In theory, I have no problem with Triple H’s “Work hard, get better, get over and you’ll get pushed” doctrine.
The problem isn’t that philosophy, the problem is that there’s numerous cases where he hasn’t practiced what he preached. And the game is rigged. If they don’t want you to be over, you won’t be over.
Carmelo Hayes got real over by Mania season and they took the U.S. title off him two weeks before WrestleMania.
