Triple H Shares Booking Advice He Received From Vince McMahon
Ahead of Saturdayβs WWE Survivor Series, Triple H spoke with Sports Illustrated for a new interview where he discussed a wide range of topics including advice from Vince McMahon about booking wrestling. Here are the highlights:Β
Advice from Vince McMahon regarding booking:Β
βVince taught me years ago, you put yourself in the seats and youβll never go wrong,β said Levesque. βYouβve always got to maintain that perspective. I started out as a fan. Book what people want to feel and see.β
His goal as a booker:Β
βWriting this stuff is a feel,β said Levesque. βYou can analyze stories and how they come together, but how does it make you feel? If you can make people feel those stories, theyβre going to be invested in the product. Thatβs how we try to approach, find that ultimate emotional place for the talent and the characters and the stories theyβre in.β
Importance of giving back to the fans:Β
βWe donβt take our fan base for granted,β said Levesque. βAnd the way our talent operates is different from other generations. They want to go out there and put on the best possible show they can. A lot of these kids are already investedβthey grew up wanting to do this. And if they didnβt, they fell in love with it by learning from people who grew up wanting to be in this business, and thatβs how they learned the respect for it. To me, thatβs what makes you successful. That connection with our fan base, thatβs a big part of our core.β
