Strange things everyone ignores about Triple H

WWE’s latest Hall of Fame inductee, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has been operating for over 30 years and has undergone considerable transformation. His time as “Terrarising” is gone, and he evolved from Gen D X, the most nunch-house leader in professional wrestling history, leading the entire WWE as a leading creative director and head of the main roster creative. Many have sung praises for Triple H and his booking in recent years, but there is still a lot that everyone has ignored straightforwardly about his past.

Triple H is known for many of the ring’s achievements during his Hall of Fame career. He won 14 World Championships and multiple other titles at his peak, winning two Royal Rumble matches and earning WrestleMania headlines multiple times. Despite all his title wins and successful stables like DX and evolution, there was an aspect of his career that fans tend to ignore, whether they separate Triple H’s in-ring career from his personal life or whether they have straightforwardly forgotten how small it looks in their vast history with WWE.

Before settling on the “game” character, fans forget about things pretty weird, from his multiple failed gimmicks to his relationship with fellow DX members who have been sour due to the influence of Hall of Fame, to his attempts at running in Hollywood, to the uncomfortable R-rate segments at the funeral home where WWE loves to forget all his fans.

He may now be known by nicknames like “Game” and “King of Kings,” but when Triple H first invaded business in 1992, he of course used the play “Terra Rising” in “Terrorization.” The name itself is odd, but another fact that WWE fans often ignore or probably don’t know is the fact that Triple H got off to a professional start with WCW. WCW is the exact same company that tries to raid in “Monday Night Wars” in camouflage with a jeep made like a tank along with the rest of the DX.

Terra Ryzing developed from the original villain name “Terror Risin'” and later he changed Gear to an entirely new character. Fans may know a little better. The character plays from the true surname of Triple H and its French origins, and he recently revealed in “Jimmy Fallon” that WCW officials originally wanted him to cut back on promotions in French. He explained that the promotion was cut off with a French accent as he could not speak the language. The noble gimmick led to a temporary pairing of Stephen Regal Lord, or William Regal, whom fans today know him, from late 1994 to 1995.

However, Levesque did not have long for WCW after teaming up with Regal. He set out for the then WWF in January 1995, turning his gimmick into “Connecticut Blue Blood” Hunter Heart Helmsley.

Another thing WWE fans ignore about Triple H is the number of suspicious moments he has been involved in throughout his career, with many occurring during the company’s infamous attitude era. Fans have been paying attention to the racial lining in some of these storylines over the years. In recent memory, fans spotted footage of Mark Henry from Triple H Mocking in 1998, pretending to be a monkey and gestured towards Henry, walking towards the ring for a match against d-generation X.

The fierce between Triple H and Booker T’s World Heavyweight Championship, ahead of Wrestlemania 19, quickly caught heat from fans in 2003. Booker T. was open about his previous struggles in life, including his prison time for an armed robber in 1987. You will be a candidate for number one.

Triple H aimed at Booker T’s time at WCW, downplaying his multiple WCW world heavyweight championships and calling the title a “joke.” At the worst of the feud, Triple H said “people like Booker T” could not become world champions. Triple H said he mentioned the challenger’s crime past, but many fans believed it said Booker T couldn’t become champion because he was black. After all feudal controversy, Booker T still lost at WrestleMania.

The relationship between Triple H and fellow DX member Chyna is not odd in itself, but WWE tends to ignore it. Triple H and Chyna began dating in 1996, when they trained together at Killer Kowalski wrestling school in Massachusetts. Chyna first debuted as a Barrett on Triple H, but soon became a megastar. The pair were together until 2000, when Triple H began storyline with Stephanie McMahon. According to Chyna, their relationship wasn’t just a storyline, and Triple H and McMahon had a relationship while Chyna and Triple H were engaged.

In 2012, Chyna recalled discovering that Triple H had problems. She spent about six months on the McMahon/Hemsley storyline on TV, and Triple H began performing strangely at home. She explained that she had passed through his briefcase because she knew something was off, and that she had found a love letter from McMahon. Both Triple H and McMahon have never publicly commented on how things went down, but Chyna left the company suddenly in 2001 without a “goodbye” to fans.

After not being re-signed to WWE, Chyna entered the adult film industry, which has often been the reason cited as to why she has not been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a singles star, though she was posthumously inducted as a member of D-Generation X in 2019, three years after her death in April 2016. Throughout the years, Triple H was adamant that his ex would never go into the Hall of Fame due to her adult industry career, but fan Many years of backlash make it seem like the current CCO is being rethinked. In his own induction in 2025, he promised that China would be recognized as a singles star, but he didn’t say when she would be appointed.

“Stone Cold” With regard to Steve Austin’s meteor rise, it is often ignored that Triple H’s punishment for Curtain Call is part of the reason he has the “Stone Cold” he has today. Austin won the 1996 King of the Ring Tournament and after the match he launched the “Austin 3:16” promotion and sent him to Stardom, but Austin had no intention of winning the match initially. Triple H was meant to be King of Kings in 1996, but the case of defeating the infamous Kayfabe led to him not being able to win the tournament.

On the Curtain Call, Triple H and then WWF champion Shawn Michaels hugged it in the middle of the ring at Madison Square Garden with Kevin Nash and Razor Ramon after Michaels defeated Nash in a steel cage match. They were all very close friends, but they were known behind the scenes as “kliq.” Fans didn’t know that these heels and babyface characters didn’t actually hate each other. The match and post-match angles were not aired, but the audience fans were holding the camera and captured the moment they beat Caefferb. Nash and Razor set off for WCW and Michaels was the champion, so Curtain Call’s punishment fell to Triple H.

Instead of winning the King of the Rings, Hunter Helst Helmsley was eliminated in the first round of the tournament by Jake “Snake” Roberts. Austin won the tournament, cut a 3:16 promotion and rose to stardom, and for the next five months he rarely found himself in “WWE Raw” until Triple H was booked to win the Intercontinental Championship from Mark Mello.

While we can’t talk about WWE history without mentioning the numerous governance at Triple H’s World Heavyweight Championship, many fans ignore what other more hardcore fans call him “regulation of horror.” Terrorist governance combined five and more than 600 days that held Triple H between 2002 and 2005 during the ruthless attacks of the WWE. Worse, Triple H was handed over the “Big Gold Belt” which was reintroduced by “WWE Raw” general manager Eric Bischoff. “The Game” was called the first world heavyweight champion to launch the ERA.

He was almost always in championship photos and was famous for not wanting to beat talent. Triple H ran through Booker T, Scott Steiner, Randy Orton and more. Fans resid on Triple H for his dominance over the men’s division in “Raw,” and at that point “WWE Smackdown” was often seen as a weak show to launch a new era after the brand was split, despite delivering excellent performances each week, including Brock Lesnar, Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle.

“Governance of Terrorism” ended when the previous evolutionary stable Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble. He challenged the Triple H on the belt, turning a babyface along the way, winning the World Heavyweight Championship at the WrestleMania 21. Batista won the clean and defended the title twice against “The Cerebral Assassin,” which means a new era of “Raw” in “The Cerebral Assassin.”

Some former WWE superstars like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena have continued to have extremely successful film and television careers, but Triple H time in Hollywood is often ignored. He worked in several films while at the top of the game in his ring, but the film or his character is often forgotten. His first film role is undoubtedly his biggest, despite not being the film’s main character. He first starred with Wesley Snipes in 2004’s “Blade Trinity.” Triple H played the vampire who served as a henchman of the film’s antagonist. However, even the vampire wrestlers were unable to save the film. It was the worst reviewed film of the “Blade” trilogy.

After taking a long break from both acting and ring competitions due to the torn quad, he appeared in a WWE film film called “The Chaperone” in 2011. The character decides to do his final job with a gang of criminals, but at the final moments he changes his mind and instead chooses to chaperon his daughter’s field trip. His character has to deal with the fallout from leaving the con man without a getaway driver while dealing with a school bus full of children.

The film didn’t do well with the audience and proved to be Triple H’s final foray into acting. He lent his voice to “Scooby-Doo! and the WWE: Curse of the Speed ​​Demon” and “Surfs Up 2: Wavemania”, but his time in the live-action film ended with 31% of “chaperones” and rotten tomatoes.

Fans tend to ignore the involvement of Triple H, one of the most unsettling wrestling segments in history, for good reason. During the 2002 Triple H and Kane feud, “The Game” aired the dirty laundry of Kane’s storyline to the crowd, telling the story of an incident in which a young Kane drank and drove along with a friend, a woman named Kativick. The two were involved in an accident in which Kane survived, but his girlfriend was killed. Triple H says that Kane’s DNA was discovered inside Vick’s body during an autopsy, implying that the “big red machine” is necrophilic.

Worse, Triple H continued his storyline the following week, airing his video on “WWE Raw,” where he saw cas wearing a cane mask inside the funeral home where he opened. The mannequin, dressed in cheerleader uniforms intended to be Vic’s “body,” lay in the cas. Triple H began talking to her “body,” undressing with the dummy and climbing up to ffin after simulated sex.

The angle didn’t last very long as Kane’s tag team partner Hurricane showed his own embarrassing video to Triple H and Sledgehammer audiences. The persistent angle is something that fans tend to deliberately leave their hearts. It’s just how painful it really was, and that’s certainly something that the current head of the main roster creative would want everyone to ignore.

Triple H is notorious in the eyes of fans for its “squash” and burial talent (see Reign of Terror), but fans tend to ignore or forget “all their epic stages” in 1996. During the match, the Warrior sold all of the Triple H’s offenses, including the pedigree, which is the finisher, defeating the future “game” in just under two minutes.

According to Warrior, Triple H was not too kind to be crushed at the time, as the WrestleMania match took place two months before the curtain call. Warrior said Triple H screamed at Jerry Brisco about his issues in the match rather than talking directly to him. Warrior explained that the match was not personal. Because he was a bigger star than Triple H at the time. He called the young man “Pondie Little B****” and “Pondie Little S**** Head.”

The men only met at WrestleMania 12. Warrior returned to the company in ’96, failing without letting the company know after missing some of WWE’s house shows. His contract ended and he signed with WCW in 1998. By the time he signed with WCW, Triple H had recovered from the curtain call and rose.

With Rey Mysterio taking office in 2023, it’s not entirely odd to be inducted into the Hall of Fame while WWE stars are still active wrestlers, but Triple H is the first WWE employee to be respected while in a major position in power. He was appointed as part of D-Generation X in 2019. When he wasn’t wrestling full-time, all other members of the faction outside of Aew’s Billy Gunn also retired. However, in 2025, WWE revealed that he will headline the class of that year despite running shows every day as CCO. Many fans have questioned the move as they are important online and often hinted at not wanting to take part in WWE programming on Triple H’s social media, but often seemingly finding a way to broadcast themselves.

However, it wasn’t Triple H to announce himself for the Hall of Fame as best friends Sean Michaels and the Undertaker surprised him at a WWE Town Hall meeting with investors at WWE headquarters. The “game” is reportedly “really shocked” by honor, but fans questioned how much he knew in advance. Michaels honored WrestleMania 41 weekend to induct a friend into the Hall of Fame. During his speech, Triple H praised former WWE CEO and his father-in-law, Vince McMahon of Embarrassment.
