What a legend. Hoping he makes a full recovery 🙏
What's up man
He's done. He's accomplished everything and his body is hurting
Ok bot
He took the clot shot which lead to heart issues. He MAY recover in the short term, but definitely won't in the long term. That shot is going to mess so many people up in the future.
It’s from the vaccine
After the Scott Hall story I’m really glad HHH is still with us and well. One of the best to ever do it.
Everyones favorite era but he has 3 kids and he almost passed away. Its time for him to have an early retirement after all his work for the WWE brand.
I wish it would’ve been him that left instead of Scott hall
@@MrAnonymous389 I wanted Scott Hall to be still alive and Shannon "Daffney" too.
If trips did the amount of drugs and Alcohol Scott did he'd be gone too.
Guys, there's no need to disrespect Paul or Scott.. And it's insanely insensitive to wish death on anyone.
Love that Stephen treats the industry with respect, never need to point out that its scripted, etc. Its entertainment, its fun, and he gets that. Mad respect.
I noticed that too
Just like movies 🍿
These guys get beat up even if it’s scripted. It’s hard work and takes a special person to do it. One of my friends was a mid card guy and his knees are totally shot at 35. It’s tough on your body.
At this point, it's so redundant to point out that wrestling is entertainment. It would be like stopping an interview with a movie star to go "but this movie, like, you didn't actually shoot those spies did you? That was all fake, right?" Like duh, how stupid does someone have to be?
@@urcookin thank you. Nothing makes me more upset than when people call these guys fake when they suffer insane long term pain week after week. Just because the outcome is determined doesn’t make pain not effect you. It’s such a stupid statement that I’m glad you pointed out
Watching H get emotional so suddenly brings you right down to earth. - Seeing someone so tough, get emotional so easily is a reminder that we're all human. You're a legend H.
My man kicked out at 2. His own heart couldn't beat him, what a champ lol. Thanks for the memories, Triple H! One of the best to ever step foot in the ring, all the blood, sweat, and tears throughout the years, thank you!
His heart was scheduled to win, but HHH got his old trusty shovel out from his reign of terror days, promptly put himself over, & buried that sucker!
All joking aside - I’m sad that his in-ring career is now over, but I’m happier that he survived his health scare and is moving forward with being the best husband and father to his family and the best executive possible for the WWE.
Amen
@@masatoshik870 😊💯
One, two, thre…
THE GAME IS NOT OVER YET FOLKS!
HHH was lifeless on the mat and kicked out from instinct alone.
What a legend!
WYHATTT
After losing Scott Hall, I'm so glad HHH made it out of this one. His career speaks for itself. He's one of the greatest of all time. Health is #1. And I hope he stays healthy for a long time.
🙏
I think Scott Hall influenced Paul Levesque’s decision to retire, he has a family of 3 kids to think about.
I was just saying that we almost lost triple h right after Scott I don't think we could have gotten through that one Scott's death hit really hard
Hoping he plays Kratos in a GoW movie.
Also for people who don't know Scott and H were very close friends. Maybe not as close as Scott and Nash. But almost.
5:30 as a parent I'm feeling this so hard! You don't cry because you're afraid of death, you cry because you're afraid you'll never see your kids again :'(
WHAT?
@@cuzbizkets3631 why are you saying what?????
Amen 🙏
I'm not even a parent but the thought of being in a life or death situation with young kids to raise makes me tear up as well.
Not just that, but also the effect it will have on them.
I already liked Stephen A., but honestly after this interview, lots more respect. He treated wrestling with lots of respect as an entertainment brand and never once brought up it being staged or scripted
W.
SAS understands scripted doesn't mean fake. Predetermined outcome doesn't mean stunt doubles are out there landing on cushions. These are real men and women hitting, kicking, and throwing each other around on a wood canvas. Knowing what's coming doesn't mean it doesn't hurt 300 days a year, for the 27 years he was active.
@@Speedyreedy1218 Perfectly summed it up !
@@MN_2003 ❤️❤️❤️
Umm the NBA MLB NFL plus some college TV games are scripted too & ESPN! ESPN (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network)
it's the most demanding sport on the human body, other than mma
The era now truly has ended 💔, HHH goes down in history an all time great, the cerebral assassin, the game, the king of kings but more importantly the legend! 👑
Wrong.
Edge is still wrestling. And Christian. And the Hardys.
@@sjdhgydhfyrn1023 only one of them is still with WWE sadly
Randy 🤦🏽♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It ended but not really cuz we still got the return of stone cold, brock, edge, and in aew sting, jericho, dustin and sometimes billy… once those names are gone itll truly be over
I’m glad he’s ok man couldn’t imagine losing this guy
Neither of us could
Yea thank God he's ok 🌹
Fr.
Esp after Scott Hall😥...R.i.p🙏🏽
I could imagine it, why could I not ??
One of Steven A’s best interviews.
I’m so glad he’s ok. Sucks we won’t get to see him pick his last match but the important part is he’s ok.
Don't care what anyone says, Triple H is and will always be considered one of the all-time greats in professional wrestling.
Roman Reigns is better
@@Playboi.2way That's a good one 🤣
The most overpushed wrestler of all time but I still don't wish this on him.
@@Playboi.2way triple H is better then Roman
@Dingle berry McDo his finisher is a punch and a move used by countless other wrestlers. Hes alright but he ain't no HHH
As a nursing student, listening to The Game saying his ejection fraction was at 30%, then 22% AND then 12% is extremely scary OMG!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God he’s still with us. IS ALL ABOUT THE GAME AND HOW YOU PLAY IT!!
What does that all mean to a noob?
I as a doctor ,it scared me too..
@@chakivang8586 It means that the heart muscle is damaged and weak because of the heart attack he suffered months ago. That's why he has a defibrillator in the chest. The defibrillator will detect and stop irregular heartbeats.
@@paraisoinformativo is defibrillator a pacemaker?
@@srv.stf_ make Google your best friend🙄😐
This man was apart of my childhood growing up. Wrestling will forever give me great memories. To hear Triple H went thru that made me cry honestly. Triple H is truly a warrior inside and outside the ring. I havent met triple H but I know him thru wrestling for 30 years. I hope God watch over him and his family seriously. Get well Big Guy and stay strong Triple H👍
Amen
😭😭 same here die hard fan …their is a reason I watch wwe that’s triple h
Read between the lines. These guys are telling us without telling us they are vaccine injured.
waat
@@ishumadan1678 😭😭😭 Same this man is and will always be my GOAT.
Just thinking about how Triple H teared-up talking about his daughters and how close he came to checking out reminds me of how we lost the Ultimate Warrior who looked so happy and peaceful at the WWE HOF and was so proud of his daughters not knowing that he would be gone in just a few days. I'm happy that the doctors were able to catch the problem in time and that he is able to bounce back from it.
Warrior's passing away was such a shocker 💔
I think wrestling fans discredit Triple H career because he married into the McMahon family but make no mistake about it, Triple H is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He’s done so much for this sport and I’ll miss seeing him inside the ring. I hope the man stays healthy and hopefully next year he will get his solo Hall-Of-Fame induction.
Greatest at burying real talent, yeah.
@@andylarkin5779 He did put over so many wrestlers such as Benoit, Orton, Reigns, Cena, Batista, Bryan. Even helped wrestlers who came back such as Hogan, HBK, and Flair and finally not to mention his work with NXT.
@@69blahblah69 ya but there were plenty of people that said it was very hard to work with him, and he buried a lot of talent. Like CM Punk, Goldberg, Mick Foley, Zack Ryder etc
@@69blahblah69 besides ever since 2009 2010 WWE went into the toilet
@@justincrediblefantasy8263 wouldn’t say he buried Mick Foley, replace him on that list w booker T who was done DIRTY
I've been saying for YEARS that Stephen A. would be one of the greatest heel managers of all time.
Holla Holla
Stephen A with Omos? With vignettes of him blocking all Stephen A's shots and playing against NBA players on Raw every few weeks.
Fact's 💯💯💯
This hit me in the feels. Thanks for everything Triple H. The Game is never over.
That's right. Pain is Temporary. The Game is Forever.
To be clear, a 99% blockage doesn't come "out of nowhere". He survived what most people never survive, and kudos to his doctor and those around him.
What causes blockage? And second could you still have a heat attack w out high blood pressure or enlargement and a normal amount of blockage? Like can it happen randomly too even if your hearts in great shape?
whaT
Money buddy.
Roids
Diet
At the end when Stephen A says "I'm happy you're here" and Triple H responds with "I'm happy you're here" both men battling for their lives in the hospital within the last year. Hit me hard not going to lie.
Me too man
I saw that too. This whole interview upset me. Not gonna lie. Glad HHH and Stephen A are healthy.
@@childeharold3550 no need to be upset, unfortunately the fact of life is everyone dies. Be happy these two are still here
I am glad HHH is ok, but I had to look up Stephen Smith COVID issues. I had COVID and ended up in the hospital around the same time. Pneumonia in my lungs, but the one difference was my blood sugar was spiked, and I was an unknowing diabetic. Nothing like a 6 day hospital stay to make you change your perspective. And like Stephen, I am vaccinated to.
What happened to Stephen?
Triple H gave it ALL to the wrestling business. So inspiring and an absolute GOAT. He was the best when wrestling was at its best. No one could compete with this man's work ethic and grind. There are those who will never understand his greatness. He wasn't the most naturally gifted but he made everything out of what he did have. Thank you to THE GAME for showing us what is possible in each of us.
I love Triple H, without a doupt one of the greats, he lived breathed eat sleep the business, but in wrestling no one is officially retired, maybe one more match for the great Triple H 👏
@@trevorcarey3997 I hope he can be healthy enough that he could do that. Dude has come back from so so many injuries over the years. I'm sure the mind and will is strong. But the physical heart is another matter.
He was a great heel for guys like Rock and Austin, he was not limited to that role but he was needed to help them shine, I liked him cuz I loved to hate him
I agree .”The Game” was always one of my favorites in the ring . One of the best heels ever . When he would get into a storyline, him alone would keep your interest by how he played that character and worked that storyline. I am glad him and Shawn Michaels created DX because we probably would’ve never gotten a chance to see not just his talent in the ring, but on the Mic as well . That Englishman HHH character that he was before DX was created, would’ve bombed and failed miserably. He wouldn’t have become a hall of famer and legend if that wouldn’t have reworked his character into the Game . He really took the ball and ran with it, after Shawn took that time off because he had surgery and created his own identity outside of Shawn , the clic , or anyone else . Evolution was genius as well . It helped put Ric Flair back on the map and helped catapult the legendary career of Randy Orton , and Batista . I will hate not being able to see him step back into the ring on occasion, but I am number 1, he is healthy. Side note I hope Stephen A does do some business with Wwe one day. It would be very exciting to see. He is a character people love to hate and punch as Triple H said. Lol!!! I hope they make that happen.
Him and his golden shovel....sledgehammer, need to be in the HOF forreal bro 😂
Triple H will always be a huge part of my life. He is a household name. Thank you for all the matches, the spinebusters, the pedigrees, the suck it’s, everything. I love this man with all my heart. Thank you Paul.
The passion this man has for the wrestling business and its future, regardless of anything else, is sincere. He knows theres still work to be done right now to find the talent to carry on.
It’s crazy how good wrestlers play their role, that you tend to forget that at the end of the day they’re just normal people. Glad he’s doing better! God be with him and his loved ones!
Same with celebs
The fact that they do it for like 20-30 years is insane to be honest. They do crazy stuff to their bodies.
I can only imagine how much abuse he’d have got if social media existed around 1999-2002. Played that heel role to perfection 16 year old me would stay up for every PPV (1am start for us in the UK) certain that each one would be the one he loses the title yet somehow he didn’t. Hated him for it but the older me appreciates that it wasn’t ‘him’
Very true
@@305Solo oof would been bad
He played the game, he has beaten the game, he will always be the game!
Thanks, H!

The wear n tear these wrestlers put their bodies through is unbelievable
As much as fans may have hated Triple H when he was a professional wrestler dominating WWE, fast forward 20 years later, that hatred has turned into love and admiration... I'm sure I speak for many when I say we love you Triple H... We're glad you're still here with us
Anyone else have that sinking feeling in your stomach? Thank you Triple H 🥺
Yep and it don't feel good
I think my dad passed away from the same thing I think. I can relate to that.
My heart was beating like I had anxiety for him it was 😢
@@jaheimwilliams591 we we rf rn my
@@josephcoyle1078 roids also played a factor too
I'm glad he is doing good. My family history is heart troubles, high blood pressure and diabetes. My dad was 47 when he died in 1973 due to a genetic issue with his heart. I'm 71 now. Prayers for HHH and his family.
Was it aortic dissection?
@@KvnDWr no. We didn't find out until after daddy passed his aorta looked like it was collapsing. His cardiologist was planning on doing surgery in February of 1974 but daddy died on November the 3rd in 1973.
I'm sorry to hear that. Are there symptoms?
@@deathdrop1 I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost both my father and grandmother to aortic dissection over the last 7 years. You may want to get checked for it if he had genetic aorta issues.
Helluva interview . Great questions from Stephen. And his level of respect for the business is great to see.
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME. This man is on real GOAT levels. Anyone who grew up mid to late 90's through to the 2000's will remember the unbelievable entertainment he was responsible for.
To see how choked up he got talking about it got me right in the feels! Grew up watching him! Thank you Triple H for all the great memories and things you have done for us fans and wrestling in a whole!
Triple H sucks
He says you’re welcome
@@jeffdougherty9010 Come on, dude, that's not needed. Take how you feel about the wrestler out and just look at the person...
@@jeffdougherty9010 he did his character perfectly then... greatest heel to ever live. Game over.
@@jeffdougherty9010 you’re a miserable nobody.
I'm so glad that Triple H is still alive. The world does not need to lose another great wrestler especially after we just lost Scott Hall. As Jim Ross said many times "Whether you love him or you hate him, it's irrelevant". Triple H has a very impressive accolades: 14 time world champion, 2 time Royal Rumble winner, King of the Ring, second grand slam winner, just to name a few. The guy has been in a lot of great moments, been in 6 different factions, had some of the best Wrestlemania entrances, and is the only one that wrestled against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 3 times.
yeah it’s crazy how they didn’t mention their first match in any of the buildups to their best matches
Fck all those accolades. They mean nothing.
This guy entertained us for years since we were kids. Definitely has our respect and holds a place in our hearts for the countless memories he's given us.
If he had 0 titles or 0 wins he'll still be just as amazing.
@@iseerashonal821 without those accolades, he wouldn't be the same person as he is today.
@@t2kredman facts
@@t2kredman wrestling fans don't remember how many times the wrestlers have a title. Anyone can win a title as it's scripted. U remember how many time the rock had titles? Or how many times flair lost a match?
None of this matters. Theyre few as entertaining as them
Thank you Triple H for all the years you put on the best show possible for all the fans. I've had congestive heart failure for 7 years and last August I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I haven't let it stop me from enjoying life and it's made me stronger, happier and more relaxed. Thanks for sharing your health issues and being a strong role model for people everywhere
Keep going strong respect
Thanks for sharing. I hope you both continue to get better.
My father passed away this way came home was alil sick found out he had the emonia fluid in his lungs liver was failing had a heart attack in hospital froze most his body to keep him alive thru alot of prayer he made it out the hospital a year later had to do daily dialysis,then the day before he was gonna go into heart surgery to get what HHH has in his heart he passed away,I'm happy to know he was saved,before that happen and is still very much alive in heaven,I hope HHH is prepared the same way,for eternity!
May your Father rest Peacefully in Heaven im so sorry to hear this
@@princealmighty5391 thank you man forreal! especially for taking the time to say what you said!may God bless you and your family abundantly!
This guy made it so cool to take a swig of water and spit it right back out. Much love, Paul, and I am glad you are able to put your health first.
One thing we can never doubt is Triple H's passion for the wrestling business. Probably one the most passionate there is. Happy he's on the mend and that he's okay.
@Bob Smith Oh grow up will ya
he's passionate about his career in the wrestling business. that would be a better way to put it he's done too many questionable things to make me believe what you said.
Imagine living in 2022 without these two. Thank God HHH and Stephen A are okay the sports world wouldve been totally different. 🙏🏿💪🏾
Triple hhh has been my favorite wrestler since about 1998, love this dude and what he has done for wrestling is legendary. I’m so happy he made it through and I pray for his continued health.
How many “H’s” does he have in his name?
HHH was the perfect heel in the Attitude era. Good to see him doing better.
Vince McMahon was better heel then him but I'm glad he is okay
@@raymondthomas1574 what a stupid comment
@@FTW666NY 🤣🤣🤣
@Raymond Thomas what is the point of your comment?
@@FTW666NY you stupid so shut up nobody asked you to comment on this post
He was one of the best heels in wwe history. So good to the point I hated him so much. But that’s how well he played his role in the wwe. Truly a legend and I respect him so much as a person and praise him for all that he’s done for the sport
Triple h is a legend and icon I remember I had a crush on him he was a fighter and my favorite wrestler of all time he was a bad guy and good guy two match that I remember I remember when he throw mankind off the top of the he'll in a cell in to the ring I remembered when he set up stone cold out to the parking lot and the uso father ran stone cold over with the car people love him and hate him he was a bully he jumped people because he can well Triple h we all love you and we all going to miss you so much
Jim Ross made HHH sound like the most diabolical man on the planet.
@@stinger5127 big reason why when triple h went to smackdown Jim Ross did too cuz he really made him feel like that guy
This guy was so good at being a heel! I actually hated his guts as a kid 😂 great to see him doing better
Gotta say I'm impressed with this interview from Stephen A Smith. I've always loved pro wrestling and HHH was always one of my favorites but this was a side of SAS I've never seen before. Much respect to him and so happy HHH is still alive and kicking!
what?
It hits very differently to see Paul so vulnerable in this interview. A real legend. Game changer. Wishing him the best.
Paul?? PAUL??? Is he your friend? Did you go to the same school as him? Have some blasted respect and call him Triple H,The Game😡
@@icanseeyourfuture8674 that wasn't the wrestling character HHH talking. Lol.
Love it when Hunter starts talking about wrestling. It got slightly emotional for him when he started talking about his family and his kids. Above all im just happy that he’s doing great and recovering well. Gutted that we will never see Triple H competing in a ring again but he has given us so many great matches and we could never thank him enough for that.
Omg thank God hunter is fine . I pray for him to be happy n healthy. May he live forever ... He's a legend and we need him .
That interview put a huge smile on my face! One of the best!
Not gone lie, I teared up fr. Grateful to this man for all he's done.
Same here. Triple H and that whole DX swag was my childhood
I think you'd have to be dead inside not to be moved by the part where he talks about potentially not seeing his children again
I'm so very glad that he's okay.. Legit teared up myself when he did. People always give him slack for marrying into the business, but the man paid his dues. He really has a passion for this business and by building up NXT, he gave back a ton as well. Stay happy and healthy HHH!
Agreed. I am very glad that he is okay
Don’t forget his version of nxt was the best version either. He knows the business. Was a lil selfish with his career? Of course. But besides guys like taker, who wasn’t?
That is true… wrestling is his life.
He says thank and it’s ok to cry. All women do.
He loves this business I can see why he married into it
Love watching Stephen A switch between entertainer and all-around good guy, you can tell they have a friendship outside of the studio to some extent and it was a great interview stay healthy HHH
I love his interactions with Kevin Hart and Shaq…they give SAS the business 😂😂😂
grew up watching this man ever since i was a little boy, loved him as a villain on WWE, one of my fav wrestlers of all time!!!
It´s weird to see Triple H so chill and mellow. He was one of the most intense, crazy wrestlers back in the day. Defo appreciate all the great memories and fun times you have given us sir!

Like Kobe and Brady...........I couldn't stand HHH, but I have mad respect for him. He was one of the best to do it!
I didn't know that we almost lost him, but it's good to see that he's alive and well. His retirement from WWE is something most people understand and are comfortable with!! Be there for your family HHH 🐐🐐🐐🐐
I wouldn't go that far to say he's the best that ever did it but seeing a guy like trips that was build like a OX that we all seen on TV growing up going through those serious heart conditions is pretty sobering. I'm glad he managed to get help that he clearly needed and the guy had a great wrestling career. It's probably why trips is no longer in control of NXT anymore bc of his health issues.
@@gunnyo50 he can agree that he was one of the best tho!!
That reign of terror was absolutely painful as a kid

To see how far Paul has gone from his early days in WCW to now - it's amazing. May he continue to keep going, in whatever venue he chooses to go.
Glad you're still with us Triple H! I'm forever greatful for all the great moments you gave us in the ring through the years! Have a wonderful time in retirement!
WHAT???
Big props to hhh for giving this interview, and being real and human about his own health 🙏
Triple H is one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. He was always a consistent performer and he gave it all he had every night in the ring. He never shorted the fans with his performances. I’m glad he’s retiring before it’s too late.
HHH is such a legend. Have us everything he had in the ring and continues to give us everything he has behind the curtain. He's earned all of his success and respect from all wrestling fans. The King of Kings. 👑♠️
HHH in-ring is not just about the title. HHH outside the ring is not just the suit. From their words, he is the guy you would love to respect, AND hit in the face, and still respect.
WHAT
I’m sad Triple H won’t get to retire on his own terms but I’m just happy he’s still here. His health is what counts.
I really hope they give him kind of end of Raw retirement ceremony like Ric Flair got. I am not emotionally ready though for him, HBK, and Nash to do the Kliq salute for Scott Hall.
He has the poke then gets Hart problems ........... This is happening to so many people after having the poke
I grew up with Triple H. He was the greatest heel in my lifetime but the few times he wasn't a heel were great as well. I'm so glad he is coming through the health scare. I'm glad he is retiring, family is most important. He is a beloved figure in wrestling and he can give so much more as an executive. Show up at wrestlemania to say hi to the fans. I still remember DX and man he was great in the ring. HHH
Bringing back memories
Once a legend, always a legend. Get well soon Triple H. Stay safe and Take care.
Hoping for a full recovery. I’m a single father of a little girl so I understand the scariness of going under for surgery. I was in tears thinking about what I could leave behind during my surgery last year. Puts things in perspective real quick. Good to see him in much better heath! Prayers 🙏
Its never easy watching a larger than life athlete break down when he's trying to talk life and family. Near death health issues can bring even the biggest person down.
Can’t lose HHH, that was our childhoods … he sacrificed for this
I barely helped myself when he was close to breaking down about his family handling the whole thing.
As someone who watched intently every week during the 90s and 00s. I was so into the sport. I loved Stone Cold and the Rock, they were my favorites, I hated HHH. He was the perfect villain. Looking back, imo HHH has been more important for the WWE than those 2 combined. He has truly embraced the sport and helped grow it! Thank you HHH!!
whaaaaaat
During old school of Raw and Smackdown Triple H was the BEST. His WWE career was astounding. 👏👏👏
I love this man. I'm glad he's ok now, I can't imagine him passing right now. After losing his good friend Scott Hall, I don't blame him for being done in the ring.
So thankful he's still here. Nothing but respect for putting his family, and health first. May he live, and make memories, for many years to come.
Triple H earned my respect despite being the bosses daughter’s hubby. He had some very epic matches in the cage with Taker and Mankind. Glad he made it through. Kudos to his development program bringing through so many talents
Absolutely great interview by SAS. He showed great respect to the industry and asked all the questions we wanted to know.
Triple H is arguably one of the most reliable guys on the wwe roster. the go to heel/face during the attitude era for Rock or Austin especially when one or the other is busy with something else. the man that gave pro-wrestling fans the black and gold NXT that brought attention to up and coming indy talent, and reminded the wwe universe what the second w in wwe means
Thank you for all the great memories. There a special bondage between fans and talents. Only the best for yourself and your family.
Paul is in absolutely phenomenal physical shape, the man is an absolute beast. To think that even the healthiest of healthy men can suffer from impairments like that...dont take your life for granted. Tomorrow is not promised
Facts. You can do everything right in life. But family medical history is so important. The further back you can go, the better. You'd be surprised how many healthy people end up having certain cancers, auto immune diseases etc. Something they've unknowingly been predisposed to because of being a gene carrier of a certain trait that's hereditary.
Glad to see Triple H getting better and healthy again.
Sadly he won’t wrestle again
@@Frankieefootballmundial very true but we were lucky to enjoy his WWE career from 1992 - 2021
@@cinecraze6240 I agree with you 💯
@@Frankieefootballmundial I am happy for his retirement and his health and his life is more important than his wrestling career, he has done it all 💯
@@attitudetv92 he has classic matches with everyone. Of course I would love to see a send off match. But the End of Era match vs The Undertaker I considered he last true in ring full time competitive match and everything after was icing on the cake .
12:55 "It's not that one, it's this one over here that you're not looking that that just won't take NO for an answer".
You know, at this moment, Triple H and all of us were thinking of Daniel Bryan rising up shouting YES at the point he is making.
💯💯💯 and most importantly it's work ethic. First one in the gym and last one out. Showing up no matter rain or shine. Taking an L and keeping it moving. The Rock & Cena never once believed they "weren't" a star...they kept reaching for the moon and are now stars. You can say The Rock got a little help from Vince but look what happened to Nia Jax his relative? She got fired for being a spoiled brat and hurting others in the ring. Lastly, it's about timing and skill which equals "Luck". If you're around when 6 other stars are around...you might get the lower end of the stick. The Rock & Stone Cold rose to fame when their stable was trash. You can call that LUCK! 🍀
I though Seth Rollins, he meant.
Or Becky
I didn’t even think about Daniel Bryan 😂🤣
Triple H is a real painted clown.
I’m going to miss the game being in ring and I’m glad he pulled through his surgeries. Thank you for all the memories!!
Shout out to you triple H. We're not trying to lose another legend. Glad that you're still with us
❤❤❤
So glad he's looking healthy, and hope this man is around for many more years. 🙏
A little over three years ago, I thought I was having a heart attack. Thankfully, it turned out to only be a lung infection which was treatable with antibiotics, and I was in and out of the hospital inside of a day. Yet, the memory of getting into the back of that ambulance and seeing my two young children with tears in their eyes just changed my perspective of life from that moment forward. I am happy to see HHH as healthy as he is right now. As a fan, I wish for him to get back to business (behind the scenes) as much as possible as the WWE needs him. As a fellow human being, I sincerely hope he will be allowed whatever time he feels is necessary to continue recovering while also enjoying time with Steph and their three daughters. Yes, these are cliches, but tomorrow is not promised today and we do not get yesterday back. Cherish today! Live and breathe each moment...take it all in and be thankful for it all.
God bless you , glad you are doing okay and your recovery went well ! Bless your family xxx big love from England

Thank you paul for making my childhood awsome.. all the best to you and family going forward and hope you recover quick and have no more health issues.. we the fans are grateful for everything you have done in the wrestling industy 💪❤
Wonderful interview, between two people who not only care about the wrestling business but that see the humanity in each other. Much respect!
❤❤❤
Seeing Triple H mature from the degenerate in DX to a mature and successful businessman and father has been a pleasure. One of the very best to do it. Congratulations on your retirement.
Great interview, pure emotion from the king. So disappointed he won't get that retirement match but I'm so glad he's doing ok and is still with us. Take care big man
True but like you said at least he’s with it us. 🙏wishing him all the best. The memories he created for us will forever be cherished.
I suppose that means Triple H’s final match was also Batista’s final match.
His last match was actually teaming with Shinsuke Nakamura, which will be an interesting tidbit for the ages
@@XxIanxX Not his final match, his last televised match was with Orton but his last was at a house show.
He ain't no king so get that out of your stick skull
This man came from an era where Wrestlers/superstars took complete pride and seriousness in what they did and what they presented to us fans. So this means a lot for him to be well
Triple H has always and will always be my favorite, grew up with him Stone Cold, The Rock, Taker, Foley, Kane but Tripes always screamed GOAT, for me, loved watching him win and loved watching him get over thrown, going over clean over The Game was the mark of a true win. Thankful you're still here and can't wait to see where you take WWE in future, thank you Hunter
Forever my goat as well!
He’s been my favorite since I first laid eyes on him back in 96 . it doesn’t get any better than the game . He’s my 🐐 too
@@prettylaurynn Similar for me. Started liking HBK a tiny bit (mainly attire reasons. Thought his gear was cute). Once HHH debuted in 95, I had a crush on him and have been a lifelong fan ever since. Loved everything: Gear, Ring style, presence, look, character, his passion, intensity, entrance, humor, his homage to the legends that influenced him, etc. The Game is the ultimate personification of what pro wrestling should be and represent. There will be another. ❤❤❤
Pure Emotion from one of the GOATS 🐐
Triple H. Man this guy was a huge part of my childhood. Hope he lives forever. Hated this guy as a kid lol. One of the greatest of any generation.
Same the best villains get my respect when I got older lol
Seriously if not the best villains, one of the best.
@@donnyyasu2764 him and edge are my top 2
@@labcabinsandiego7839 best heel IMO. His work/promos with rock , Austin, hbk & mick was amazing ! How could you not hate hhh as a kid after finding out he ran Austin over lol
@@MR.__G I was watching when Evolution started with Batista, Orton, and Ric flair. Looking back at it my god. All legends. I hated them so much cuz my favorite wrestler was Goldberg and they messed him up haha
2 Legends in the same interview. Just amazing ☺️
I’m so glad Triple HHH is feeling better, looking good champ
It's crazy to think about where this man was in 2002 vs 2022. 2002 is when I started watching WWE weekly when I was 9 and Triple H was a few months away from his reign of terror and then he was the biggest heel for 3 years. I've never been a huge fan but still crazy looking back and seeing how he's done in ring.
He became the biggest heel the 2nd half of 1999. More specifically after he “crippled” Austin at SummerSlam.
@@KrusteyDaKlown yeah but I think its pretty agreeable that the prime of him as a heel was 2002-2005 when he was world champion. Half of 2006 he was cooling down and then turned face but those 3 years he was the top heel.
Peek glory days of wrestling was 99-01. You just missed it. Dramatic, wild and compelling. Words that can't be used to describe wrestling in decades. If you'd seen HHH at his peak you'd understand how legendary he is. He was never the same after the 1st injury.
The Cerebral Assassin, The King of Kings, The Game, Tripleeeeeeeeee H! Thank you for a 25+ year career. All the memories, all the moments and all the matches. We all love you! Keep well and stay safe Hunter!
My Man almost cried 🥺
Thank You Triple H ❤️
Thanks for every step in that ring and outside ❤️
Glad we've you still
Thanks for the memories.
A top man, a genuine guy.
It's all about the game and how you play it.
❤❤❤
This is very touching interview. Much respect for Triple H.
One of the greatest villains in WWE history. Much respect to The Game!
This was awesome, great conversation between these two.
4 months later BACK better than ever 🙏. Thank you S. A. for this one, and what a moment for 2 legends to share one of the most important interviews of our time together 🙏 👑
