* Triple H starts by talking about the Seth Rollins nude photo leak, calling it the “Colby Lopez situation.” He calls it an “unfortunate personal incident.”<\/p>\n
* He puts over Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy, and how they channeled promise into success. He says they’re a very exciting team. <\/p>\n
* Triple H talks about Finn Balor and Adrian Neville, calling them the “poster boys of the future of NXT.” He also talks about NXT touring in Ohio during the Arnold Classic. He hopes to do that more in the future, saying he’d like NXT to be a full touring brand by 2016.<\/p>\n
* Triple H is asked if Vince McMahon wanting an NXT guy in the middle of a feud could cause problems, but says he hopes it happens because it means the NXT angles are effective.<\/p>\n
* HHH doesn’t like the idea of doing NXT Title matches on WWE TV or PPV, as he thinks it would ruin some of the charm of the NXT brand.<\/p>\n
* When asked about how WWE Divas are used as opposed to the NXT women wrestlers, Triple H says that WWE has a much different audience than NXT, and they look at female competitors differently.<\/p>\n
* Triple H is asked about how Hideo Itami is handling the move to Florida. He says it’s a rough transition, and he’s still waiting for the light bulb to go off with Itami.<\/p>\n
* Kevin Owens is given a ton of credit. Triple H told him to just do what he does, because he already knows how to. He said they’re more about teaching what it takes to sell out stadiums.<\/p>\n
* Triple H says the morale in NXT is really high. He hopes that seeing the NXT guys selling merchandise lights a fire under main roster talents to get better.<\/p>\n
* Triple H is asked about Zayn and Owens’ rivalry prior to their NXT run. “I don’t want to overly get into it, but I dont pretend it didn’t happen. Amazing 12 year story between these guys,” he says. He also assures callers they aren’t ignoring the past, but they aren’t dwelling on it either.<\/p>\n
* Ronda Rousey’s quick ascension is compared to WWE Divas. Triple H says he hopes that women become a hit overnight on WWE programming, but it isn’t likely.<\/p>\n
* Triple H says Chad Gable and Solomon Crowe will be on TV shortly, and they have “about 65-70 people” in NXT.<\/p>\n
* Triple H says they’re “making transitions” with Alex Riley, and he’s expressed different interests in them. He seems optimistic that Riley will have “cool” things happening.<\/p>\n
* Bill Apter asks about Vince McMahon’s feelings about NXT. Triple H says that Vince hasn’t watched it with him, and usually has it on while he’s working. He says that Vince is proud, though.<\/p>\n
* Triple H singles out William Regal as the preeminent guy when as it pertains to scouting out independent wrestlers.<\/p>\n
Triple H closes the conference call by marveling about Bill Apter’s physique, after Apter puts over Triple H’s workout DVD. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
