You could tell Hunter and Shawn weren't on speaking terms at the time, as he always says Shawn is "hands down, his favorite person to work with". Just goes to show you what a difference time and forgiveness can make.
Regardless of politics, regardless of who his wife is, regardless of anything naysayers may say/have ever said about HHH(whether "none of it is true", "some of it" is true or even if "a lot of it is true"), nobody can deny that Hunter has always been a student of this industry forever, it's been his first love since Day 1.......He lives, breathes, eats, bleeds, sweats WWE...........and he has TOTALLY & THOROUGHLY DESERVEDLY climbed to the top of the business in EACH & EVERY aspect of it one could name.
And he wished Chyna all the best despite her talking trash on him and telling only her side of the story without giving him the benefit of telling his side of the story. We've heard Chyna's side of the story, and a lot of it, but only a little bit of his side of the story.
@@Foxo-Matti12blud she had a sex tape where someone imitated vince mcmahon and triple h…. they weren’t putting her on live tv at hof with a track record like that
Jericho talks about this in his book and makes it seem like Trips 'buried' him, but he clearly said "Chris will get it. It's there". Not sure why he was offended by him saying he was just a notch below the top tier, which was actually true. Trips, Taker, Rock, Austin at the time = top tier. Jericho was always entertaining, but not on that level of stardom.
I think the issue Jericho had was HHH saying this a few days before their WM18 match. Saying Jericho isn't there in terms of being top-tier isn't the best way to make an opponent and world champ look like a threat.
Jericho for sure wasn't on the same level of stardom as Triple H not at that time but today Triple H can't even touch Jericho's level of whos the bigger star now
Jericho didn't need Austin or rock to put him over to be established. Everybody knew since his excellent WCW run he was a star in the making. HHH had to deal with Austin going over him, Rock going over him, Foley going over him...he wanted to keep a pecking order and unfortunately for Jericho it meant no seal of approval at a time we needed something different.
What's cool about Hunter is the relationship he has with his father-in-law; he said in an interview that he told Vince if it came down to himself, Vince, or the business, Hunter would leave the business because he wouldn't want to damage the relationship he has with his father-in-law. You're a good man, Triple H.
Lawyers don't work hundreds of days, face constant scrutiny, and on their time off take time out of their days to sign autographs, do interviews, etc. Lawyers don't put their body on the line, lawyers don't get injured every week, etc., etc.
Funny how he makes it seem the WWF came up with the blueblood snob angle, when he wrestled under it in WCW before that. Hair done with a ribbon and everything.
Wow, very impressed with him here! Never was one of my favourite wrestles, not him personally, just his character in the WWE but, he seems like a real nice guy!
@omgyourfat6 test no? Test was a FANTASTIC wrestler. he was great in the ring. really athletic. also really good on the mic. I highly disagree with you
He was ambushed with that clip of Chyna, but he kept his composure. He was there. Chyna was there. You were not there. You can't know how it was between them. And it's true that the business is tough on relationships. He knows better than you. He doesn't suck. He is the same *wrestler* that he was before he met Stephanie. If you cannot perform, then you will not be at the top. Simple as that. I'll believe someone who is actually is the business over the dirtsheets and *experts*.
Does he still have wrestlers on OTR? They used to have pro wrestling on a local sports radio and it is interesting because it is a sport in respects of athletics and viewership.
That's true when you're ever in a relationship and had a strong bond with that person when you love someone you never stop loving them if you do then you never really loved them in the first place so without a doubt that had to hurt him RIP Chyna
Triple H was right about some guys that coming out of nowhere, that nobody thinks about and become a star... In a short time after that john cena became a star
Test would have been as big as triple h but didn't get the heavyweight push, he did hold every other wwe belt including the now dead hardcore and European belts. Guess Steph thought her new man is better
i never understood why Triple H dont like Dolph Ziggler ... Ziggler also likes Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels the most .... and Ziggler is a WWE guy .... i will never understand why they dont push him but he is still there every week and steals the show...
To add to "MrHallofFameHBK1" wrestlers make millions of $ a year, more than college graduate lawyers because wrestlers are entertainers/performers.They sell an experience to the audience/crowd that IS the product.A wrestling match and a wrestler portraying their character is the marketing and promoting of their character to fans so that fans can relate to that character and be persuaded to buy merchandise. Without the sale of merchandise the WWE would only make money by selling tickets and PPV.
It doesn't cost a lot of money to watch wrestling or go to a live show. They get paid what they get paid because the risk of them getting injured and not being able to work anymore is very high. They need that money to be able to support themselves and their families for the rest of their lives in case they can't wrestle anymore. Lawyers overcharge for everything they do. But to watch wrestling, the cost is minuscule in comparison.
For the same reason actors, athletes, baseball/basketball/whatever players get paid millions. Cuz the tickets and merchandise make money and they can afford to pay the performers and give them incentive to keep doing what they do.
A lot of wrestlers don't actually get paid as much as you think...e.g mid carders aren't on millions or even half of that, and the money they do gets taxed and they will be spending their money on the same things we do like tax, insurance and all that other bullshit but they also spend loads on hotels rental cars and things like that so they end up about £30,000 a year... So when you see what they do to their body's day in day out the money they get is stupid. Said so by wwe talent
I'm glad that we no longer discuss "What happened between Triple H and Chyna?" Word is that Chyna is kinda sort of nuts also, and a liar. Triple H is the man.
A) okay then, if anyone can do it, do it. Get down to your shorts and try to perform a piledriver without anyone breaking their neck. Go ahead and simulate a high-impact fight in front of a live crowd. B) If those lawyers are employed by a firm that's worth nearly billion dollars then they make millions too. It's who you work for that decides how much you can get paid. C) Why the hell do I bother?
wow did you see his face after chyna interview he knew he was wrong the way he did things he sucks he slept his way to the top and scamed his way to everything he has
No, but the average obsever would interpret it that way... talking about how the WWF required guys to have a gimmick back then, and how he came in as the blueblood. He never alludes to the wcw years, so in the context of the discussion, it makes it seem like they're the ones who slapped it on him.
I think Triple H right lol About the Babe Ruth thing, and ppl, oh the part timers lol They getting all the spotlight, it's not fairrr lol I mean like Triple H said, it's like if Babe Ruth came back to play baseball, you honestly gonna whine about the fact he's getting so much attention lol Like The Rock has come BACK lol To wrestle, and ppl like, oh why is he getting the top matches, people here all year round, and I mean, it's THE ROCK lol What the hell you expect lol Be happy the Rock even there, that elevates the whole thing lol The whole show.

He said it in a 2001 interview as well, leading to WMX7. Said nice things about Road Dogg and Heyman too.
Landsberg: "...She talked about the breakup of the relationship, we're going to roll in a clip right now..."
Triple H: "Huh."
That's good lol
John Jancar yooooo! That was soooo fucked up!
Was more of a 'uhuh' as in 'OK'
he is happy to answer anything, a great interview.
"Sometimes when your car's about to get smashed you gotta get a cheaper one."
That was amazing, loved that.
DAYYMMMMN DUDE LET TRIPPLE H FINISH!! XD
Regardless of politics, regardless of who his wife is, regardless of anything naysayers may say/have ever said about HHH(whether "none of it is true", "some of it" is true or even if "a lot of it is true"), nobody can deny that Hunter has always been a student of this industry forever, it's been his first love since Day 1.......He lives, breathes, eats, bleeds, sweats WWE...........and he has TOTALLY & THOROUGHLY DESERVEDLY climbed to the top of the business in EACH & EVERY aspect of it one could name.
You're a delusional fuck
I agree your delusional fuck face
And he wished Chyna all the best despite her talking trash on him and telling only her side of the story without giving him the benefit of telling his side of the story. We've heard Chyna's side of the story, and a lot of it, but only a little bit of his side of the story.
But he blackballed her from wwe and waited until she died to bring her in the HOF but only with DX.
@@Foxo-Matti12blud she had a sex tape where someone imitated vince mcmahon and triple h…. they weren’t putting her on live tv at hof with a track record like that
HHH spoke highly of Test to come up on top. He's actually said this many times before
We all saw his skill back in the day. He could've transitioned to a higher plane. Super happy to legitimately hear the words from HHH's mind
@@ljavwa3459 He spoke highly of Edge too in 02, that he sees big things from him in the future.
Man test had the look and talent to be a big star.
And yet when Test was proposed to join DX, Hunter shot it down.
@@Rschr101 didn’t fit the group. Test was perfect as The Corporation’s hired gun

C.C. Ekeke Jericho is a Star! He was the first undisputed champ

Jericho didn't need Austin or rock to put him over to be established. Everybody knew since his excellent WCW run he was a star in the making.

6:58 Landsberg talks Triple H into putting the title match on last.
Triple His the Man. Much Much Respect for this dude.
#ForeverMyGoat 🎮🎮🎮
Who could've thought then that by the time summerslam ended, a guy who still hadn't made yet would be the WWE champion!
What's cool about Hunter is the relationship he has with his father-in-law; he said in an interview that he told Vince if it came down to himself, Vince, or the business, Hunter would leave the business because he wouldn't want to damage the relationship he has with his father-in-law.
You're a good man, Triple H.
Do you still feel the same way now?
Thanks so much for posting this. I loved whole interview.
*sentence* sure *sentence* sure *sentence* yea *sentence* sure *long pause* Paul speaks.
I love how people judge Trips but yet they don’t know him. I think people judge out of their own insecurities.

The gear was different. Different music. He was American, not French.
I'm glad he said test. I always liked test. He had a decent look. 6'5 6'6 and decent shape
Taylor Mcgarry decent? That dude was a POWERHOUSE rip test
Ric and HHH know this business and love it like we do
🎮🎮🎮
Great interview, love OTR!
wow Riple was stunned at Chyna's words.
Wow, very impressed with him here! Never was one of my favourite wrestles, not him personally, just his character in the WWE but, he seems like a real nice guy!
Wow really good explanation about why he only had girlfriends who is passionate about the work RESPECT is all i have right now
@WWEJunkie08 He basically says what Jericho says in his own book...

100, honestly was surprised how well he handled that, don't think I've seen him shoot on it so direct lol
@@Dracula_sb yeah for sure he handled that really well not a lot of people would've been so calm im surprised he didn't angry
must’ve switched that main event right at the last minute
Does he still have wrestlers on OTR? They used to have pro wrestling on a local sports radio and it is interesting because it is a sport in respects of athletics and viewership.
@crocodiliusz test got injured, thats why he never get anywhere - he was awesome doing "unamericans"
0:48 “you two guys” .... landsberg says it so casually
triple h was stunned at what chyna said o eve that but i don't think he saw her in a long time.
@crocodiliusz he wasn`t stunned, judging by his face he was without a doubt hurt by that....
That's true when you're ever in a relationship and had a strong bond with that person when you love someone you never stop loving them if you do then you never really loved them in the first place so without a doubt that had to hurt him RIP Chyna
Truly, hhh and jerichos match never gotnhe hype from the crowd after rock and hogan over blew the arena. Rock and hogans match took wrestlemania 18
Triple H was right about some guys that coming out of nowhere, that nobody thinks about and become a star... In a short time after that john cena became a star
6 months after that brock lesnar became champion and hadn't even made his raw debut at the time smh
Test would have been as big as triple h but didn't get the heavyweight push, he did hold every other wwe belt including the now dead hardcore and European belts. Guess Steph thought her new man is better
@rufus566 I am not sure if he still has wrestlers on or not. I gave up on TSN when all of the wrestling moved to The Score.
he has them occasionally. Recently I believe hes had mick foley and bret hart go on (within the last two years or so)
Say what you want trips is the same today as he was then dude gets it
i never understood why Triple H dont like Dolph Ziggler ... Ziggler also likes Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels the most .... and Ziggler is a WWE guy ....
i will never understand why they dont push him but he is still there every week and steals the show...
Ziggler is fucking amazing.
Only if Test remained patient like Edge. Maybe he would have been one of the top guys
Kurt Angle and Brock no question are the final 2.

did u see triple h' s face he looked pissed that michael cut him off or somer
🤣
sure, sure, sure, sure
10:14 he was right
sure sure sure sure
lol! I said Vince Mcmahon at the exact same time Paul did.
oh look we have another cool guy here.
HHH seems like a class act
Very, very rarely. Probably because TSN doesn't show wrestling any more.
WHY did Triple H start out with (as the interviewer was expounding) consecutives Sure.........Sure........Sure......Sure....LOL!!
Sure. Sure. Sure.
damn chyna looked fucking hot in that clip!!
@WWEJunkie08 how is saying that a wrestling isn't at the very top YET a burial?
Bradshaw
sure.
he wasnt around back then
@WWEJunkie08 I'm not sure if you can call that BURY
He didn't say that the blue blood character was invented in wwf.
No. Test never had the IT factor. Plus he wasn't as good as HHH in the ring, on the mic, or charisma-wise.
For the same reason actors, athletes, baseball/basketball/whatever players get paid millions. Cuz the tickets and merchandise make money and they can afford to pay the performers and give them incentive to keep doing what they do.
trust me triple h is tooo smart to keep his image top notch....allllll wrestlers dont jus call him the king OF BACKSTAGE POLITICS for nothin
sagrocket doesn't that title go to Shawn?
A lot of wrestlers don't actually get paid as much as you think...e.g mid carders aren't on millions or even half of that, and the money they do gets taxed and they will be spending their money on the same things we do like tax, insurance and all that other bullshit but they also spend loads on hotels rental cars and things like that so they end up about £30,000 a year...

how is it awkward, he said it about the special olmpics?
@@Sam1c9797 yeah he was being genuine, don't understand why people keep mentioning it.
@@bubbacalling people like him are idiots
How did u & HBK Come up with the. DX concept
Yeah, I'm sure Triple H will get back to you from an interview from 2002 on some random youtube channel. Dumb ass....
Shit at this point in time flairs career was longer than triple h's life. Lol
wow did you see his face after chyna interview he knew he was wrong the way he did things he sucks he slept his way to the top and scamed his way to everything he has
But Paul always a true legend and gentleman out the ring
No, but the average obsever would interpret it that way... talking about how the WWF required guys to have a gimmick back then, and how he came in as the blueblood. He never alludes to the wcw years, so in the context of the discussion, it makes it seem like they're the ones who slapped it on him.
Lord When will Triple H age? Lol Hes looked the same since 2003 lol
bottom line Triple H stabbed jaunie in the back. however he and stephanie are happily married. I have not a dam thing bad to say about that.
***** he dated her. He seemed to find her attractive.. so yes, I can still blame him
***** lol. Okay
***** i don't have a problem with him moving on. I have an issue with how he moved on. The break process was wrong
***** I understand
@The Cambot shut tf up idiot no she is not she was a beautiful girl
At that point Kurt Angle would of owned everyone in a fight. When Brock showed up he would of taken the whose the real badass crown.
88smjls Kurt Angle won in a real fight with Brock once
+Paul Bob (WormLee) kurt may be fun to watch on wwe..but druing ATTITUDE ERA.. brock was no match to that olympic GOLD medalist for sure....
angle > lesnar. nuff said
I do feel for Chyna though she was forced out
he os too smart to make all c his "good nature"
McHitler
Haha you can tell this is old! The raptors suck!
I think Triple H right lol About the Babe Ruth thing, and ppl, oh the part timers lol They getting all the spotlight, it's not fairrr lol I mean like Triple H said, it's like if Babe Ruth came back to play baseball, you honestly gonna whine about the fact he's getting so much attention lol
Like The Rock has come BACK lol To wrestle, and ppl like, oh why is he getting the top matches, people here all year round, and I mean, it's THE ROCK lol What the hell you expect lol Be happy the Rock even there, that elevates the whole thing lol The whole show.
Back in those puffy days. He looked ridiculous, especially wearing the leather and jean jackets at the same time lol.
It was one jacket and he looked hot.
LOL at Triple H's reaction to Chyna XD
-Don Rubix
@sneksnekitsasnek no
-Don Rubix
haha exactly
he is a joke. they have to, I mean HAVE TO rethink his character
the diamond in the rough was jeff hardy
well he was right about Edge at least lol
Right about Edge wrong about Test but he could've said RVD, the hardy boyz, and Christian
jerome williams takeover
why was triple h saying sure so much at the beginning lol
Test never went anywhere and is now dead.
Edge was #1 for years though.
lol
7:25 gave Hunter the idea for his gimmick #reignofterror
BS, HHH ripped off The Franchise Shane Douglas flat out.
Test is fucking dead.
Chyna probably took more steroids than any superstar in WWE history.
No, but probably more than any other woman. Well, other than Nicole Bass.
triple h's forehead is FUCT
KingD500 lol u got your wish
Guys, if u don't want to be with a girl, just dump her!!!! Cheating on her is the laziest thing in the world!
