Triple H: I Don’t Know What The F*ck Lemon Pepper Steppers Are

Triple H understands that sometimes, things won’t make any sense to him, and that’s the best way to look at it.

During a conversation with Variety. Triple H and Shawn Michaels, both men who oversee WWE talent from the main roster with Paul Levesque to NXT with HBK’s input and advice to lead the next generation of superstars in the WWE spoke about the rise of SmackDown’s Trick Williams and Raw’s Je’Von Evans.

Here is the full comment from the Variety interview from Triple H below.

“I certainly can’t write for Trick (Williams). To address it directly, I saw Kev make a mention of Je’Von (Evans) and saying, ‘Well, I wish they treated his character differently. He’s a little too much of this for me.’ Somebody told me about it, I was like, ‘It’s just him…’ That’s just who he is. That’s how he acts, that’s how he talks to me backstage, that’s how he is in the afternoon, and then, we just kind of give him the gist of what he’s gonna say and then he goes and says it but, that’s just who he is, and similar thing for Trick, I don’t even know what the f*ck lemon pepper steppers are. It doesn’t make any sense to me. It shouldn’t. Yeah, it shouldn’t. I can feel it when he says it — the cool stuff — or for the most part because I can feel the crowd react to it or I can feel the things that are clicking for him… If he runs dry on cool sh*t to say, he ain’t getting it from me. The character that you put around it, the emotion that you put around it, your spin on it, all that stuff is really what makes it great.”

Levesque also spoke on the comments made by his friend and Hall of Famer, Kevin Nash, who referred to Evans as being too ‘Mr. Bojangles’.

Mr. Bonjangles, real name Bill Robinson, was a Black man who was a tap dancer during the segregated eras of Jim Crow and the Great Depression in the United States of America. Robinson had to take on roles that played on racist stereotypes about Black people for him to be accepted and find success in the mainstream.

Williams is set to battle WWE United States Champion Sami Zayn and Evans is set to be involved in a Ladder match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, held by Penta, both matches will be held at WrestleMania 42 this weekend.
