During a recent episode of his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast, ex-WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. commended Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s dedication to developing factions within WWE. He also acknowledged the immense success achieved by the player through factions, including well-known ones like The Bloodline.
Some key points from this podcast are presented below:
On the podcast, Freddie Prinze Jr. illustrated the level of commitment Triple H had towards factions in WWE: “Triple H was entirely dedicated. He was a relentless advocate for expanding factions. He felt like it was a ‘Game of Thrones’ storyline set in the ring before ‘Game of Thrones’ as a book was even authored. He deeply believed factions could steer the narratives and also facilitate diverse match-ups. Despite pitching this time and again, he always faced resistance from Vince [McMahon].”
Freddie Prinze Jr. shared his thoughts on the narrative possibilities of factions: “These factions really do contribute to rich story material. Regardless of whether the faction consists of two members or expands to four, five, six or seven, each one has the potential to create substantial momentum.”
