MVP’s comments about Triple H have turned into one of the biggest talking points surrounding his podcast over the past few months. Ever since he unloaded on WWE’s Chief Content Officer earlier this year, some fans have started accusing the show of becoming little more than anti-Triple H ragebait.
MVP says that’s complete nonsense. While he isn’t changing how he feels about Triple H, he insists people are making assumptions about a show they don’t even watch. Speaking on the September 28 episode of Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze, MVP laughed off the idea that his podcast revolves around taking shots at Triple H.
“That’s absurd. Anyone who watches the show, it’s not the case. For those who are actually watching, you know that’s ridiculous. Again, I keep repeating myself, but it boggles my mind someone can have these allegations and assertions about a show they claim they don’t watch.”
MVP admitted he still doesn’t like Triple H, but said he’s never tried to hide that. He also argued that plenty of people who have known Triple H personally have shared similar opinions over the years.
“There is no respite. I don’t like Triple H, and I don’t like him. He’s as spineless as they are. Don’t back me up on that—go on YouTube and look up people who were his friends and have said similar.”
He also thinks the reaction has more to do with who’s speaking than what’s actually being said. According to MVP, if he says something negative about Triple H, people immediately write him off as bitter, but they’ll happily listen when someone else makes a similar point.
“Now it’s all about the messenger, right? If I said, ‘You don’t like me,’ then I’m bitter. But when it comes from one of these wrestlers you like, then it’s like, ‘Oh, I see.’ It depends on the messenger.”
Despite all the attention his comments have received over the past few months, MVP pointed out that his podcast hasn’t actually spent episode after episode talking about Triple H.
“But there has not been a single Triple H-based episode yet.”
MVP clearly isn’t walking back anything he previously said about Triple H. At the same time, he wants fans to separate his personal opinions from what he says the podcast actually is, arguing there’s a big difference between answering questions honestly and building an entire show around one person.
