WWE CCO Triple H recently analyzed the success Donald Trump, stating his crossover appeal in entertainment and politics stems from the same “larger than life” charisma that defines the WWE.
Speaking on the All-In Podcast, Triple H made a direct connection between wrestling and politics. “If you go back through history, even in politics, and you look at the person that gets elected… it’s the most charismatic person on that stage that gets elected president,” he said.
Why Trump Succeeded In WWE
He then applied this theory to Donald Trump, who is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame for his various appearances, including a “Battle of the Billionaires” match at WrestleMania.
“Donald Trump was very good in our world of WWE because he was okay to be himself,” Triple H explained. “He was okay to sort of get egg on his face and be embarrassed sometimes. He was okay to put it all out there.”
“He’s charismatic. He’s larger than life. He’s not afraid to say what’s in front of him, right or wrong,” he added.
