On a recent edition of the “Under The Ring” podcast, former WWE producer Gerald Brisco discussed Triple H’s success in WWE, his rise to power in the billion-dollar promotion, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On immediately knowing Triple H would be a WWE lifer: “I saw a guy who is dedicated to the business, a guy who is dedicated to the history of this business. Hell, he was broken in by Killer Kowalski, one of the meanest, toughest SOBs and one of the toughest businessmen that ever laced up a pair of boots and you didn’t cross Killer Kowalski… But I always knew he would be a guy like Pat Patterson or Gerald Brisco.”
On Triple H becoming a leader backstage early on: Paul immediately became that leader, even though he wasn’t a top guy at the time, even though he had a f**king gimmick as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, he grew with the gimmick.”
On his conversations with Funk about the rivalry: “We got into several conversations about it, and Terry always said the way he saw it, it was four athletic guys who had no ego, who had confidence in their partners, who had confidence in their opponents.”
On how the feud played out: “You also had two Texans and you had two Oklahomans, and you had two cowboys and you had two Indians. Everything kind of just slipped into place and in that angle and we gave people what they wanted to see.”
