I heard he once cut the tail off a dog and the dog died

I heard he cheated on his girlfriend, and it ended pretty badly. Didn’t end too badly for him

Any good stories about HHH? Above and beyond anything, he negotiated the returns of Bruno Sammartino and the Ultimate Warrior into the WWE fold. For that, particularly Warrior, given what happened, I'm eternally grateful to H as a wrestling fan.

I don't think Bret ever forgave him for his part in the screwjob.

There us the one where Triple H was in a booking meeting circa 2000 when they were discussing the possibility of Kurt Angle as world champion. Triple H pipes up: “he is too small to be world champion.” To which Pat Patterson replies:”ok - you fight him for real and see who wins.”
Triple H didn’t say another word.

There was one year when gaming magazines received a few edicts from WWE regarding screenshots being included in reviews of one of their games. One of them was that they weren't allowed to show Trips in a compromised (defenseless or vulnerable) position. How insecure are you that you can't even stand seeing yourself lose in a video game? I remember a few people going "lol newzz" then I went through all my gaming magazines with WWE stuff, sure enough... every major star had shots being beaten up and winning, HHH just battering people or posing.

I truly believe his loss to the Ultimate Warrior still rankles him as if it happened yesterday.
He is right alongside Hogan and HBK in the ego ranks.

Any good stories about HHH? *Thinks... and thinks... and thinks...🤔* I finally got one! He hires a bunch of guys that nobody ever thought they would see in WWE. Makes them look really good to amazing on his pet project show NXT. Only for them to go to the main roster and be made to look like total shit by Vince. That somewhat, kind of, sort of counts, right?

There are quite a bit lol but the one that always stood out to me are about his casual racism directed at Ricardo Rodriguez who says that Triple H would only refer to him by the Bumblebee man nickname based off the Simpsons character. From what I remember the original story was he called him Bumblebee becuase he was large and could fly. Not that it had any ties to the Bumblebee Man. He also called Super Crazy the same thing. It's a name he only applied to chubby Hispanics, never a guy like Bam Bam Bigelow or any of the other heavy white guys who could bust out aerial moves.

I love when Bret was talking about him and he said "what is he, like a 1000 time champion by now?"
Just his blunt way of saying it was hilarious.

Just keeping himself strong man..........Nash was obviously hurt by his action figure doing the job.

Flash Funk aka 2 Cold Scorpio has told a pretty bad story about him. I think in 1996 or 1997, Funk was driving with Sycho Sid, Doug Furnas, and Phil Lafon. They were in a horrific car crash. I think the car even flipped over a couple of times. As the story goes, Triple H and Chyna drove by, saw the accident, and just laughed. They did not stop to check on the guys or offer any help. Later, that night, Triple H was allegedly laughing and joking about the accident.
*Again, this is a story from Flash Funk, so I really do not know how factual it is.

He's always felt insincere to me. For all the criticism Vince gets at least he feels like a human with feelings.
The stories I've read about Trips he comes across as calculating, cold and has a massive ego. He can also be a prick for example when he called Lillian Garcia a horse.

I use to hear that Edge wasn't a fan and outside of the rated rko vs dx fued they basically were never on the same brand together so I wondered big it had merit. They were on the same show quite a bit... 2004-2007 on Raw, 2008-2009 on SmackDown.

Yep the massive ego thing is still there till this present day. He has had the longest match or one of the longest matches at every show that he's wrestled on since wrestlemania 33.

Never forget that Triple H was in full control of NXT when Bill DeMott was brought back and put in charge of injuring, abusing and persecuting a generation of stars, with talent who complained to management being hung out to dry and released. He wants to take credit for everything good that happens in NXT under his watch, yet there's no responsibility taken for the bullying and harassment that happened prior to DeMott being ousted.

Hell, to me, this is the core reason for all the good stuff. He's always done the thing that benefits him, personally, the most. In terms of booking, burying, the kinds of matches he has. It's not like he's magically changed. But, as an executive, the thing that benefits him the most is running a business people like, following the crowd, booking well, making changes when people find out about the bad stuff etc. It's the same trait, just channeled in a more positive direction.

Any good stories about HHH? I spotted HHH in the floor seats at a Metallica concert back in 1998. He hoisted his beer towards me and smiled.

Any good stories about HHH? Bet Hall, Nash and Michaels got shitloads of them and they're the most dearest and sincerest bunch in the wrestling world.
