Road Dogg believes Johnny Gargano wouldn’t have had a spot on Vince McMahon’s WWE TV shows, but now Triple H is in charge, he feels Gargano can excel under Triple H.
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Road Dogg said that it’s no secret what Vince McMahon looked for in a performer and someone like Johnny Gargano would have never had a chance to be on a McMahon-led program.
“Vince, and everybody kind of knows, had an idea of what his wrestler looked like and it was Hulk Hogan, it was The Rock, it was Stone Cold. It was big, brawny, attractive, or hideous, whatever it is, but a bigger guy. Hunter is more of a wrestlers’ guy, a wrestling guy. He likes people that can wrestle really well. Look, Johnny Gargano would never be on Vince’s show, but there’s a good chance he’s on Hunter’s show, because he’s really good at wrestling.
“I don’t think [Vince McMahon and Triple H] see things that differently, I just think they see things — one was a promoter and then became the owner of a company and then one was just a top guy Talent who learned from the school of hard knocks by being a top guy and working under Vince as to how to make business decisions and some life decisions, too, I would imagine. so, I think they both have very similar leadership strategies and we’ll get into that a little later but as far as talent, look, Vince likes a bigger guy and Hunter likes a better wrestler.”

Time will tell if we will see Johnny Gargano back in WWE but he is one of the most hoped for returns across WWE at this time.
