Its the Game ,What do you think life was ? Fair ? You gotta do with whatever cards you have ,it might be « unfair » or « bullshity » to someone else eyes but when you sleep at night looking back at your wife ,kids and money you know you made What was best for you first and foremost
Vince will never step down no matter how many people think he's out of touch. Let's say you owned a company and grew it into a billion dollar empire would you turn over decision making process to someone else just because some people are unhappy?
@@kevinmiller2210 oh I agree with you don't get me wrong. The only way Vince is stepping down is passing away. I always thought Shane would be his successor actually. It's just that Vince has too much control even now in his 70s. He doesn't need to step down per say but let major decisions storyline-wise be taken by others close to him and not have everything always be approved by him.
He was saying it as in a smart business choice because it was the middle of the Monday night Wars and he was employed by one of the enemies and the other side came and probably offered him a crazy amount of money
As a behind the scenes arena worker (security) in an arena that has an NHL team as well as several high profile shows a year along with medium sized shoes every week, I will say the WWE was by far the most well oiled and smoothly run machines we got to work with. It was an easy day for us when they came to the building. They ran their own service yard, had everything scheduled to a t, load in/out was cake, and had absolutely 0 issues with getting access credentials and actually displaying them. Exttemely well run production.
My brother worked as a roadie for a local comedian, he ran a play aswell which my brother would set the stage up for, and even the organisation for such a relatively tiny production was meticulous and important for the turn around at the venue aswell as the acting troupe. It's unimaginable how something as big as the WWE can even get done.
My mom's husband used to work at the Savemart center in Fresno California which is a massive indoor venue that's big enough for monster trucks and he always said the WWE, PBR ( bull riding) and monster jam (monster trucks) were the best events because they'd come in with their own equipment set up completely on their own do most of their own security and would pack up and leave when they were done the only thing the venue staff did was clean and run the food stands he once told me the monster trucks even bring their own dirt and after they leave you wouldn't find any dirt in the arena they'll clean it and make it look like they were never there ... He told me hockey and basketball were the worst and concerts were hit and miss some were the absolute best events while others were nightmares
Really puts it in perspective how hard this guy works. Wrestle a show the night before, drive to next town, show up to morning production meeting, workout, arrive at tonight’s venue, do a show- repeat.
And idiots, especially fellas like cm punk, says HHH only became successful due to marrying Stephanie. Ppl really let their jealousy show sometimes. Paul was always a hardworking dude......
@@vkak1 As a lifelong HHH fan, I know this. The disrespect and hate he's had for decades is ridiculous. Some people have come around. Some haven't. He got over the criticism long ago and accepted some people will always discredit him despite being a workhorse ON and OFF screen WAY BEFORE Stephanie entered his life.
@@Speedyreedy1218 true, it’s amazing he came back from having his character buried in the aftermath of the curtain call. People think he had it easy because of Stephanie but it was probably the opposite as both Vince and the locker room put way more pressure and scrutiny on everything he did because of that relationship. Definitely earned his success
Ever since he was a student. I forgot which video special it was, but i remember his parents saying that he was only allowed to go to pro wrestling traininh if he maintained his grades really well. Triple H would go to pro wrestling practice after school, work out, then finish up his homework when he got home. The dude's a different breed.
Yep, just didn’t have much of an ending to it. I expect the plan was for Stephanie to join Angle and Triple H to turn face, but it was probably vetoed backstage as they wanted to stick together (for obvious reasons).
He's not exactly going to reveal his true feelings in-front of the cameras, he said just enough so that it doesn't offend Vince but gives the media a little something to work with.
People seem to underestimate this legend... I grew up saying he was one of my favorites, but all I've heard for about the last 10-15 years is "he got where he is because he started dating Stephanie"... Really? This man CLEARLY showed outstanding skill and a very memorable character with the amazing move set and engaging entrance. Not to mention all the work he has since done behind the scenes. This man is on the Mount Rushmore of WWE Legends, love him or hate him.
I wonder what it would be like to be a kid and have Vince McMahon as a father. He would be like "Alright, time for bed, now go to sleep because Yourrrrrrreeee TIRRRREDDDDD!" Or if Vince was a mechanic instead of a billionaire wrestling enterprise owner. Vince: " Well it looks like there's something wrong with your car." Guy: "Really? What part of it needs to be replaced?" Vince: "YOOURRRREEE TIIIIIIRRESSSS!" Or if he was a firefighter Vince: "It's ONNNNN FIIIIIRRRRE!" or if he was a serial killer that was never caught and he turned himself in one day to confess.. Vince: "IT WAS ME AUSTIN! IT WAS ME ALLLLL ALONG!" ....is this thing on? I'll be here all night, try the waitress tip the steak...
Triple H is a workaholic who's in love with bodybuilding and is obsessed with wrestling I may not always like him but I'll always respect him because he's not just trying to make money he's genuinely trying to create a product that the fans will enjoy
YEAH BUT TRIPLE H MARRIED HER TO GET HIS CLAWS IN VINCE,EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT,SO HED HAVE A STEADY POSITION THERE,AS LONG AS HES WITH STEPH HE WILL NOT BE FIRED AND HE'LL BE AT THE TOP OF THE TOTUM POLE.
Jason Chandler actually Stephanie said in interviews that she was more into him at the time than the other way around. Listen to her Howard Stern interview...
It isn't. HHH did it the right way, very smooth. But the stuff like "I just wanna help" and then being hesitant about joining the creative - that's BS. He was doing exactly to get a better position for himself and if it was someone else this close to Vince, he would be seething with jealousy. Im not judging him, dude played his cards right, but he is not this honest hard worker who just wanted to participate.
Terrance Hall He was the kliq member who didn’t drink and wasn’t high so he had time to plot. HHH is lying tho his teeth but it worked for him. Stephanie isn’t bad looking so whether he love Steph or not at least he wasn’t getting a but-her - head ( everything looks great but her head).
Nathan Torres r u fucking kid me edge was a mid carder in the 90s only got a push wen all the icons retired edge is a fool go away you geek fucking dickhead
Mans a legend of our childhood.... was our favorite bad guy to boo but we all thought he was cool asf ..... give him his flowers now while hes alive and still young enough to appreciate how important he is to wrestling... .. hope he can rule for 20 years atleast
Very interesting. He might have been a big behind the scenes politician, but interesting insight on how he got the opportunity because he was proactive in asking to help and doing the necessary hard work to succeed in the opportunity
He's not quiet at all. His character is an exaggerated version of himself. He really is passionate. He really loves what he does and is thrilled to call some of the people he idolized growing up (Flair, Arnold) friends and colleagues. Harley Race telling him it's a honor hearing JR compare HHH to him was one of the best compliments HHH received. Similar situation with Billy graham. So when HHH would say he's "the greatest professional wrestler alive today" in his promos, he not only believed it himself. But was affirmed from 70s and 80s goats before him that he is the evolved millennium version of them. He's humble, but also proud of his body of work.
Vince Russo is responsible for hhh rise bcoz he pushed hhh,where everyone was against him,bcoz at 1999, ppl used to think him as mid career and some ppl said it he couldn't draw a dime..
@@samanthaleigh9204 Depending on the year in the late 90s she would have been 20-24. I used 1999 for 24. And HHH would have been the late 20s to 30 years old. That makes him a perv or something?
Most husbands are older than their wives. A dude in his late 20’s/early thirties with a woman in her early to mid twenties isn’t really a big deal. It’s kinda par for the course.
I love how Triple H just roasts people in a nonchalant way and they'll never be able to say anything back because the roasts are the actual truth. It's hilarious.
@M Williamson I could listen to HHH promos all day. Witty, powerful, realistic, dark, passionate, prose-style promos; and they pushed the story he was telling with his rivals forward. And he had a believable cadence and arrogance in his delivery. He didn't repeat tons of cheeky catchphrases like his peers. Nor did he have to.
well he's had quite a power behind-the-scenes around 03 already when they got hitched. Obviously he married into MORE power, but the notion that he dated the boss' daughter THEN he started to get some leverage/power is simply wrong.
@@jamirimaj6880 The Hogpen match was before the curtain call happened (December of 95 when the Curtain call was in May of 1996). In reality, his punishment wasn't really that severe. He was supposed to win the King of the Ring that year but they gave it Austin instead but HHH still worked most of the PPVs and he won the IC title before the end of the year.
HHH makes a great point, working 4 hours extra for meetings. Most wrestlers would say no. HHH said yes. He put work in getting to his spot and not via Stephanie.
Bullshit,your only hearing his version you weren't there you don't know how it happened, getting in good with Vince then marrying his daughter that's not a coincidence.
Jason Chandler actually he has told this exact story in multiple interviews - pretty sure it’s legit. Plus, he was already gonna retire a multi-millionaire anyways. He wouldn’t have taken the extra work if he didn’t want to do it. NXT was basically his creation from start to finish btw.
LOL. when Hunter talks about the Wedding Angle with Stef and how it was all Russo and no one knew where it was suppose to go.. BULLSHIT lol. i even know where it was suppose to go, he just doesnt want to admit that he derailed Test's career. Test was suppose to leave Stef at the altar and turn heel for a 1-2 year run as a dominant heel. Triple H persuaded Vince to change it to his idea. Test was crushed when he got the news, and his career never really recovered... I mean, i get it, wrestling is a shark tank, gadda do what ya gadda do to get to the top, its all part of 'the game' (lol).. but at least own up to it
Most other wrestlers went and partied after they got done wrestling. Stone Cold said in a podcast that HHH would hardly ever drink. I can see why Vince could see something in him. Most of them would be hung over from drinking/partying night in and night out. HHH would be up early in the morning and I'm sure Vince took notice.
people say a lot of shit about triple h but whatevs... this dude is one of the cornerstones of wwe and really became a student of the game. no shit but even his peers are saying that hes an excellent ring genereal, never stoppped learning and has discipline. good to know that trip still with us and wwe til the future.
Paul is the man, despite how many haters he has and how many accusations against him about holding new talent back. If Taker likes him and respects him, so do I, which is why I also side with Vince on a lot of things. It's his company - if his workers don't like it, there's always other wrestling companies
Reborn As Jackals And then ended up in TNA and almost destroyed that too. Although admittedly he can’t be blamed for everything that happened there, most of it can be laid at the feet of Dixie Carter.
Sounds like Vince groomed HHH to marry his daughter. Get him into the business etc. I can imagine like Steph saying one time "That Hunter guy is cool" and Vince goes "It shall be"
Man I wish I could have been around( of age) when HHH was going to these meetings I’d be waiting for him outside his hotel to be there for the meetings and be part of that.
I liked HBK a tiny bit (I first started watching in 92) and he became my default favorite. But once HHH debuted in the WWF in 95, it was a wrap for me. Shawn was #2 and HHH became my GOAT. Loved everything about all the evolutions of his character. I rewatched those four WMs with Taker. The Shawn ones were ok. The HHH ones had me in tears.
just wondering how did Rock and SCSA became the face though Vince knew the value HHH was bringing on...Vince is a visionary indeed..... He kept HHH away from main events in WM as long as he had those two top dogs around - well, atleast most of the times!
People give Hunter hard time that he married his way into the position today. Whether it's true or not, you can't deny Triple H's vision, decision & leadership in creating and managing NXT. He certainly knows what he's doing better than Vince.
They said he married for the money, as a super star, HHH does not receive a lot of money and go on spending sprees like buying multiple lambos and Bugatti. The most expensive thing he prolly owns is a Rolex that Austin advised him to get. HHH is all about business and what's good or bad for business.
@@bkohler89 not necessarily because it takes a variety of influences to shape the direction of your life. As the saying goes, "you become the ones you hang with the most". Or something to that effect.
They can't make golden content. The world is full of to pussies now. If they did one raw today and how they did one 20 years ago they would lose all sponsors.

Triple H is no doubt a student of the game. He sounds like knows more than he lets on. Vince needs to step down and let Hunter run the show.

I mean, i get it, wrestling is a shark tank, gadda do what ya gadda do to get to the top, its all part of 'the game' (lol).. but at least own up to it
I see why he had Heat now😄.
Those other wrestlers were Jealous because he was getting close to Vince
Most other wrestlers went and partied after they got done wrestling. Stone Cold said in a podcast that HHH would hardly ever drink. I can see why Vince could see something in him. Most of them would be hung over from drinking/partying night in and night out. HHH would be up early in the morning and I'm sure Vince took notice.
imagine how the business would look if he hadn't made the offer for vince to bounce ideas off of. it could be totally different.
I miss the old wrestling.Saturdays night main event.and when there was 1 big event a year.wrestlemania.now its watered down.greed destroys everything
people say a lot of shit about triple h but whatevs... this dude is one of the cornerstones of wwe and really became a student of the game. no shit but even his peers are saying that hes an excellent ring genereal, never stoppped learning and has discipline. good to know that trip still with us and wwe til the future.
YOUR FULL OF SHIT HES A LEACH,IM SURPRISED HES THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT OF MARRYING THAT WHORE TO STAY INSIDE AND A TOP THAT COMPANY.
@@jasonchandler2463 chill dude. whatever his agenda is, hes there already and about to inherit the company once the old mad is out
Paul is the man, despite how many haters he has and how many accusations against him about holding new talent back. If Taker likes him and respects him, so do I, which is why I also side with Vince on a lot of things. It's his company - if his workers don't like it, there's always other wrestling companies
Taker fan? I'm an HHH mark. Much respect to you for respecting The Game.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Vince Russo went to WCW to spite WWE and ended up destroying it 😂😂
Reborn As Jackals And then ended up in TNA and almost destroyed that too. Although admittedly he can’t be blamed for everything that happened there, most of it can be laid at the feet of Dixie Carter.
Vince Russo was a wwe plant purposely sent to WCW to sabotage it from the inside. Wake up lamb chops
@@Mr_T_Badger it would be funny if Russo and Dixie Carter had a kid, huh?
Triple H is the really one if the legit OGs. Along with McMahon, Undertaker, Hogan, Sting, Rock, and Cena. Really the rightful heir to the throne
My GOAT. 🎮🎮🎮
Every day Paul looks more and more like the villain from Ironman 1.
Best heel ever...I hated his character more than any other heel in the history of the WWF/WWE, I still hate him to this day...he did a phenomenal job.
Hahahaha. As a lifelong HHH mark, that means a lot.
Triple H is my fav wrestler of all time
When a lot of people talks about him, now you know HHH worked hard to earn the spot today. Respect to The Game
I have tromendous respect for you Paul Lavesque ie TripleH and Shawn Michaels by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Sounds like Vince groomed HHH to marry his daughter. Get him into the business etc. I can imagine like Steph saying one time "That Hunter guy is cool" and Vince goes "It shall be"
SO BASICALLY THANK YOU VINCE RUSSO FOR GETTING HHH AND STEPH TOGETHER
Man I wish I could have been around( of age) when HHH was going to these meetings I’d be waiting for him outside his hotel to be there for the meetings and be part of that.
Imagine having to wake up at the crack of 8 am
8/10 was an inside job poor bastard
I wonder how it would be having to go get Vinces permission or blessing to date and marry his daughter.
Has anyone ever asked HHH that question?
Yeah, right!!
I mean, seriously. Here's a fact, Shane McMahon is the son of Vince McMahon.
Brilliant .. really natural way Paul got into all this.
Great interview 👍👍
Cue Vince Russo commenting on this....
BRO
Yo Stoolies
Where is the full interview?
Very cool to hear his story on this.
"she was in college.... sounds terrible" lmao
One of my all time fav wrestlers
Put yourself out there, let management know you're hungry and available. Things will happen
Ah, now I know where some of his ridiculous title wins came from. Lol.
My thoughts exactly 🤣
Burying Booker T in their feud. Beating Brock Lesnar in a feud.
He put in the work behind the scenes
Growing up triple h was always my favorite wrestler. Still my top 5 for sure but Shawn Michaels took that spot. Watch mania 25 vs taker
I liked HBK a tiny bit (I first started watching in 92) and he became my default favorite. But once HHH debuted in the WWF in 95, it was a wrap for me. Shawn was #2 and HHH became my GOAT. Loved everything about all the evolutions of his character.
I rewatched those four WMs with Taker. The Shawn ones were ok. The HHH ones had me in tears.
just wondering how did Rock and SCSA became the face though Vince knew the value HHH was bringing on...Vince is a visionary indeed..... He kept HHH away from main events in WM as long as he had those two top dogs around - well, atleast most of the times!
Is that Chum Lee On the Left Of Triple H ?
I love how he makes 9 am sound so early. Bitch I get up at 7 everyday 💪
Jacob Reeves aye maybe it’s cause you don’t get slammed on a wooden mat 300 days out the year.
@@kgwestside4597 good point. But still, 9 am? Silly.
@R3dVega I love it
R3dVega you make 5 am sound so early . Bitch I get up at 3 am every morning 💪🏻 💪🏻 💪🏻
Because they finish really late, so it's probably like 16 hours a day
Triple h ughhh doing an interview ughhhh
Lmao
Well princess don't gargle on a burrito
where can we get this full version podcast ??
Spotify
"I think she was in college" lol
People give Hunter hard time that he married his way into the position today. Whether it's true or not, you can't deny Triple H's vision, decision & leadership in creating and managing NXT. He certainly knows what he's doing better than Vince.
Kratos anybody, missing Conan this could be his next shot at the movies.
HHH is better behind the scenes then an actual performer
Triple h looked like he was nervous they might ask him about china🤣🤣🤣
"ITS TIME TO PLAY THE GAME"
Where is more of this interview?
Shawn Gregory read the screen
I do like hunters suit collection.
Omg is so cute 🤗 now they're family awwwwww so cute
The who guy who left with Vince Russo, was it Jim Cornette?
where do u even buy such a wall decoration?😕
It’s custom made, likely for a reasonable price too.
They said he married for the money, as a super star, HHH does not receive a lot of money and go on spending sprees like buying multiple lambos and Bugatti. The most expensive thing he prolly owns is a Rolex that Austin advised him to get. HHH is all about business and what's good or bad for business.
Imagine if she would’ve married Andrew “Test” Martin instead of Hunter
Ya...she'd have a dead husband
bkohler89 woahhh
Steph would be a widow at 31 and Triple H would still gonna purpose to her eventually.
@@bkohler89 not necessarily because it takes a variety of influences to shape the direction of your life. As the saying goes, "you become the ones you hang with the most". Or something to that effect.
He may have laid off the roads a bit if Stephanie was testing his test pole
Wait till Vince McMahon becomes Wise McMahon in this upcoming war with AEW. You gonna see some golden content in next couple of years.
They can't make golden content. The world is full of to pussies now. If they did one raw today and how they did one 20 years ago they would lose all sponsors.
@0:28 oh , we know
Errr and Chyna was in the picture too fella!
Evryone's telling that triple h looks like kratos but nobody noticed that the anchor is the poor man's Rusev
Anchor is Jim Hopper
MrPerfect2000Z Ok.. He looks like a slim version of Rusev
Respect to all wwe! Family
After this I realized Triple H is probably the most influential talent in modern WWE history
The Tom Brady of pro wrestling.
