Triple H is currently the COO of WWE and he is also a veteran in the world of professional wrestling, having competed in several great matches and countless memorable moments during his time as an active in-ring competitor in the company. Triple H also warned a WWE Superstar after a botch.
Former WWE Superstar Enzo Amore talked about Triple H firing many people after he took control of NXT as he recently spoke to Wrestle Slam.
“I just thought I was so green they didn’t wanna throw me into the fire,” Enzo recalled. “But they threw me right into the fire and I had to learn how to wrestle right in front of everyone’s eyes, it was unbelievable. I think when you look back on it, I came into a class with 26-30 people into the WWE. Walked through the door with a big class and Bill DeMott, brand new head coach. First recruitment class of Triple H. So Triple H, this is his first recruitment class, we’d held off on hires for a few months now, and the reason we were holding off on hires is because there is gonna be a transition of office. They are taking Dr. Tom, Tom Pritchard and they are bringing in Bill DeMott. When they bring in Bill DeMott he’s a drill sergeant.
They are bringing in this big class of recruitments and they are gonna fire a lot of talent because Triple H and Bill DeMott brand new staff. Triple H is now the head of talent development, we haven’t created a performance center and its old school Florida Championship Wrestling. I tried out in front of Dr. Tom, Dusty Rhodes, Steve Keirn, Norman Smiley and Joey Mercury. Dusty Rhodes was the guy that gave me the nod and got me hired. Now I walk in the door and Bill DeMott is the head coach and it’s straight drill work baby and it was weeding out the herd. And I understood why they brought in a coach like that to say if you are weak minded if you can’t take a sh*t sandwich and learn to taste it, you aren’t going to make it in this business. They fired a lot of people man. My name was always on the chopping block and was never a guarantee so I would show up at 5:30am waiting on the steps for Bill and I am pretty sure that was the reason he hated me most.”
