During the late 90s everyone on the WWE roster was trying to break through to the next level. Triple H managed to become one of the top stars in the company and he did so by establishing himself as a ruthless heel.
As Triple H was ascending to the top of the card Jim Ross did everything he could to try and help The Game establish himself with the comments he made about Triple H’s character.
Apparently Jim Ross did such a good job that some fans believe that he had legitimate hatred for Triple H. During a recent episode of Grilling JR the WWE Hall of Famer clarified that he was simply trying to do his job.
“I went on a vendetta [as a television character] about him and tried to make him a bigger heel than he was. There’s still people to this very day think that I hate Triple H and he hates me and all that stuff.
It’s pro wrestling. Our job is to get talent over and to establish their persona, and I thought we did a nice job of establishing Triple H’s persona that followed his lead on how all that stuff worked out.”
