Triple H is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for the second time, this time as an individual member of the Class of 2025. While some have criticized the decision, AEW announcer Jim Ross isn’t having any of the backlash surrounding the decision.
Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Ross shut down critics of Triple H's induction, and believes the idea that he only succeeded in wrestling due to his marriage to Stephanie McMahon is farcical.
Anybody that says he’s not deserving, the only reason he’s in is because of who he married is such bulls***. It’s weak. If you’re saying that, stop. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Ross highlighted many high-points of Triple H's in-ring career, including being "the top heel in one of the hottest eras in WWE." Now as WWEs Chief Content Officer, Triple H is the "head coach of that same team that's setting records." Though he no longer works at WWE, Ross found it appropriate to reach out to Triple H.
I sent him a text the other day, congratulating him, and believe it or not, it was the day after the Rumble, he texted me back. He doesn’t forget those that have helped him along the way.
Triple H was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 as part of DX but is now set to receive a solo spotlight. While some fans may have an issue with WWE's Chief Content Officer going in, JR’s message is clear—anyone questioning The Game’s legacy needs to stop talking.
