Wait... she's going out with that guy!? If HHH was slut shaming her or calling out her background, then that's probably not on. If he was calling her stupid... well the prosecution rests.

I watched that interview earlier and wow, that line stuck out real bad. Couldn’t believe he said it, he’s usually way better than that in interviews (or at least tries to be). This was a total “make with your boys” joke from the 90s. Not a good look at all, waiting on that public apology.

It wasn't a great joke, but it's probably one he's said about Ric Flair a million times and was just a go to when he couldn't think of what to say.
I'm no Triple H fan but seems really overblown.

There’s a lot to unpack with this tweet 1. Ronnie Radke is still trash 2. When Ronnie has the moral high ground on you, how badly have you f***ed up? 3. Calling her a Diva when Woman, Women’s Wrestler, or Talent or Employee would’ve sufficed is an odd turn, especially in the context of his point. 4. Him saying that she was crying over this really hammered down how bad this is. She can brave face and post a half “Taking the piss” tweet to save face, which is perfectly fine, but Ronnie saying exactly how she reacted really sends the message that Hunter f***ed up. I love H, always have and probably always will, but he needs to make this right and do better. Then he needs to apologise to me for taking the side of Ronnie “DV and Battery makes the girls want me” Radke.

Fan of Trips but he gotta talk to Paige and rectify this. She didn't deserve that at all. That's not what you do.

I think a lot of you guys are missing the point of the joke. I'm not defending it and he should apologise and I can't believe I have to type this sentence but: the joke is that she's stupid, not that she's a whore. I can't believe he'd say that in a business setting he KNEW was being recorded either. I'm with you. It's an old Polish Joke reworked. inappropriate and just wrong, but it refers to stupidity.

HHH always tries to be the coolest guy in the room and he never has been and never will be.
Not when he was a bag carrier, a bag marrier, or now.

Yo this year is f***ing wild Like I'm half expecting Cena to come out and say that Vince force fed him PEDs by Saturday Tuesday: Kenny Omega runs a bondage meth lab and hosts street fights. Wednesday: Mistakes were made. Jon Moxley runs the meth lab and was brawling with the Butcher. Omega is however into bondage.

Way overblown. He likely would have made that dumb joke regardless of whom he was talking about, male or female.

Stupid joke. Wise man would apologise personally and then issue a brief statement about “making a thoughtless comment for which I apologise”.
Already had enough wrestling people doubling down on dumb shit they’ve said this week.

If we’re doing a “people I don’t want defending me” draft, Ronnie Radke is a first round pick for sure. Paige’s taste in men is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Difference being that Ric Flair purposely leans into and even cultivates an image of a ladies man who sleeps around a lot. Paige does not and is someone who has been slut shamed a lot over the last couple of years based on having private, intimate photos/videos of herself leaked onto the internet. I don't think Triple H was trying to be a dick, as you said it was probably a "go to" joke when he couldn't think of what to say. But it was really careless and insensitive considering who he was talking about.

Way overblown. He likely would have made that dumb joke regardless of whom he was talking about, male or female. I tend to agree but we live in a world where people literally live on the internet waiting for something to get offended about. Then you’ll have opportunists come in and try to sponge off it for good promo (the Bella’s tweet, for example). Making jokes that could be construed as sexist are not going to fly in 2020. It’s just not the world we live in. In some cases that’s a good thing since there are assholes out there who said dumb stuff and need to be checked, but people who may not have meant to be sexist (I’m assuming Trips didn’t mean it to come off like that) will get caught in the crossfire. Reality is, Paige getting offended by it trumps everything. It was directed at her and she felt attacked so HHH should apologize. Everything else is just window dressing. In social media, words carry more weight than actions. Trips has to know better being in his position. If it means he has to be an insincere robot like his wife when doing media interviews, then that’s what he has to do.

Can we not do the "people just wanna be offended" thing this time plz I wasn’t talking about this particular instance, just in general. We just had an issue with a NBA coach having to apologize for saying the word “thugs” in a locker room. That culture exists. My point was HHH has to know better because words are being scrutinized more than ever nowadays.
