Vince Russo worked for WWE between 1992–1999 and went from being a freelance writer for WWF Magazine to being their head writer for television. While his ideas are often criticized, it isn’t a coincidence that his rise within WWE led to Raw overtaking Nitro in the ratings. During this time, Russo worked with some of the biggest names in wrestling, including The Rock, The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Steve Austin, and Triple H. Now, in an interview with YouTube channel SmarkBusters, he has spoken about his time in WWE and revealed that he started looking at Triple H differently after he refused to put over D-Lo Brown.

I remember one night at Raw, Triple H refused to put D’Lo Brown over. First of all, if you know D’Lo, he’s the nicest guy in the world. D’Lo is the nicest guy in the world, then all of a sudden, Triple H didn’t want to put him over, and I remember turning to him and saying, “The guy put you over like ten times. Now it’s time for you to put him over.” But I remember because from that moment on, I looked at Triple H a little differently. It was almost like D’Lo was beneath him. Not in my eyes, he wasn’t.Vince Russo

Triple H had a reputation during his prime years for refusing to put wrestlers over with Scott Steiner, Booker T, RVD, and Kurt Angle, all coming to mind as people whose careers were held back due to him. It should be noted that Brown did achieve a singles victory over Triple H when he defeated him for the European Championships in 1998. However, it did involve The Rock hitting Triple H with the Rock Bottom before Brown got the pin and was done to build up a match between the pair.
