Why did Rikishi not just tell Austin immediately that Triple H paid him to do it instead of trying to spin that "I did it for the Rock" bullshit?

Because that originally wasn't the angle. Rikishi did a promo calling out wwe for the lack of non whites holding the wwe title.(why he ran down Austin so bis cousin Rock would be the face of the comoany) A lot of his promo was actually very true, and probably hit a little too close to home. So he just dropped the angle like 2 weeks later and they used the bullshit "HHH paid me...lol" angle instead.
Rikishi never got over so they changed it to be HHH (who was in the middle of turning face)

He's a big fat samoan dummy.

Should have never done that. A race war angle would have been fucking fun.

He would get over pretty well being a Samoan hitman/gang leader gimmick trying to fuck Austin and other high card wrestlers.
