Triple H Reveals Why WWE Wrestlers Hate Hulk Hogan

For years, the WWE Universe was fed the myth of Hulk Hogan—the golden hero, the locker room leader, the man who “built” WrestleMania. But according to Triple H, that legacy is a carefully crafted illusion—and he’s finally exposing what really went on behind the curtain.

In a closed-door interview that’s already sending shockwaves through the wrestling world, The Game let it all out.

“Most people don’t have the guts to say it. I do. Hogan wasn’t the locker room leader—he was the reason the locker room was divided.”

**“It Was Never About the Business. It Was About Him.”**

Triple H didn’t hold back. According to him, Hogan was never a team player—he was a chronic manipulator who saw every new star as a threat.

“You think Hogan wanted to help new talent? Please. He wanted to suck the spotlight dry before anyone else had a chance.”

Triple H claims that during Hogan’s returns in the early 2000s, he personally witnessed multiple storylines rewritten to make sure Hogan looked stronger—even if it made zero sense.

“There were moments when younger guys were finally getting over with the crowd, but somehow the next week, boom—they’re taking a leg drop and losing clean. That’s not a coincidence. That’s Hogan.”

Sabotage from the Top Down

According to Triple H, Hogan didn’t just bury people in the ring—he buried them in meetings.

“He’d smile to your face and then walk straight into Vince’s office and say you weren’t ready, that you were unsafe, or that the crowd wasn’t reacting. Then suddenly your push vanished.”

Names that fell victim? Triple H hinted at several.

Rob Van Dam

Booker T

Billy Gunn

Shelton Benjamin

“They all had it. But Hogan made sure ‘it’ didn’t matter if you weren’t in his circle.”

The “Golden Boy” Complex

Triple H described Hogan as obsessed with being the sole face of the company.

“He thought being the face of WWE was a birthright. If you outshined him even slightly, he’d find a way to dim your light.”

There was even an incident in 2005 where Hogan reportedly refused to lose to Shawn Michaels clean, despite the buildup.

“He didn’t care about the business. He cared about his ego. He demanded creative control like it was a hostage situation.”

Hogan’s Return? “A Mistake.”

When asked about Hogan’s final returns to WWE in the 2010s, Triple H didn’t sugarcoat it.

“Bringing him back was a business decision. Not a locker room decision. Nobody wanted him there. Morale dropped every time his music hit.”

He continued:

“It became about nostalgia and PR. Meanwhile, the guys grinding every night were getting pushed aside for someone who hadn’t put in the work in over a decade.”
