As noted, Triple H was the special guest on the Tim Ferris Show this week, and amongst many topics, Triple H addressed the idea that he has buried talent in the past. Triple H also addressed misconceptions of him and the wrestling business and had the following to say:

“That’s one of the terms, ‘he buried him.’ It’s a show. Comic books, soap opera, TV drama, it never ends. They get so upset in the moment of thinking that it’s the end of the chapter. There’s another chapter tomorrow. They don’t understand the complexities of what goes on behind the scenes.”

He has buried some lower card talents and there was never any further reason for it

I feel as if Triple H is approaching these questions the following way:

The interviewer asks a question about what the fans think.

Triple H's answer: “Well, everybody's wrong and I'm right because look at this smart ass answer I'm gonna give you...”

And then he defends himself with bullshit statements.

I remember one time in like 2007, Paul London and Brian Kendrick were being beaten down by some heel tag team, and Triple H ran in to make the save. After beating up the heels, he then Pedigree'd London and Kendrick for no reason at all. Where was their next chapter?

And the less said about his angle and Wrestlemania match with Booker T in 2003, the better.

^ or anything per 05 during the Reign of Terror

^Must've been during their feud with KC James (Damien Sandow) and Kid Kash iirc?
HHH always insta-buries people as means to "sending messages" to his PPV opponents

Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, John Cena, Batista, etc wouldn't all be where they are without Triple H. I don't think HHH buries them, some adapt and some perish, it's how it works.

To be fair, from that list, Bryan was kinda mishandled in the beginning, but I don't think that's HHH's fault.
And I believe Ziggler was one of those that Triple H did bury. So was Curtis Axel as well.

^Axel beat HHH, and anyways was Axel gonna get anywhere off a few cheap wins and then becoming the jobber bitch for CM Punk to beat down on? No. As for Daniel Bryan, HHH let him get a big win over him at Mania. If anyone's stopping Bryan, it's not HHH, It's Vince.

As for Dolph Ziggler, HHH has had a few attacks story wise to that Authority vs Cena thing. Outside of that Ziggler and HHH haven't really crossed paths.

Oh, but when they do, it's shovelling time!

We need a shovel smiley...

Agreed.
