Triple H and Stephanie McMahon getting a DIVORCE!!

[D-Will316]

I hope the title got your attention. They're not of course.

But anyway I was thinking what IF they did. Where would that leave Hunter or his career. Would he be any different? Will he be FORCED to job to others? Could it drastically change wrestling? Do you think he'd leave the company?

Let's say he's still on good terms with Stephanie & The McMahons.

 

[SunnyD]

He has been around long enough that I don't think it would matter. But he is getting older and he will be jobbing a lot more often. Imagine Triple H in TNA though, that would be ridiculous.

 

[Goliath Uterus]

I honestly don't think this would change much of anything, he would still be a dominant wrestler in the WWE and things would continue as normal.

 

[Mr. Wrestling 27]

that title did get my attention. lol. i agree with the previous poters in that it wouldnt change much of anything if he was still on good terms with the mcmahon family...

 

[Zuper-Man]

I don't think much would change for good reason. I'm sure he has contractual rights to veto changes that would dramatically affect the status of his character. He will never be a jobber or non main-eventer, if that's what is being implied by the OP. Married or not, Trips is way too established and decorated to ever be anything less than a world championship-caliber talent.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

Misleadin post, OP. In the no-longer-immortal words of Carlito, "That's not cool".

Honestly, if they were to divorce absolutely nothing would change. Kayfabe they were divorced, and we saw how Triple H's career got pushed to the sky in 2002. Vincent Kennedy McMahon knows what is good for business; if Triple H were to break ties with Steph, he would still be around on cable I am almost sure of it. But hey right now The Game is possibly looking at retirement so it's not like his outside affairs would boil into him not recieving, say, a Hall Of Fame Induction.

On screen he has been one of the biggest names in WWE even before WWF got the F out. It would be bad for business to just let his fame go out the window on the grounds him and Steph can't fix a marraige.

 

[3,000 Pound Gorrilla]

Well, being that the McMahon-Helmsleys are birthing future wrestling monarchs at the rate of about 1 every two years... the scenario is quite unlikely... But I'll bite. It would make for an interesting story line. Maybe we see the Vinnie Mac reclaim the love of his daughter when he defends her honor. Or the return of big brother Shane-O to take out Trips for doggin' his sis. Hunter would get crapped on for a while, yadda yadda. But, in real life... Nothing would change. Vince knows he can't go forever, and his son doesn't have the heart for the business and Steph, well she can't be Vince. She can be Steph, but never have the same on screen impact as Vince. Mark my words, reguardless of whether or not Hunter and Steph are together... Triple H will someday take the reigns from Vince. And there you have it.

LOL anyone who was duped by the headline is gulliable
Much like the reports of the Undertaker being dead and some people taking it seriously.

Yeah right, if it was the truth why would a random person on a IWC forums report it, and no other major news network or WWE themselves say anything

Now we are past that i was gonna come in and say to the effect of stop posting crap til you know it's truth, but since OP said it posing a what if.

Simple answer, absoultely nothing would change.
Unless maybe it was because of something serious he did in which case Vince may have come down hard on him. You don't mess with the billion dollar princess and expect no reprocussions
There'd definately be a storyline built around it either way since that's what they do. Not to many real life situations they haven't played off of or somehow mixed into onscreen programming. Specially when it comes to the McMahon's

Trips is too engrained in WWE to be treated like shit at this point in his career in reality. In a storyline no doubt, thats been happening to him in story since the infamous Clique incident, Trips was treated like shit for a year in reality though in that case b4 he was pushed to the Main Event and hasn't looked back.

If Vince ever decides "Enough is Enough and It's Time For A Change" yeah right, there's "No Chance In Hell" of that happening anytime soon it seems.
Trips would be likely to take over atleast some part of WWE especially with Shane going elsewhere and Stephanie perpetually in motherhood mode.

Anyway let's say for arguments sake it did happen and Vince was pissed, there's one thing that would be worse to him than working with your daughters EX. and that would be Trips walking and heading onto TNA. He's one guy that could really screw up the ratings.

 

[XgringolocoX]

3tPG, why make trips the bad guy in this senario? I say have Steph be the one who pulled a Lita on Hunter then have her family back HIM. Since Shane isn't around Vince could call Trips his only "real" son and blah blah blah...just about everything else you said was cool. This could end with Vince giving Hunter his position in the company cause as you said his own ain't gonna fit the bill.

Well played Gringo. That is an even better spin on the idea. "Pulled a Lita" That is priceless... I have had a few ladies in my past "Pull a Lita" lol. But yeah, works your way even better, so Vince vindicates Trips by giving him control. Maybe even work in an "Edge" for Hunter to bury for a while 'cause he got involved in family business.

 

[Ruthless-RKO]

How many threads about this seriously...

It won't happen..even if it did...i don't think anything would happen, he wouldn't jump ship to TNA, he would stay in WWE...

 

[KoC417]

This has already been done! Why do people continue to make topics about stuff that's already been done. Stephanie and HHH won't ever get a divorce and if they did blah blah blah who really cares the WWE would stay in control of the McMahons because Vince has controlling interests in the company.
Again..Topic has already been done...

 

[Dave]

I am pretty sure that some ramifications would come of it but I am also sure that it wouldn't anything absolutely major. Sure, he may job a lot more than he is doing right now and he may not be as dominant as he would like to be but I would still imagine that he would be there or thereabouts, when it comes to the top tier or WWE wrestling.

If they did indeed get a divorce, it would be ludicrous to think that Vince would be so vengeful to the father of his grand-children, especially if they are leaving things on good terms like you have stated. It wouldn't be good for business, for the kids involved of for Triple H. Stephanie McMahon would also come out looking like a vengeful bitch and I don't think anyone in the WWE really wants to see anything like that ever happen. So, the short answer is no. Triple H would continue in the WWE and would likely still be a competitive superstar. However, some ramifications may take hold that would hold him back. At the end of the day, Triple H still sells merchandise and still puts on decent matches. I don't think there would be that much of a problem.

I think we'd all like to believe that all the parties involved could be professional about everything, but I think we're giving Vince and Stephanie a little too much credit. In the past, Vince McMahon has been known to sacrifice lucrative opportunities in support of his own ego. When he bought WCW, he could have done something phenomenal with it. Instead, he allowed it to go the way of the Dodo just to say that, once and for all, the WWF beat WCW. He's done similar things a number of times in the past, but that's among the most well known.

Also, Stephanie McMahon is his only daughter and mother of two, and soon to be three, grandchildren. If Triple H were to divorce Stephanie, or vice versa, I have little trouble believing that Vince wouldn't make Triple H miserable or attempt to fire him if it's what Stephanie wanted. The Guest Host concept on Raw was scheduled to be over already, but Stephanie likes the idea and convinced Vince to keep it going at least through the summer. I know that's a long way from getting her father to sabotoge Triple H's career, but it's an example of the kind of influence she has.

Then again, to be fair, I have to say that Vince McMahon has made some benevolent gestures this year. He's made amends with Bret Hart and Bret Hart has been part of the WWE roster since January, something none of us ever thought we'd see, he asked The Ultimate Warrior to be part of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010 despite the animosity between the two in the past, he asked Wendi Richter to be part of the class and she accepted despite being the victime of the original WWE Screwjob roughly 25 years ago. In 2010, it does seem as though Vince McMahon has not only grown something of a conscience but he also seems to have grown as a person as well. I'm not saying he's all warm and cuddly now or anything, but he's certainly done some things this year that I'd have never thought he'd be willing to do. So maybe I'm wrong and maybe he wouldn't try to ruin Triple H's career in the WWE if Steph wanted him to. Hell, maybe Vince actually is a human being now.

 

[sd03]

They make a really good couple, I honestly don't see them ever divorcing. Might as well stop the speculation about it. They both work together at times, and have been having children left and right. They won't split, and if they ever did, it would have to be something pretty big.

I would take those gestures with a grain of salt.
1) He's got a limited supply of people who want to work for him or be part of the Hall Of Fame. hence why you have to induct Koko B Ware. are u serious? Koko B Ware a legend? LOL

2) Bret Hart being reintroduced has been a long time in coming, he was just not physically able to make a go of it due to health issues. and maybe HBK was the one who actually got the ball rolling on that.

I always reckon outside of the ring Vince and WWE had a heart as is evident by all the charity work they do, just when it comes to the "entertainment" business, you have to be somewhat ruthless, same with any other multi-millionaire/billionare you can't be a nice guy and totally succeed.

Or in the words of Jessie Ventura, do unto others b4 they ever have a chance to do unto you
