WWE: 7 Reasons Triple H Is Way Better Than Vince McMahon on the Air

Triple H superseded Vince McMahon at the end of the Raw episode on July 18th, 2011.

Triple H is now the COO of a flailing company. It seems that since he has been introduced as a man of power, the product has improved.

I am in no way saying that Triple H is solely responsible for this heightened interest, as the storylines and matches are to blame for that; however, Triple H is better on air than Vince McMahon, and I believe this has improved viewership.

I have come up with seven arguments to validate my audacious claim.

Enjoy!

He Wears Normal Suits

Vince became an eyesore in the latter part of his career with the ridiculous suits he would wear when coming down to the ring to address the audience.

Triple H brings some normality to the role and seems more down to earth than the billionaire who swans around like he owns the place...even though he does.

Triple H’s choice of attire is more aesthetically pleasing than that of Vince McMahon's, making for a much more enjoyable viewing experience.

He Looks Comfortable in the Ring

Triple H has had so much in-ring experience that it is probably like a second home to him.

This is overly obvious when I see him in the squared circle, even in a suit and tie.

Vince often looked like he didn’t want to be there after his infamous feud with Steve Austin.

He Has a Physical Presence Vince McMahon Lacked

Vince McMahon had rippling muscles when he removed his shirt for the rare occasions that required it...wait a minute, no occasion requires that.

Anyway, Triple H has a physical presence that Vince McMahon could only dream of.

No superstar is ever going to cower down in front of Vince McMahon, but I guarantee many a superstar will flee if The Game keeps his job.

He has a huge presence that creates situations that Vince McMahon would not have been able to handle.

Attacking R-Truth and Miz, Kevin Nash and CM Punk—the physical presence plays a big role in his COO...role.  

He Can Have Matches to Settle Feuds

Now, when I say Triple H can have matches to settle feuds, I am aware that Vince McMahon did partake in a few matches throughout his largely successful tenure as "Mr. McMahon."

However, he could not work these matches as well as the Cerebral Assassin, nor would anybody expect him to.

The reason this makes Triple H better on air is because he can challenge superstars to fights and actually stands a chance of winning cleanly due to his storied history in the squared circle.

He Commands Attention

There is no doubt that over the last few years, everyone has stopped caring about the remnants of a character that belongs in the Attitude Era.

"Mr McMahon" just could not adjust to the modern era, and interest in his character waned, due to more and more exaggerated storylines.

Triple H, however, is more popular than ever, and people are still really invested in the character, making his job a lot easier.

He seems to command attention in the way Vince did at the height of his popularity.

This is a knack Vince has lost as he has become older, and the lack of reaction for his Mr. McMahon character often infuriates him.

He Is Taken Seriously

How could you not? When The Game says something, he means it.

He fired R-Truth and The Miz, and though they did make an appearance at Hell in a Cell, he meant what he said.

When I say this, I mean I am so emotionally invested in his character, I feel that when he says something, he means it.

He pulls no punches, figuratively and literally.

Admittedly, this point does not hold as much weight after the revelations on Monday Night Raw. Triple H’s superstars all walked out on him after a vote of no confidence—however, let’s not forget that pretty much the same happened to Vince a couple of months ago when Triple H took over the role.

He Has a Better Rapport with Superstars

When talking to the superstars, he seems to have more engaging interactions with them.

I think that Austin vs. McMahon was one of the greatest feuds ever, despite the fact that there was a minimal amount of wrestling involved between the two—but McMahon never seemed as comfortable with other superstars. It was like he was longing for another Austin.

Triple H does not have this problem, and so far, seems to be able to talk to anyone on the roster and make it funny, engaging and serious all at the same time.

Maybe I am straying a bit with this point, but I do believe that Triple H can interact with a wider variety of characters than Mr. McMahon could.
