On The Rock and Triple H rivalry: “From my time there and my time with The Rock, I know for a fact that he does not get along with Triple H. That does not go away. They’ve always been butting heads for years and years for a lot of different reasons.”
On whether there is a power struggle with WWE: “The reason I said on my show there’s a big power struggle—well, first of all, I’ve talked to two people close to the situation… I can’t tell you who they are, but I’ve got really good intel.”
Whether Paul Levesque’s time leading WWE creatively is on borrowed time: “We predicted that within 18 months, Triple H will not be running WWE anymore. I actually feel kind of bad for him because I’ve always really, really liked him.”
On Triple H upstaging Steve Austin and Bret Hart at WrestleMania: “You’re going to disrespect Bret Hart and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and walk them out with everybody else to give a wave to the crowd, and you get your own water music entrance right next to those guys?”
Other topics include breaking into the business, the BTT brand, The Rock, Triple H, WWE, WWF, Vince McMahon, Vince Russo, ESPN, PFL, and more.
I hate that other sites are reporting Coachman’s comments as facts, that Triple H will be ousted, as opposed to his opinion.
I’m glad Vince is gone, but this is just one example why you never sell your family business.
Omg who cares what Coachman says? It’s like quoting Russo
And yet… you clicked, read and commented.
Will is spot on when he compared Coachman to Russo. Neither of them really understand the workings of the business, and now Coachman is making things up. Oh sure – when the Rock first arrived he and Trips didn’t get along. But that was 19 effing 96! I am willing to lay odds on it – his so called intel comes from people who are playing with him and he’s too dumb to know it. If there really was a problem, the Rock would have pushed to get Trips out the instant he got on the TKO board. But guess what? He didn’t. End of story.
