Triple H says Nick Khan is ‘the most incredible businessman’ he’s worked with
WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque says that Nick Khan is the most incredible businessman he’s ever worked with on a day-to-day basis.
Levesque was featured in a video posted by TKO Group Holdings on Wednesday. In the video, he reflected on the more than 30 years he has spent with WWE after signing with the company in early 1995.
Triple H said:
“I am Paul Levesque, sometimes known as Triple H, sometimes known as the Cerebral Assassin, sometimes known as the King of Kings. I have a lot of names.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have been here in WWE for 30 years. To see changes of the guard, I’ve seen talent come and go. I’ve seen ebbs and flows of the business. But I think having been through all of those, having been a key component in the Attitude Era, which many people see as one of the all-time great eras in our business, I’m fortunate that I experienced all of it.
Early in my career, I sort of fell in love with the behind-the-scenes of the business. I was very interested in the creative process of putting the shows together.”
Triple H also spoke about Khan and what he has brought to the company, saying:
“Nick is the most incredible businessman I’ve ever worked with on a day-to-day basis. His business sense and acumen and all of that and his experience are second to none. But he’s also a huge fan of WWE. He sees the things that work and don’t.”
Also in the video, Triple H spoke about the difference between being a wrestler and being an executive with a wrestling company.
“When you’re a WWE superstar, you’re focused singularly on you. When you switch to being an executive, it’s about everybody else. Your job goes from being singularly focused to just this wide net of everything that you have in front of you, and it’s dealing with people. But it’s a lot easier to deal with them when you get to slam them than it is when you can’t slam them and just have to talk to them.”
