WWE Head of Creative Triple H has shared his opinion on fans complaining about several stars and booking scenarios on the internet. The Game also addressed the recent backlash Cody Rhodes has faced to establish his point.

During his appearance on the FLAGRANT podcast, the 55-year-old stated that the internet and all the complaining on there is not real life. He used The American Nightmare's example to explain that people on the internet can make anything good seem bad.

“The internet is not real life, and the b**ching and the f**king complaining that is on there is not real life. You could read the internet, and it’ll sound like this thing is dead. I’ll use Cody as the example, ‘Cody’s already jumped the shark. He’s dead as a babyface’. He goes, ‘Really? I don’t know. I’m in an arena with 10-15,000 people every night going ape sh*t for me, selling the most merchandise’, but sure, whatever you wanna say on the internet, that’s the golden rule — it’s just opinion of a few people,” he said.
