By Prityush Haldar Modified 10 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Triple H is the WWE Chief Content Officer Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently spoke about how Triple H and Road Dogg played a big part in getting him a role with the company back in 2013. Dutch Mantell had been working the independent circuit for decades when WWE reached out to him for an on-screen role. He signed with the company and had a storied run in 2013-16 as the outspoken heel manager, Zeb Colter. During his run, he managed the likes of Jack Swagger, Cesaro, and Alberto Del Rio. On the latest episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the wrestling veteran mentioned that Triple H was a huge advocate for getting him into WWE. He detailed that Hunter and fellow DX teammate Road Dogg felt that Swagger needed a manager, and they thought of him. "Guess who hired me? Triple H. I think it was his idea or Road Dogg's idea for Swagger to get a talker, a mouthpiece. I think Triple H was probably a main proponent of it and I always appreciate him for that. I like Triple H and I wish him the most success in the world." [2:40 - 3:07]

He called me up and told me they weren't going to renew my contract, which is fine. I mean, I knew. How many times have I said, you get hired till you get fired?" Mantell continued, "There's a thing about being professional about it. So I was professional, he was too and they let me go because I was still having trouble with leg. I actually came back too soon."
