WWE Hall of Famer Reveals the Nature of Relationship Between Vince McMahon and Triple H

Triple H World Heavyweight Championship

Vince McMahon and Triple H, two of the biggest names in WWE, are connected both, in and outside the ring. Professionally, The Game was the one who took over the WWE Creative when McMahon retired last year. And in real life, he is married to Stephanie McMahon, who is the daughter of the 77-year-old veteran. The two men have also been involved in many memorable onscreen rivalries. However, very few would know what kind of relationship Vince McMahon and Triple H share off-screen.

Recently, speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff gave some insight on the matter. Having worked alongside both men in the past, the veteran shared how he saw them up close.

Eric Bischoff claims Vince McMahon and Triple H share a relationship of mutual respect

During the show, the Hall of Famer stated he saw genuine affection and respect between McMahon and The Game. Talking about their relationship, Eric Bischoff claimed Vince McMahon had a “tremendous amount of respect” for Triple H. And that’s not because HHH was his son-in-law. Though the veteran added he knows nothing something ever happened between them behind the scenes.

However, when it comes to managing and executing his business duties, Bischoff feels HHH has Vince’s respect. He stated:

 “It wasn’t just, ‘oh, you’re my son-in-law, I’m going to pat you…’ No, there was a tremendous amount of respect [between Triple H and Vince McMahon]… That respect remains, in my opinion, in terms of Triple H’s ability to manage his portion of the business…”

Well, despite his belief, Bischoff won’t be surprised if something shocking comes out in the future. Though, if you ask him, the relationship between Vince McMahon and Triple H is built on respect.

“Cold as it may be, it exists.” Eric Bischoff also talked about the soft side of Mr. McMahon

On the show, Bischoff admitted McMahon reinstating himself to WWE’s board was something he’s been criticized for years. He also feels the 77-year-old has built a business reputation for being ruthless and cold-hearted. But at the same time, Eric Bischoff claimed to have seen the other side of Vince McMahon.

“He [Vince McMahon] does have a heart, he really does have a heart. Cold as it may be, it exists,” He stated.

What Bischoff claims, and what Vince does, seem to be the opposite. When HHH left NXT following his health issues, his father-in-law totally discredited the brand. Not to forget, the main roster treatment Vince gave to the stars made by Triple H on NXT.

Nevertheless, now that McMahon is back and Stephanie has resigned, let’s see what the fate hold for The Game. Though many reports claim, Vince will eventually regain the creative control of WWE.
