This Triple H guy looks like he really needs a bottle of water
Nah you think so? He looks like he’ll spit it out and shower himself with it.
He seems like he’ll take someone’s head off when he tosses it
He so damn hydrated
yeah.. for his game.
Tbh in this video he didn't seem much dehydrated. He looked more when he was in the ring
I love how Triple H comes out and immediately goes in for some boo's. He really was/is a great heel.
GOATS doing GOAT things. 🎮⚒🧠👑
nobody comes close to hot rod tho.....
@@tomscott3 I disagree.
@@tomscott3 well punk hhh the rock do come close when they were heels
@@HelpmeHelpYou-1992 CM punk isn’t nowhere near being the greatest the heel of all time let alone one of the GOAT’s come on now
He and orton are the most natural heels I've seen.
I agree 💯
What are heels?
@@jine7123 Heel means a "bad guy" in wrestling terms.
@@bru7alism ｔｙ!
Edge n million dollar man were better imo
When I was younger, I used to think Triple H was his real name.
It's not? 😲😧
Michael Chan His real name is actually Paul Levesque, Hunter Hearst Helmsley was also a stage name.
I mean I used to think that was his actual first name. Triple H. Like I used to think "Triple H" was a person's name when I was younger for some reason.
@@YLS8763 ohh so thats why he's called triple H.. i thought it didnt mean anything.
@@YLS8763 r/woooosh
Walks in and immediately starts cutting a heel promo on Conan. What a legend.
1:50 "I am jerk backstage" the irony of what Ellen must go being going through, thank god Conan keeps it real
He was actually very cool and natural on here. He would have been good as an action movie actor.
They tried that..
I'll never understand why people would love or hate an actor or an actress based on the roles they played (or in this case a "performer" on stage).
@@wisdomleader85 We are living in the world, where Abby's voice actor from TLOS2 got death threats over what her character did in a video game, so you know, people...
Yall must of not seen blade
Triple H actually had the opportunity to go into mainstream Hollywood the same time The Rock did, but opted not to because he wanted to continue wrestling instead of choosing to become an actor. This was in his documentary.
i love how HHH is still trying to get heat here..lol
GOATS doing GOAT things. #Committed
WARNING I am the unprettiest human YTer worldwide. Take the hint, dear mart
This guy took the bad guy persona and owned it. Made the audience dance in his fingers. One of the best heels ever.
🐐🐐🐐
I love how as soon as the show started, they immediately started grilling each other...this talk show is one of a kind.
Bad, good, alone, tag team, DX... Triple H has always been one of my all times favorite.
Same!
This is one of my favorite late night interviews ever! I always love when Conan and Triple H do an interview together. Triple H is a great Guest and Conan is one of if not THE greatest late night host. They just flow so well together.
He said he's a big fan, so he probably loves Conan. He seemed so comfortable, like if he's chilling with Conan at home.
Back when everyone knew it was scripted, and during conversations kind of implied that they play characters but no one directly stated it. Perfect time to be a fan
Back when everyone was relatively normal.
@shutup Nostalgia is one hell of a bitch.
U were never normal
@Ok Boomer ur on social media
@Ok Boomer Nah, it just gave people a better way to show how messed up we all really are. Social media is doing nothing but bringing it out for everyone to see, where as before we didn't quite have the outlet for people to show their true stupidity lol.
@Erik Lerström yeah but it wasn't so worse
This Triple H guy has really good hair I hope he doesn’t shave it off in the future. In a way I had a feeling I would a good amount of likes but wow definitely didn’t expect this much. Thank you everyone!!!
Well ... he’s bald now
Yuhan Perera I know lol I was being sarcastic
gosh, there are ALWAYS stupid ppl don't getting the joke.... :D
krazyy okay my bad 😂 Imma take the L on that one
White Wolf Ozy 😂🤦🏻♀️
Aww, seeing Triple H like this sure does bring back good times in the WWE attitude era. Man, I miss those childhood moments. I miss the 90s. 😞😞😞
Yes, yes, yes.
I really like this dude. Hope someday he runs this wrestling business.
What are you smoking?
Dont mind me just waiting for the whoosh
if you had told me, back in the day, that the blue blood HHH would be the next Jack Tunney, well sir, I would gonna slapped you silly.
if vince ever dies he will!
Funny, I've never not hated him. And I don't mean his character, I mean him. The person. He's a douche bag, always has been, always will be. Everyone who's ever met him has a horrible story to tell about him.
Damn, Triple H seems like a genuinely nice guy. Plus very intelligent. Thanks for the great job, Triple H.
Hell no
🎮⚒🧠👑
He cheated on someone so...not that great
@@nudlpoop2043 No he didn't.
@@dranzerjetli5126 Hell yes.
That Trippy guy seems like he's got a future in the business.
I bet he's from Tripp-oli
Yeah, sounds like he'll start his own wrestling business or something down the line
Who knows he could maybe be in the hall of fame one day. But let’s not get our hopes up.
😂😂😂😂😂
This is from 20 years ago, but yeah.
Back when storylines are good and no spoilers in wrestling episodes
Oh their were spoilers at this time as well. Just weren't as easy to access or find. They used to live off the underground. Now the spoiler guys train to be as dominating as they can be social media platforms. While the fans of today pretty suck ass as a whole, the Meltzer's and Keller's have crippled the business.
Eric Bischoff spoiled raw all the time lol
@@sukhdeepbutty2399 not what he was talking about, but yeah that's true as well.
Oh man I thought this meant that HHH was gonna be on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.
@@BenTIStudios I am talking about channels like Wrestletalk, PWInsider, etc.
Plus spoilers from WWE themselves about returns, etc. That what I meant. Sorry for the misinterpretation.
I legit hated HHH for about a good year. But years later in retrospect that just showed me how great a heel HHH actually was. One of the best heels in the history of pro-wrestling. HHH is now doing great things building and creating now in the WWE. Conan should invite Hunter back some time especially with SummerSlam weekend coming up.
I loved HHH. his Heal Turn was great. unlike Big Show and his contanst Heel Turns and ripping off the red shirt to reveal the blue and vise versa.
I swear I saw that like 5 different times.
@@Ravathiel #Respect from a lifelong HHH mark. 👊🏽
LOL same. I was a teen during the Attitude Era and back then I always hated Triple H as a performer (not just as a kayfabe character). I thought he was overrated, overexposed, and only got to his main event position through backstage politicking and dating Stephanie.
Then years later when they launched the WWE Network I went back and rewatched a bunch of his matches, and I thought to myself: "HHH was always an amazing wrestler, you idiot. You were just a mark getting worked by a guy so good at heel psychology that he tricked you into thinking you hated him for real."
The Cerebral Assassin indeed. Bravo, Hunter.
His real life Heel turn was way worse
If you had seen the back stage stuff on the DVD after that match that he spoke of with Mick Foley...when they start stitching him up, the first thing he said was, “Find my parents and tell them that I am OK.” He is a very different person than he projects.
Triple H had the audience in the palm of his hand here.
GOAT heel.
I love how when they went from calling him hunter to triple h he turned into one of the most badass wrestlers ever
He called himself Triple H in December 1995 once, during and interview with Brother Love promoting the upcoming Royal Rumble. But from 1997 on, it was relatively consistent (on-screen anyway) that people called him Triple H.
Backstage however, HBK always called him Triple H ever since he joined the WWF and the Kliq.
The natural chemistry these two have xD
When triple h got up and took his shirt off Conan really did look scared
who wouldnt..
I think triple h wasn't kidding when he did that and Conan knew that
Jacket you mean
@@jakebradford4272 definitely joking. He wouldn't come on a comedian's talk show to threaten him for making fun of him
@@hattthecat exactly....Gotta accept HHH is damn good with his acting skills
Paul is a legitimately funny dude. He is a great actor when it comes to his WWE persona. His commitment to being the best heel is what catapulted storylines with The Rock, Steve Austin, etc.
I love that Hunter is naturally charismatic and funny. The Cerebral Assassin indeed
I've been rewatching the Attitude Era on the WWE Network lately, and I just watched this interview, it's a huge coincidence that they reuploaded this just recently. This was definitely the peak of wrestling especially this year 2000. And this was Triple H at his absolute best! He is truly the greatest of all time!
He's nowhere near the greatest of all time, definitely top 20 in wwe though, maybe top 10 at a stretch
He's my GOAT.
@@MrBaronCabron Subjective. Everyone will have a different list.
Love him or hate him, Triple H is that damn good. His character and his style is so epic. Hes one of my top 10 favorites of greats. Just they way he talks, his style and character being the bad bad guy is just great.
That's why he's my GOAT.
"You look like Fabio on crack."
Conan is savage
I always loved him as a wrestler, the most talented guy in the bussiness.
"Your chin looked great!" is that a reference to Jay Leno? LOL
Yes.
triple h will always be that bad guy with one of the greatest entrance.
“Fabio on crack” 😂
He has a great sense of humor lmao
I love when Conan does the Leno impersonation 😂😂9:02
1:49 Ellen
Underrated
Reminds me of Jim Carrey‘s parody
Speaking of Ellen, the clip where Ellen threw a "rock" at Julie Louis-Dreyfus has aged well. Julie's reaction says a lot. ;)
Loool
exactly what i was thinking😂
He looked like a lion in the ring, a total beast.
And has the alpha personality to match! 🦁🦁🦁
"i m a whoop ass, you don't want to open" 😂😂😂😂 my man
Triple H was really good as Ned Stark in Game of thrones....
Triple H would actually be a Really Good Ned Stark tbh
The problem is, it wouldn't have been believable that a sword could cut through that thick-ass neck.
@@jbelisle1986 neck built like a torso
He’s not british
If GoT was an anime, Triple H is what Ned Stark would transform into in life-or-death combat situations.
I actually used to be a heel, everything HHH says about playing the bad guy is true.
Yeeeah okay, guy
Who do you wrestle for?
@@Speedyreedy1218 I used to wrestle for Super Awesome Snowdown. We were an independent wrestling show but we're not active anymore and I myself retired. Not big by any means but we had a little more success then your average indy promotion. There are still some videos on RUclips.
@@Vitriol-Divergent what was your stage name?
@@vergilmontiero2558 Lord Magnos. Yes I'm on RUclips
9:06 triple h hit leno with that chin joke lmao
I know...you can hear the crowd laughing about it kinda quietly after he said it
Triple H was so good at being a heel, at one point he was the most hated man on God’s green earth
GOAT heel.
Yeah, that was go away heat, not heel heat.
@@Bertaut HHH had heel heat. Xpac had go away heat.
@himalaya ahuja No.
@@Speedyreedy1218 and one of the greatest face too. His 2007-2013 face run is pretty underrated I think
I always loved Triple H as a kid but never watched an interview of him until now. He seems like a great and interesting guy, I would like to listen more from him.
Edit: One of the first times I wish Conan had tune down the jokes about himself to let him speak.
W
2:40 Conan saw his life flash before his eyes 🤣🤣🤣
This never grow old. Triple H still has hair. Good old days.
You realize this is like years ago right lmao
@@voyageeats1409 that's why I say "good old days". I also know he cut his hair.
Triple h: i yelled at my mom and kicked her out
The audience: Awwwwww 👏👏👏👏👏👏
How genuinely nice guys they are
When I was a child he was one of my heroes. Nice times.
Same.
"Please welcome the one, we hope the only, Triple H"
Spoiler alert: another Triple H comes out, now there's sextuple H.
😀
I love how he didn’t flinch even a little bit when Conan fake tried to hit him 😂
No but the flinching to all of conan's fake laughter was in full flow.
No selling like a champ.
This was a great interview. Really enjoyed it
1:56 thats what i love about Conan he don’t shy away from make fun of his guests at the show. As a person who born in 90’s i really miss that time.
My favorite part is the crowd laughs at first, then shifts to booing. This crowd knows the game.
no one gets heel heat like triple h
Who else thinks Conan O'Brien is underrated over the Jimmies?
He shouldn't be. He's actually funny
Lol... Jimmies only have big TV studio names behind them and nothing else. Utterly boring and pointless meaningless unfunny conversations that they have its not even close to what Conan does on everyday basis
Dude i see you on every conan video saying this same thing
@@mohanb4821 😜
No one
Paul is as cool as always.😎
Conan is extremely funny like seriously.. he is the best talk show host!
2:41 that scream looked sincere
When Conan said "you look like Fabio on crack", he wanted to say "you look like Fabio on steroids."
Conan is one of the only humans on this planet that can have me laughing the entire video
6:27 wow the absolute disdain from all those nerds in the audience when he made that trekkie comment 🤣
GOAT heel.
ST fans know they're nerds. It's where their power comes from...😂
As a heel he is known as the man you love to hate, although Triple H has always been one of my all-time favorites
Same.
Awesome! Interview vrom Triple H
All respect in the world to hunter. One of my top favs and his respect for the business is unmatched. All hail the king of kings💯💯💯
🎮🎮🎮
Prime HHH right here. I wish the WWE went back to 00. Good times man, good times.
The hell you guys upload so much 😂
Always liked Triple H, also in WCW. Dude is cool.
🎮⚒🧠👑
#Respect
When wrestlers list their height they usually exaggerate but Conan is like 6'4" or 5. And HHH is actually pretty comparable to his stature. And he was massive!
HHH's career in 20 years. Wow. My career trajectory not looking so good comparatively.
My favorite match is the one where Triple H and Undertaker fight in hell in a cell at wrestlemania
Such a good match especially with shawn michaels as the ref adding more emotion
That one was great. It's my favorite Triple H match.
Great match! I'd have to pick Triple H vs HBK SummerSlam 2002. But honestly there's so many great matches.
No match and I mean no match can be that emotional
@@chefnelsonsbbq the street fight right? when shawn michales came back to the wwe? that was just a perfect match
He never drops the Triple H voice
Ahhh
That's called kayfabe my friend
It's funny to think how high his voice really is lol those 97-98 DX promos show off his real voice the best
This is his real voice. 97 to early 98 DX, they were prick juveniles. 99 onward, serious badass. In 02, RVD crushed his throat in a match and it got even deeper.
It seems like the "Triple H voice" is his actual voice nowadays. It just got deeper compared to his early WWF (WWE) days when he was still in his 20's.
"like a grubworm trying to burrow out of a fur coat"
🤢🤢🤢
when triple h mentioned about other guy who was in conans show he proved the fact that he really is a fan of the show
Damn, HHH was swole as flux back then
Always was a big dude. Still is.
Steroid
@@indiarocks5731 chup
Jacked
Usually you only see wrestlers next to other wrestlers, so it's always great to see them in interviews. When they are next to humans, it really becomes obvious how they are not.
W
Triple H was in crazy shape back then... darn, I remember working out to his theme song lol .
He's always been jacked.
Still do
I got the meet HHH az few times when my now thankfully ex-wife and her brother were heavily into WWF, and he really is a genuinely good guy when he isn't "on". Great sense of humor, surprisingly down to earth about things despite his career and fame.
Who’s your ex wife and brother
@@criticalsourpatch5634 no one important...they just bought meet & greet tickets to a show and took me with them. They were all "WWF is life", but I saw it for the simple, mindless entertainment that it was. It may all be fake and scripted, but I always gave those guys and gals immense credit for what they did because they were on non-stop many times even when seriously injured. Not like football players who only play once a week and complain about a pinky toe hurting. lol
@@technewsfortechnoobs the best part of this is when you said "thankfully". I loled hard
Every time Conan posts one of these old videos, I think the celebrity in it just died.
Lol
Man conan’s wit is incredible! What a funny guy! The joke with a dwarf inside HHH’s biceps was so dumb and yet creative!
He’s really quick.
BOT.
2:52 “Oh great I wet myself” 😂😂😂😭😭😭
3:20 lmao😂😂😂 “for me to poop on”😂😂
At first glance i thought she was Abby from the Last of Us Part II
Just a T shirt and huge biceps.
Best comment I've read so far.
Lol
Oh my god😂😂😂
Triple H: I am your Father
Abby: No it can't be
2:57 You can hear him almost say "heel", and instead says "bad guy".
He's so good man. Like legit underrated
Conan or HHH?
Triple H,undertaker,kane, Kurt Angle .... What an era.. 90s wwe rocks🤘
Yeah, and now it's pretty much turned into WCW when they tried to be like WWF RAW
fun to see this after so many years :D i used to actually watch show wrestling back then. ahh i miss those days
Yay! I really wanted to see this interview again.
I miss DX. Shawn Michaels and Triple H was goofing around and pestering McMahon. He always smile on those times. Good Times. XD
Awesome seeing these older videos and the wrestlers wer so entertaining as its what they do best, gotta love Conan also coz i rate him as the number one host of the last 2 or 3 decades
WWF is the greatest. WWE is not.
nah wwe also had the ruthless aggression and we got some of the best wrestlamania matches with undertaker in wwe, so they r both great wwf is just a little better. Nowadays wwe sucks
@@muhammadhashir6136 honestly when cena stepped down as the face of the wwe, that was pretty much it for me
@@thestrongest3050 I'd say when punk left wwe that was it for me, although rollins had it in himself for a while but it went downward with time
@CAITO ROSARIO And what Ruthless Aggression was?
WWE went downhill after 2012 and yes it sucks these days
Conan's official heel turn
Love him or hate him, the "Game" has gone from being the baggage carrier of the Klique to possibly the most powerful man in the pro wrestling industry and besides Ric Flair, perhaps the absolute best heel ever. Can't help but respect that.
Love this Interview
Conan I love it
Triple H was the best at getting you to hate him
I met him once in Boston. Wicked nice guy
Back then, it was hard to tell Kayfabe from the real person. When they blended into their stage character
so well, you'd think this is what they're like all the time.
But no, Paul "Triple H" Levesque is actually one of the coolest dudes on the planet.
nice guy 3 H, i love hearing their polemics on the ring
He should have entered Hollywood ! HHH has maintained his physic so perfect till now ! No other athlete has maintained themselves for so long ! My all time fav HHH & Goldberg 💪💪
He was offered a film career in 2000. Vince got a deal with someone for Rock and HHH. HHH declined. Rock accepted (Mummy Returns, Scorpion King and the rest was history).
During the filming of Blade, New Line Cinema offered him a three movie deal. He turned it down. He was on the casting list of potentials for Thor also.
He genuinely loves wrestling. That's where his heart is and never wanted to leave the business.
@@Speedyreedy1218 - woah , I didn’t knew that ! Should have stepped in to the movies ! HHH & Goldberg are my all time fave 🥇🥇🙌🙌
@@Nandu6321 You can't make someone jump into something that they're not deeply passionate about. Wrestling is his one, true love, career wise.
tiple h with the heel heat right away
