Eric Young Feels WWE Run Would’ve Been Different If Triple H Had Control: I’d Do Anything For Him

Eric Young talks about Triple H, Vince McMahon, and his time in WWE.

Eric Young, under Triple H in NXT, was a top star as the leader of SAnitY. Young would eventually be called up to the main roster and subsequently moved to the sidelines until being released in 2020. Currently, he is back in IMPACT and happily leading Violent by Design, but Eric Young believes that his run would have gone differently if Triple H was in charge.

Eric Young says as much to Jim Alexander of Reel Talker, reflecting on a confrontation he had with Vince McMahon.

“l went to a meeting with Vince to pitch him some ideas and I told him to his face, if you have a three-hour wrestling show and you can’t find five minutes for me to do anything, you’ve failed. You’re a failure (to Vince). I’d say that again to his face, because that’s what it is.”

Eric Young then recalled producing as a favor to Triple H, saying that he would have done anything for flights asked of him, joking that he is so loyal to Triple H that he would even consider hiding a dead body for the 14-time World Champion.

“The producing, that was a favor to HHH. I wasn’t being used, I was being paid full-time so he said I think you’d be good at it, what do you think about trying it out? Well, I’m there anyway so I might as well. (If Triple H had control at the time) Things would have been way different for me. I would do anything for him (HHH). I’d run through a wall. Help him hide a dead body (laughs), whatever he asked me to do. I respect him that much,” said EY.

Now, Triple H does have control of WWE’s creative direction following the retirement of Vince McMahon. Learn more here.
