His relationship with Orton has always been really odd and interesting to me. He chose Orton to join Evolution and clearly acted as a sort of mentor to him at that time and helped Orton become a long term main eventer.

And yet on the other hand, he just always seemed to beat Orton. Over and over and over again, even if the storyline called for an Orton win it would almost always end with Triple H on top. Plus there was that interview a few years ago where Orton said how happy he was to be drafted away from Triple H onto a different show and was laughing at Umaga because now he had to deal with him. That doesn't make it sound like they're great friends to me.

I'm not saying Triple H dislikes him, but yeah it's always been a bit weird.

Kinda sounds like there's some tension there.

Sexually

Not to mention that Orton started to rack up his own clique of friends (Umaga, Masters, Eugene), and Orton never seemed to be able to do much to help their situations...

[Hugh Mungus]

I thought Trips didn't have a problem with The Rock; supposedly, The Rock had a major problem with HBK, mostly due to the latter being a complete dick at the time.

[andrew8798]

Nah it was said HHH was jealous of the Rock

[The Legend of Groose]

CM Punk for three simple reasons...

1. He's skinny,
2. He's fat,
3. He's an ass.

I think the comments in this thread on the order of "Triple H wouldn't job/lose to X wrestler so therefore he must not like him" are a bit inaccurate.

Wrestling is a cut-throat business and a man must always look out for #1: himself. If Triple H had laid down for Kane or RVD he might not have achieved the position he has today. Many other great wrestlers of the past have similarly protected themselves.

I highly, highly, highly doubt Triple H and Kane have any heat between them. Given how much time they have been on the road together I'll go out on a limb and say they probably consider each other family at this point.

You know what do all those guys have in common? They are all solid B+ players as far as WWE history of all time greats goes.

In fact, Triple H belongs to that group of guys that were very good to almost great, but never made it to the A list of WWE All time Greats (Hogan, Rock, Austin, Flair, Taker, etc)

He knows it deep down inside, but can't accept the truth and that's why he hates their guts and tries to berate them to show that he's above them. Of course, he fools nobody but his family.

Triple H is on the level of Ric Flair. Above him, really. Consider the size of the business at the time of Flair's peak. Consider the size of the crowds he wrestled in front of. Then compare it to the WWE in the early 2000s when WWE making more money than any company in history (including during the Attitude Era).

And remember HHH is not retired yet. Recent matches such as the one at Wrestlemania XXX will still count towards his overall legacy.

Yes, but Triple H was arguably at a level where his spot was cemented. He already had multiple World Title runs (this was before people would win world titles and then drop back to midcard like they never won it) AND he had his relationship with Steph, so laying down for anyone wouldn't have hurt him all that much.

[Urethra Franklin]

I'd be surprised if there was heat between Trips and Kane, considering Kane is universally beloved.

Also, from what I understand, HHH and William Regal are very close.

[BorneAgain]

I get the sense he doesn't think much of Miz's abilities given that the latter's depush and slide into disposable mid-carder happened roughly the same time HHH began to get more responsibilities.

Could mere coincidence though.

This is where someone would post the gif of Miz trying to shake his hand after walking through the curtain after he won the WWE Championship, only to be left hanging.

Despite being a key player in the screwjob he appeared to get on well with Owen Hart and was one of the most distraught interviewees during raw is Owen, I never heard of him having problems with Davey Boy either (who I think was also friendly with HBK) so the dislike of Bret didn't extend to his crew.

As he's aged he does have a remarkable knack for burying the hatchet. NAO, Goldberg, Bret, Rock, X-Pac (he probably wasn't happy when he dated Chyna), Warrior are all people he's made peace with despite past pettiness. I wouldn't be surprised if he once did dislike Kane but has come to be friends with him. I think in the next few years he will be open to making up with Chyna and Punk if they can overlook past slights.

I can imagine Jim Cornette saying, "Hunter, I worked with Ric Flair. I knew Ric Flair. He's a good friend of mine. Hunter, you're no Ric Flair."

Surprised it took this long to mention the Rock. The heat may have died down in recent years, but early in Rock's career Triple H and HBK used to bury and torement him for awhile.

His jealousy of Rock comes through damn near every time they interact. He makes some smug jab and Rock completely no-sells it and continues to out-promo him.

It was notorious at times, I remember when Rock was cutting a promo where he mocked other all time greats' catchphrases. Triple H interrupted him and tried to ruin the punchline. Rock completely nosold him and still delivered the line awesomely.

Yeah Rock while not as good of a wrestler as Triple H early on, just destroyed him in every other department.

Triple H used to do that to The Rock all the time, just randomly interrupt him in the middle of a promo or try and talk over him. I don't think i've seen anybody else do it.

It was bizarre.

I really doubt he cared. It's not like she was the one that god away by any means.

Yeah, Triple H is quite possibly the most notorious when it comes showing his insecurities. I mean he shows many signs of some weird inferiority complex when he was a wrestler and I doubt most of that was just his character.

It's like when he called Punk a skinny fatass. It's like he knew he screwed up but he repeated the line a couple weeks later to show he's infallible.

Triple H comes off as the kind of guy who if he'd slip in the shower, he'd get up and tell himself, "Yeah, I meant to do that."

[unc40]

I am sure HHH is not on good terms with Katie Vick's family.

[Squirrel Master]

I've heard innuendo that H is the reason we never saw Das Wunderkind Alex Wright grace WWE rings. My guess is that Wright would have been perceived by the fans as a kinder, gentler alternative to his boy HBK, and H would never stand for that.

Why not? He was trying to bring the man who killed their child to justice.

Well skinny fatass is a term in body building or gym culture. It's just one most of us haven't heard of or gives a shit about

Orton said in an interview with Powerslam how he didn't always get on well with HHH and HBK and said that Shawn was having one of his trademark tantrums because Umaga had the neve to wear the colour red, which was the same colour Shawn was wearing, and Orton had to stick up for Umaga againt HBK's crybaby antics and HHH.
