Opinion: Triple H's Rise to Power

Wrestlingnewsworld.com's owner gave his thoughts on Triple H's rise to power:

Triple H mastered the art of backstage politics early on, forming alliances with those in power and gaining the favor of Vince McMahon. As a result, his career has flourished and he even ended up in a martial relationship with Stephanie McMahon. Obviously there are a lot of people jealous of Hunter’s influence, control and power but who wouldn’t be? He started out just like any other worker and one day will be head of the world’s largest pro wrestling empire, even beating out Vince’s biological son Shane McMahon. Triple H is a guy that “gets it” and has a very close relationship with his father-in-law who sees him as the son he never had. A lot of the younger workers could learn a lot from Hunter, especially how he angled himself behind-the-scenes to gain influence.

It must by physically impossible for some people to acknowledge Hunter's success without the requisite jab concerning his marriage to Stephanie. Also the comment about "the son he never had" is a stretch.
