WWE's Changes: What McMahon Might Dislike Under Triple H
Vince McMahon, the former head of WWE, had a very specific way of running the wrestling company.
After he left, Triple H took over and made some changes.
One change is that sponsors now have logos on the wrestling ring, which McMahon never allowed.
Also, wrestlers now sometimes don't act like their characters outside the ring, which is different from how McMahon liked it.
Finally, Triple H often has fewer matches at big events than McMahon used to have.
Vince McMahon's WWE vision differed from Triple H's.
Sponsor logos are now placed on the ring mat.
WWE Superstars break kayfabe more often outside the ring.
Triple H often schedules five matches for PLEs.
