Triple H Comments on Selection Process for WWE’s Hall of Fame

A recent episode of the Pardon My Take podcast had Triple H as the guest. One of the topics discussed included WWE’s selection process for their Hall of Fame and Vince McMahon being in charge of deciding who gets to be inducted each year.

The sort of ‘who deserves to be in’ is talked about a lot from everybody else and [Vince] takes that list and goes through it and figures out how the entertainment component of it works. ‘This guy is dry and this guy is dry too. Let’s wait until next year to put this dry guy in to balance it out.'”
