Who do you think would win a fight: Slater or HHH?

[Nic Nemeth]

I'm betting on Slater, I don't think Triple H has any fighting experience.

[PsychoGoatee]

They both seem like fairly nice guys and normal everyday kind of people, in some ways. I'd assume Slater more so, Triple H being more oldschool probably been involved in more of that you know tough guy locker room mentality shenanigans stuff and whatnot.

I have no idea, I'll randomly bet on Triple H just because he's a bigger guy and probably if I had to guess has been in more fights in his life than Heath.

I wouldn't bet a lot on it, but I would bet 9.99!

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Slater. Trips doesn't have the killer instinct, he might be bigger but he's not tough, there was once on raw a really awkward segment, DX was on the ramp (back when Rick Rude was with them), and the mic they were talking on got muted, Rude told Triple H to go to gorilla and get a new one, he didn't want to do it, next thing you know Rude actually appeared to be yelling and was approaching him, Trips got scared and went to gorilla.
Another story of him not being tough, was that he waited for Ultimate Warrior to leave the business, around 2000-2001, so that he could bury him on interviews.

Triple H will never be mentioned as a tough guy, he actually was a good guy in the locker room, according to Lance Storm shoot and Undertaker segment on trips documentary.

f*** it, I'm picking Big Clem Layfield by referee stoppage.

You do realize Slater has five years of boxing experience and is a 2x former Golden Gloves champion right?

[Slanted and Enchanted]

lol pretty random comparison but I guess I'd say Heath takes it. Triple H is bigger and more of an old-school roughneck but doesn't Heath have experience as an amateur boxer? He's also a lot younger, doesn't suffer from bad quads, and hasn't softened up from a corporate job and three daughters

[JTG Fan]

I think Trips is pretty open about not necessarily being a real life 'tough guy'. He's a performer, not a real life fighter. But still, he could probably kick Slater's ass.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Ok are there any fights of him on youtube? I didn't knew he was a boxer, why they never gave him that gimmick? If there are highlight knock outs from him, i would lose my mind.

I didn't know that, I have not looked up Heath Slater's bio, I do respect his work in the squared circle though of course.

Oddly enough earlier today I listened to Buff Bagwell on Colt Cabana's podcast, and Buff mentioned that he was Golden Gloves when he was 12 years old. For the record I have no idea what Golden Gloves means in the context of boxing, but it sounds pretty nutty if 12 year olds are getting it. I'm not sure what sort of sanctioning is going on. Sounds wacky.

I do know Triple H has a few.... pedigrees... of his own. So I know about that at least.

So if I can posit a side-question for the topic, who wins, Golden Gloves youngster Buff Bagwell, or Heath Slater?

[Deleted]

Slater's on a winning streak, Triple H hasn't won since Mania 29. Winner is obvious.

Wait are you sure?

It was to my knowledge that Golden Gloves was open to 16+ fighters.

There is a Silver Gloves opened to ages 10-16 though.

I want to say Bagwell wins though cause his mom would interfere.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

For nearly 4 years I've been making fun of Slater's looks, calling him a pathetic jobber, turns out he could be a legit killing machine, it's always been interesting to me that most of the main event guys are pussies and the lower midcard to jobbers are always the toughest.

Yep, he said he got Golden Gloves at 12 on the podcast. I don't know anything about how it works, but I'm also not sure that there were any laws or rules in the south when Buff was growing up, in general. Judy Bagwell is definitely a force!

[ninjachick]

Slater. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that HHH can't fight.

Hunico and Yoshi Tatsu both have one thing in common: they knocked Sheamus onto his ass.

[sonofblaine]

Slater with boxing experience. I heard Austin on his podcast say Trip wasn't into UFC because he didn't really like violence.

Lol, sheamus has been exposed twice now, in a different era he would've been fired, although I wonder if that could've played into his push being diminished.
Yeah Yoshi I think was an amateur wrestler, he also survived the new japan dojo, there's a documentary about that on youtube Yoshi is also included, they were brutal, and I think that inoki being associated with mma also brought fighters to teach him how to shoot.
And isn't Hunico, Haku's son or something? If that's the case 'nuff said.

Another old school legit killer was Adrian Street, even though he played a stereotypical gay coward heel, was really short, he was an expert in hooking, catch as catch can style, Mick Foley discussed in his book that he asked Adrian to teach him a few grappling moves, Adrian showed him something and Mick said it was the most painful thing he ever felt in his life.

For all we know Tyler Breeze has legit killed people or something lol

I remember when I found out Rico was a former cop and knew martial arts.

Still doesn't beat Santino's MMA experience.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I had no idea Slater was a former Golden Gloves champ. That's surprisingly awesome.

I still think Triple H takes it, I think he's a legitimately tough guy. Not on like Regal's or Bobcore's level but I think he could handle himself well.

[Slammy Award-Winning Cannibal]

The fans.

[Hit Girl]

Slater easily.
