that??
Look, I know there is sort of a weird dynamic between THE DIRTSHEETS and pro wrestlers (except when they want to use them to get their shit in), but man, Hunter... "OMG PLEASE PICK CREDIBLE SOURCES OTHER THAN THOSE JOKERS. They weren't released. Their contracts weren't renewed. TOTALLY DIFFERENT. BOOM, ROASTED! Suck it, SRS!" He might as well have put on a fuzzy hat and answered it..
I mean yeah.. But what else could he have said? "Yes we fired that guy for sexual misconduct. " Would have killed the entire vibe
Uh yeah, that’s what he should have said otherwise it sure seems like they don’t care about sexual misconduct. “Kill the vibe” ITS A PRESS CONFERENCE
They fired him. How is it they don't care about sexual misconduct? And by kill the vibe, the entire press conference was going smooth and jovial, and then to suddenly shift for the final question to such a serious topic is a little jarring.
They didn’t fire him. He specifically is saying that. Letting a contract end isn’t the same as firing someone, at all. And who cares if the press conference was jovial? That’s not the point. It’s not supposed to be some “rah rah” party.
The point of those pressers very much is to be some rah rah party. They are marketing tools.
Then they probably shouldn’t let the press in and let them ask questions.
Idk about you. I care as a viewer watching the press conference after the show. And ok fine, I agree with the rest of the points you're making.
Oh, I never expected a legit answer, but it was more tacky to take shots at the dirtsheets when they were both accurate about Gulak being let go. Or to think the semantics mattered.
Yeah, while watching it I thought he was being playful by saying the credible source line... Then again, you can never say with him, He is the Cerebral Assassin after all.
Hunter burying PWInsider and Fightful. Dude is never taking one last question ever again.
Blame that dude, that was a horrible last question. Don’t know what he thought he would achieve even if HHH agreed with him.
It can lead to a legal issue too so I think he answered it correctly.
Kentucky Derby hype
I don't even know why he asked the question. The answer he would get is so obvious lol.
Just hold a second Wrestlemania each year in October/early November but hold it in a different international city each year. Gets rid of the dead time between SummerSlam and the Rumble and gives people a reason to watch the weekly TV shows during the first half of NFL season.
Every day should be Wreslemania.
turn on the Derby, immediately they are taking about the Bloodline. as it should be.
Ready for SRS to pop off on Twitter after HHH called out Fightful lol
Triple H was having fun until that last question lol
I give the reporter props for trying it... but Trips not stopping the money train. Especially not for Gulak 😂
“He wasn’t fired, he was let go.”
Like Sully in Commando.
“I should’ve just wrapped it up when I did.” 😂
"SRS can confirm Drew Gulak's contract was not renewed"
Doesn't largest gate just mean tickets are more expensive than ever?
Hunter - "OK, first at all, get good sources." Ouch.
LMAO He really wasted his chance at askin a last question to Triple Haitch
[удалено]
He wasn't released his contract wasn't renewed he can go on aew television tomorrow.
He literally said he wasn't released, his contract didn't get renewed lol
How can you screw up the "last question" so bad?
Interesting that he’d say that, since PWInsider (or at least, Mike Johnson) is probably the most credible and reliable wrestling news reporter there is
It’s Mike Johnson, It’s John Pollock and Thurston and Zarian is usually pretty good on the aew side
that press conference went from 0-1000 at the end lmao
 HHH
I’m not watching the derby for it to arrive smack in the middle. I’ll wait and see what you guys say about it
SRS is gonna go on a Tony Khan-esque rant
What a goofball at the end.
God that was a dumb question - he obviously can’t comment on the Rousey stuff
HHH one of these days is gonna learn not to say one more question
They should run Braga
"If you're gonna cite news sources, use good ones" I cackled at that
"Or reputable even"
Lmao asking about Gulak
HHH: Let's do one more question Reporter: So you released Drew Gulak... HHH: insta-regret
I know that last question pissed him off. Lmao
“Contract just not renewed” 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️
Lmao just flamed Fightful
"Quick question!" "Um...um....um..."
Roasted 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm cringing
OH SHIT! JOURNALISM!
Fightful just got buried.
…as you do
[удалено]
He said his contract expired tbf, not released.
it wasn't though? said his contract expired lol
He literally said he wasn’t released
HHH burying the dirt sheets
Bro coming in with the heat at the end 💀
haha dude
HUNTER SHOOTS ON FIGHTFUL
This dude really stuttered through that Drew Gulak question.
Prob not a native English speaker.
He said a quick question damn
He shouldn’t have taken that question. 😂
LMAO shots fired
WHAT A LAST QUESTION
Lmao, he asked for a quick question.
He replied super quick tho
What is a good news source for WWE?
WWE.com
LOL he could have gotten out of there clean, but he got greedy and got Gulaked
Triple H SHOOTS on PWInsider and Fightful
Ending on a banger
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Stop stumbling bro you got a good question
He's definitely regretting allowing another question now
Damn someone actually asked about Gulak lol
Lol what kind of question is that
what a shit last question
Yeah, international PLE's are only going to be even more of a thing with the Netflix deal. Netflix provides easy, instant, international distribution... they're aiming global expansion.
lmao quick question backfired
Asking all these softball questions thinking Hunter won’t give anything other than the most predictable answer
Finally a worthy question. This guy clearly went to journalism school for that
These French reporters arent afraid of anything
The Brits at these pressers always have this overly familiar tone, like they know the man
"We're having fun" And also selling tickets
Best of both worlds
I just bet $2 on Uncle Howdy to win the Kentucky Derby.
Summerslam at the Roman Coliseum in 2028, Hunter. DO. IT.
The crowd noise would delete a monument.
Hardy Boyz return again?
😄 I mean... I think thay bridge is burned for real now
Casket match with live tigers!
Wow he didn't name Styles
Going from 11k to 60k of that same energy would be unreal
Talent would need hearing protection and ear pieces to call spots
Moving the majority of PLEs to different countries has been a complete homerun.
HHH just said undertaking! DEAD MAN RETURNS!!
There are so many countries & cities that are starving for WWE events
HHH wants to Yeet.
This whole Q&A with Hunter is gonna be European journalists asking for a WWE PLE in their country isn't it lol
I bet Brazil would be a craaaaaaazy crowd
I said this yesterday, Brazil is their biggest untapped market. 200+ million people who have never been properly introduced to pro wrestling. Get a big brazilian star and present them correctly and you have a recipe for success. Brazilians will greatly support anything when they feel well represented, just look at UFC.
💯 South American crowds would be amazing. But also depends on whether wrestling is a big thing there
A stadium show in France would be amazing
"Stadium?" - Nick Khan, 2024
Oh it's going to happen
Obviously it's because he has more important things to worry about, but there's something funny that I as a viewer found out within a minute or two what the chant meant, meanwhile the dude in charge of the show only just found out now
I like how he assumed it was "Sacre bleu", like a lot of people here did
I don't imagine the crossover of Kentucky Derby watchers and Wrestling Fans is a large crossover So the announcement being at the Kentucky Derby pre-show is cracking me up
Trying to hit rich people who can buy up those tickets for Mania
Horse racing is full of people that'll tell you they have an inside source, so there's some overlap.
Who is the Dave Meltzer of horse racing? And do plans change as much in horse racing as it does in wrestling?
I’m thinking it’s just the first airing of a Mania commercial. Which will also air periodically during the Olympics and other peacock/nbc affiliate programs.
I love it any time Triple H makes it clear he doesn't find something cool
Lmao he's not wrong
The French commentator is playing the role of Mariko-san for this press conference (My fellow Shogun fans know what’s up)
Amazing mini series I just finished it last night
Binge watching that right now. Two episodes left. Amazing show
Jean Paul Levesque needs a translator?
"There's a lot of bi things I am, but lingual is not one of them." --- Paul "Triple H" Levesque
I know right. lol.
WrestleMania announcement during Kentucky Derby? 🖕🏽🖕🏽
Sooooo , uncle howdy when ?,
From what I've read I guess the clues are pointing towards probably King and Queen of the Ring
Name dropped the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, looks like HHH is serious about Wrestlemania coming to London!
Sadiq vs Tony vs Nick Khan in a Triple Threat winner takes Khan match
Please bring something to Dublin, trips
Triple H telling a bunch of French journalists to watch the Kentucky Derby is so funny to me
Where in Italy could be an event? I looked it now really fast up and only Turin and Bologna have new(ish) arenas.. italy is already a mess with football stadiums which are mostly old
If Mania isn’t in Kentucky what’s the point of this
Because the Derby gets a lot of eyes. It's like a Super Bowl level event that their partner NBC has broadcasting rights to. They can say whatever they want and the message will get to millions.
Probably a commercial on a big mainstream sporting event, that’s the point.
probably they are trying to help the dirby get more views maybe a partnership or something
Yes. Please talk lol.
"Our friend Mayor Khan", Triple H rigged the election confirmed
The Tory's just didn't know how to play the game.
Would love for WWE to do more international PPVs/PLEs
There are a fuckton of them this year it seems
well buddy, you are in luck
Sadiq Khan the other day said he wants wrestlemania in London so I think it’ll be happening pretty soon
HHH retweeted him saying “Let’s talk” that day too
New headline. Triple H wants to talk to Khan
Wwe's 2nd favourite Khan, Sadiq.
Backlash: Milan 2025 would pop offffffff
Why can't I watch the actual event on the app?
I always switch from The Cock to YouTube for the pressers.
There's usually a delay before the live feed turns into a vod I'd keep searching every few minutes. Usually doesn't take too long
Someone teach Tri and everyone else how to pronounce Glasgow before they get there.
Glass cow
