My dad died of a sudden heart attack from the same type of blockage some years back. Not the biggest fan of HHH, but am glad the guy's going to be around for his wife and kids.
❤️❤️❤️
Bless the millionaires. These people really deserve all the love in the world 🤣🤡
Mine too and me too. Hope you are ok.
@@tripvic7629 hahahha I know right... fuck HHH
@@tripvic7629 Chynas ghost coming for revenge
I always saw HHH as the guy someone had to beat to get to the top, he was the final test for a wrestler so definitely one of the best
Exactly, the guy that worked with whoever Vince chose as THE guy.
He just had the influence to put himself in that position. I think being in that spot made him, more than he got over to earn that spot.
@@mgk2020 he got the title in 1999 b4 steph tho....
One might even say he's the game.
@@zekegillespie1486 Marriage isn't the only form of politicking and lots of guys have held a title without being a legend, an all time great, etc. He's good, I just think his legacy exceeds his actual ability.
This man went from a British aristocrat to the cerebral assassin to the king of kings .what a legend
Wasn't he supposed to be French?
He was French
@@theeverchosen1504 Oui, oui!
*He held other workers down and played politics to get to the top and stay there.*
@@MattSingh1 who he held down, that didn't become a big star?
My dad had this kind of a heart attack and somehow it bypassed itself just like HHH. The cardiologist showed him the picture and told him to pin it to the refrigerator and then buy a lottery ticket. But a nod to HHH. The real deal and provided many good times for the fans for many years.
“Life finds a way”
Is anyone surprised he wouldn't put Death over?
I had a very similar thing happen in March 2017
levesque would be nothing if he didn't marry the bosses daughter.
pusang halaw he was a good mid car IC guy. Would he have gotten a push? His body in 2000 prolly gets him a heel push to go against Rock and Austin but that’s prolly the extent Of where he goes.
I've always thought he appealed to Stephanie in part because he wasn't a fuck up. That being said, HHH was already a household name to any wrestling fan even in the late 90s. He's definitely had a hell of a career.
He was a legit student of the game. I became a bigger fan of his when he was doing great stuff in NXT (2015-2019) and with the CWC and UK tournament
Not a fuck up. Just a suck up
Household name is a stretch
Triple H was the foil to everyone's favorite wrestler. Put respect on his name.
That's my GOAT. 🎮🎮🎮
My personal favorite…THANK YOU! His push started BEFORE Stephanie so I’ll never understand some of the claims people make about her being the only reason for his push smh good mic work,solid in ring and took some bumps in some brutal matches.
for the record… I woulda left chyna for steph too in a heartbeat 😂
@@x_bmore_410x Chyna also believed Nose's push was before Stephanie. Are you just as clueless?
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 What does that even mean
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 have you seen what happened to her and x pac? Triple h glad he left that junkie
I will always love hhh for being enemy #1 to the wrestling observer reader marks
That’s actually Kevin nash
Those smarks are still mad that he beat RVD🤣🤣 embarrassing
Hey yo when did him and rvd face?
@@botchamaniajeezus it’s wear rvd was saying that he liked how triple h spit water
Hahahahaha. Real heels make the fans, dirt sheet people, and Corny angry. 😈😈😈
His return in 2002 was something special. I remember the vignettes they played in the weeks leading up to his return. His heel run from August 1999-May 2001 is something that can’t be matched. I loved his rivalry with Foley and Austin. The three stages of hell match was excellent story telling. His reign of terror was horrible, BUT he made Big Gold matter. He helped make Batista with that whole story.
Jesus Christ Brian, should he have sat down with Walter fucking Cronkite for you to be happy?! He literally had a heart problem & now has a pacemaker, let’s put him under some stress with an interview that makes Brian Last happy.
Brian Last is the old head Smark leader. He legitimately thinks he's one of "the boys". It's crazy how serious people can take wrestling and it's usually for booking reasons which is truly sad.
Dude is a real low life
Corny was the one who accused smith of giving a shitty interview
@@davyjones2032 Brian last will always be bootleg Conrad to me
Can be a good co-host with Corny but man he is so self-righteous and preachy. Straight up insufferable at times.
"I'm not a doctor, I'm just a small town bird lawyer"
Love ya Jim
It's not as deep as Brian tried to make it, Stephen A. Smith is a huge name, of course WWE would want someone with his fame interviewing Triple H.
Exactly. You think major sports personalities just line up to review wrestlers? hardly. Do they want them to drag this guy because he wasn't hard on a guy who had a heart attack lol.
@@poocrayon4588 yep, there aren't a ton of big name sports journalists chomping at the bit to interview a wrestler, the fact that the biggest name in US sports journalism bothered to interview a wrestler is a miracle in itself.
Plus as you said the guy just suffered heart failure, nobody would give him an intense tough interview anyway and WWE knows that.
Very underrated are his mic skills. His promos don't pump you up like Austin's or Rock's but they never sound forced and he always sounds confident.
The two HHH matches I remember most are Cactus Jack at RR2000 and Austin at NWO2001. Those and others like the Rock ladder match will always be something to remember, along with the Motorhead themes being "HIS" thing.
The two matches you mentioned here are two of my favorite wrestling matches of all time. Both were just perfect. Amazing storytelling throughout.
Add WM2012 vs. Taker in HIAC
Except he had no business beating Austin. Even tho he always did. Somehow.
I usually agree. But HHH was a top guy a lot earlier than Bryan is saying. He was a top guy/household name by early 2000’s I would say.
He was drawing record numbers in house shows without rock and austin on shows in 00. He was top draw from 00 - 10 just as many years as Cena. They were equal in years on top during that decade according to WON.
Brian is a clown
Triple H needed help from the click, then D/X and then being married to Stephanie. He was never the Rock, Steve Austin, Undertaker or Foley. Or Cena for that matter. But he was good.
@@Batony Jerry Lynn and Kid Kash were way better too
@@Batony People can have negative opinions about him. I don't want these thoughts censored or have people silenced. Haha. But the numbers don't lie.
When he came back from his first quad injury. He got one of the loudest pops ever .
The loudest pops at MSG I've ever heard way before the renovation a few years ago are
1. HHH Returns
2. Sid entrance vs HBK
3. Cena RR Return
4. Larry Johnson's 4 point play
5. Rangers win the cup
@@keithharper1470 I'd add CM Punk's return in AEW.
Don't have to like him but it was what it was.
Jan 7 2002. I was there. It was epic and emotional.
I call bullshit on Brian. I was a big fan of HHH early on as a kid and I'm an average schlub so there has to be a lot of other average schlub kids who felt like I did. Everyone seems to forget the response he recieved from the crowd when he came back after his quad tear. One of the loudest pops I've ever heard.
Brian is usually full of shit.
If people actually watched raw 1999-2002 Triple h was one of the most over wrestlers in the business.
@@heyyo7431 tbf it's really easy to be over in those times
@@jamirimaj6880 Oh yea you’re right because there was no wannabe fantasy booking smarks who complained about booking decisions.
@@LordChrome375 I guess Brian last is a big fan of Chyna lol.
HHH will always be a beast. People's favorite thing to talk about was when he finished that tag team match with a torn quad which don't get me wrong s really impressive but him finishing the elimination chamber match with a crushed throat is next level tough S.O.B shit.
I feel like that last one doesn't get talked about enough.
Stephen A. Smith is the smartest guy in the room...until someone else shows up. You don't believe me, just ask him.
1999-2000 Triple H was in the "best in the world" conversation just as Bryan or Roman or Brock are in right now (although that was helped along by most of his competitors getting hurt or aging out across the world). I still hold that version of HHH as the one people should remember, McMcahon-Helmsley era HHH absolutely was that guy on the level of Rock, Austin, Vince etc as someone who held his own in the main cast. In middle school everyone I knew was all about HHH and said he was the best wrestler, it was all about him or Kane. If you were a detention regular, HHH was your icon: he hooked up with the "principal's" daughter and crotch-chopped and caused mayhem everywhere he went.
I lost my dad from a heart attack, his widowmaker was also almost completely. I convinced to go to a doctor cuz he looked gray - his appt was on Monday, he died Friday.
I lost my dad at 24, I wouldn't wish that on anyone and HHH has three kids.
I'm very sorry to hear that and that you went through that.
I lost my dad at 17, but that was due to him having stage 4 lung cancer.
My dad died March 3rd 2022. Im 26, its definitely life altering.
@@JackTheripper911 I know the words don't mean much (they didn't to me) but I am sorry - it's the fucking worst, no other way to put it. If you ever want to talk, feel free to reach out.
Triple H is one of the most driven and dedicated wrestlers. Insane amount of professionalism and tremendous work ethic, major props to him.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6?
Jesus STFU already, you'd do the same damn thing in his position.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? he was always going to be big with his promo and look. Give me a break dude ur delusional
#Respect to you Sidd, from a lifelong HHH fan.🎮🎮🎮
heavily abused steroids, refuses to take responsibility and blames it on a hereditary condition, great role model to the kids
The rotating rivalries between HHH, Austin and The Rock and his programme with Mick Foley was incredible. One of the best era's in history. I'm sad we won't see him in the ring again knowing its his last hoorah but even more glad he is getting through it and will hopefully be around for a long time to come. His final match being at Wrestlemania vs Batista was a fitting end.
Jim is one of the kings of the Slick Jab. "Scott Hall's knowledge of the wrestling business. And Nash's knowledge of politics." Cleverly places a compliment of Hall right before a clear shot at Nash😂. Corny's a true magician.
I thought for a second he meant politics as in politics, which would be strange because Nash is liberal. I see he meant locker room politicking
@@moses0686 Cornette is liberal too
@@MBM1117727 that’s why he said that because corny would agree with him on the side of politics but not on the side of polotiques that the clique did
that J-A-B is why he nearly died also
@@randyortonsbulge True but doesn't mean that Cornette doesn't think Nash was "good" at backstage politics, just that backstage politics is shitty.
No disrespect to Foley but more people know Triple H than Foley. It’s revisionist by Last to act like H wasn’t on that level when the crowd reaction and main events put him there. He was the top guy from like 02-05
💯💯💯
Nah it's revisionism by fans to portray him as just as the same level as austin or rock.
@@maxxdahl6062 I don't know where you got that. Neither Taker or Foley were at that level too. They were in a tier below in which Triple H belongs.
@@zoraizasim2459 No, Triple H should be in a tier below where they belong. He never would have sold out a wrestlemania by himself like Rock, Austin or Hogan would have. He always needed paired up with the person drawing those houses. And take the line Schiavone said about Foley winning the title. I'd damn near bet one of my limbs not that many people would have switched had he said it were Triple H instead of Foley. Hell that line probably would have worked instead of failed spectacularly.
@@maxxdahl6062 no one never said that, read what the OP said again. Is not hard to understand
No matter what these guys say, if you were a fan of the top heel growing up, those 20 min segments of HHH starting off raw, were great.
There wasn't anyone else outside of the good guys , who could work the crowd from the mic.
It's weird that alot of people don't give him the credit he is due.
Its retarded. People cry about shit that doesnt matter. "whaa he held other down with muh politics!". Like any of that mattered to the fans. You wouldnt even know this crap if kayfabe was still around and everyone didnt shit on each other behind the scenes lol
That was his worse times imo
He made Big Gold matter more than the WWE championship during his reign of terror. No one can deny that.
wassup with brian going full on wwe hater mode like really dude is a clown 🤡🤡
I got use to it.. dude really said “wwe gave triple h a softball of an interview.” H almost died why would he want some pressing questions. I try to mute the video when Brian start talking!
Kinda guys who like Conrad or keepin it 100. Yea complain about Last
@@erockpatton Conrad's just as big of a prick as last just in a different way
@@bigdaddyroy5382 They're like two evil twins on opposite sides of the planet.
"Shaking like a dog, shitting peach seeds" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This man is a national treasures 😎
Hes okay, unless hes talking politics. He needs to face Russo in a debate tho. Cant hide forever!
@@Rschr101 While I don't agree with his politics 100% of the time, it's his show, and he can say what he wants. And he can talk circles around shit stain on any given day and twice on Sunday!!! "Bro, bro, bro, bro" is all you're gonna hear from Russo 😁
For like 15 years he was the top guy or maybe second behind John Cena, at least according to the crowd reaction he always had since his return in 2002
He was never the top guy. He's the guy who works with the top guy.
@@Saturday2015 BS narrative that’s been proven wrong many of times. You guys get moist off of sting, jeff hardy but hate triple h🤣
Yeah that’s definitely true the crowd reaction thing. Since about the year 2000, wether it was boos or cheers he ALWAYS got the crowd reaction. After 2002 even as a heel he was cheered a lot
@@Saturday2015 are you talking about cm punk?
@@Saturday2015 he was the top guy from 2003-2005
Triple H is one of the greatest heels of all time and Brian's attitude toward him just proves it to me. Triple H and Edge were the only guys during it all to make me scream at my tv
proves how much of a mark Brian is tbh lol
The only time I screamed at my tv with him, it was something like "Why won't this guy just go away, and never return?"
With more swear words.
Triple H's reign of terror in 2003 made me turn it off and watch something else finally, so it's probably not that great
@@AnEternalEnigma im pretty sure a heel is supposed to make you mad LOL
To me the thing that separates HHH from others was his drive. He was never satisfied with being satisfied. He always wanted more and would put in the work and effort to improve at whatever he was doing. People can make remarks about him being married into the family, but no one gets that far with their career "just because"
Agreed, his career was taking off long before he married stephanie mcmahon.
I’m finding the other wrestlers making those remarks are The Paul Romas of the world, who couldn’t cut the mustard.
I mean the only other person that was as successful as Triple H was would’ve been Hogan and we know part of the reason Hogan succeeded was in large part because of Crowd reaction which Triple J did not have by comparison.
Trippix, I appreciate those kind words. It means a lot to this lifelong HHH fan. HHH'S my GOAT. Not just for his character, look, promo, and ring work. But his unrivaled work ethic, ambitiousness, and passionate respect for wrestling history. He wasn't born "in" the business like Rock or Orton. But it's as if he was born FOR the business. There won't be another like him.
@@ahmeddemha6112 HHH is responsible for the biggest pop in wwe history
I feel for him. I had 15 to 20 percent functioning of my heart 90 percent blocked in front wall of my heart. 80 percent in my sidewall of my heart. I had 3 stents put in my heart and then put a difiburator put in me. Just like Triple H. I hope he gets better. I had mine go off 3 times in a hour. The shocks go off at 181 heart rate. It hurts like hell feels like you got kicked by a horse.
Sheesh man. I’m glad you’re still here with us stay strong 🦾🦾
@@MrSweetpoeticjustice thanks man It's been a battle since June of last year. appreciate the kind words.
Stay strong brother.
Foda-se meu. You're a warrior, keep strong big man!💪
They didn't try to take out the blockage?
Triple H is one of the best. He was a good babyface but was an incredible heel. I remember hating him so much 😂 Its a shame he won’t be able to have a proper retirement match. But the good thing is that he’s still here with us. He wasn’t appreciated until he was gone from the business.
I never bought triple h for a second as a Baby-face, he was a natural heel, he just had a heel aura about him
His very first run as a face with DX-Army was good. But other than that return at MSG he never connected as a face. But as a heel? He's one of WWE's best.
No one wanted another match from him, stop it.
@@electrolettuce5624 he trained under killer kowalski. He was an incredible heel. Trips learned a lot from him
Triple H was a natural heel for sure
“He sure showed Shawn how to get out of doing a job” 😂 all love to Trips
The beauty that he did with NXT will be missed forever….I don’t care what the fuck y’all say about him. NXT was awesome with him in it ❤️
Next was never good you should watch the attitude era and ecw hardcore tv
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? He also stole the top stars from other promotions including contract tampering trying to put them out of business.
Then taking credit like these guys trained in NXT u under him.
Fuck all these people
NXT was the best wrestling going for a while
I still say the loudest pop I ever heard was when Triple H returned from the quad injury on RAW in 2002, that crowd really blew the roof off the place.
First off, it was reall serious, the man has a defib in his chest, dang, that means his heart could stop at any minute, he REALLY REALLY almost died and it was off just what he was doing, not that BS these dirt sheets were saying and making fun of it. ALSO It had nothing to do with softball questions, Brian Last just hates everything and thinks he will put someone in WWE in a corner and be a tough guy, lame ass.
Yes he could die at any moment. This is as serious as it gets.
He was brilliant in 2000. His match with CJ at the 2000 Rumble was a classic.
He Was The Best Heel They Had From Summer of 1999-August 2000
every match he had in 2000 2001 was a classic with cactus jack the rock benoit jericho angle taker and austin
"CJ" 😂😂
@@sobbyhasselhoff They could had used Y2j lol
@@sobbyhasselhoff it took me a sec, I was like CJ Black? Lana? Oh Chris Jericho.
“I’m not a goddamn fireman!”
Is pretty damn classic!
And a 40 ft cord for my dam phone
Brian Last Stfu HHH was THE heel of 1999-06 tf u talking about he was so heel he turned vince face at one point. He was literally the game he was top guy and when austin went down the numbers went up with his feud with the rock they averaged more viewers in 2000 with HHH as champion and their feud was on SNL when the rock hosted in 2000, and he got the loudest pop ive ever heard HHH is the greatest heel of his era period.
💯💯💯
I'm just glad he's still here with us. great wrestler with the single best theme song ever
Single best? No... Multiple best.
The Game, King of Kings, My Time, Evolve, Line in the sand, DX. Take your pick, the man had a slew of them.
@@jaymeister4850 My Time was on my top 5 most listened to songs on Spotify last year😂
@@gatesofwrestling What was number one??
Triple H Is Truly Legendary Man,Thank You To Him!!🔥🐐🐐❤️🙏🙏
I’m not sure how you think HHH isn’t the level of Mick Foley??? But ok
#HHHATERSGonnaHate
I hope he gets a Raw segment like the one he gave to Flair after he retired. He deserves his flowers before he fades away
Nah, hes had his flowers most of his career. Got to beat everybody and win every title cuz his wife wrote the show.
My favorite version of Triple H was the 2000/2001 version when he was the ultimate heel to stone cold and the Rock, great matches and rivalries
Mine was when he retired and my next version is ehen he leaves all together and we can pray wrestling will come back to the way it was.
I had a similar problem when I was 18. Had a "fast track" develop from a bad valve. The heart will find a way to pump until well it stops
Jim is not making sense. All those wrestlers were baby faces, HHH is known as a heel. Of course he worked with who drew the money. All of them, it was him
My absolute favorite thing, the thing I look forward to,is Jim going absolutely off doing a promo for a sponsor and Brian having to play straight guy and drag it all back in. It is so cool and old school and fun and I love that bit more than I have words for.
"So I got this vaccine and started having crazy cardiac problems. Weird, huh?"
Stress will kill you! Imagine working for Vince that close while running one of the WWEs brands, then having it taken away from you, and on top of that having him as a father in law! I just hope he slows down and takes care of himself and his family and tells Vince to F Off!
steroids had a lot more to do with it then stress
@@fwef7445 steroids and HGH will enlarge your heart forcing it to work harder, but I doubt they clog your arteries (unless I'm missing something). I always thought HHH was a health nut and always ate well.
@@fwef7445 So if that's the reason then why is Vince Himself never had problems? He was more jacked than HHH and still is today probably! Oh and why isn't Hulk Hogan having issues. Think about that!
Damn you're blaming Vince McMahon for the dudes health too? You guys really act as if you know these people personally.
HHH literally said his heart problem was hereditary dating back to his great grandfather you damn clown!!
It wasn't a softball. Hhh was asked if he could handle the challenge of creating another Hogan and Rock. The interview had many different elements to it. It was complimentary (as it should've been when you look at HHH's legacy and current situation), but it was also infomative. It was well done.
❣❣❣
Idk what they were expecting from a interview that was literally promoted as an update on his health and future, I swear the FED bad bias on everyone who works there is so annoying from Brian.
I have now zero respect for Last. I pray for his children, sincerely
You dont have to like him , but dont forget he’s a human with family. So glad he’s okay and will always be one of the top heels during the attitude/ruthless aggression era
I’m 28 and really stopped watching around 2007 but for me trips was THE heel. You loved to boo him. He had legit animosity with the crowd it felt like. Idk. I’ve always been a huge fan and I hope for the best concerning the game.
🎮🎮🎮
The real sad thing is that marks will think, it's because Vince took away NXT, no it wasn't if you listen to the story, HHH was having health issues before the NXT rebranding and couldn't do the daily duties, it was steadily declining. That's when Shawn took over, they weren't sure if he would be back.
The way y’all keep squeezing Foley in there with Austin Rock or takers triple H was closer to them then any version of mick foley. Let’s be honest
His involvement with them always felt like a good participation award from Vince. not knocking Foley’s legacy at all but it’s clear as day how WWE truly regarded him. the revisionist history is insane.
Never saw Foley as a true main event guy. Same as Kane. Triple H was by far more of a marquee name
So it took near death for ppl to finally appreciate this GOAT....
Yes. It takes near death experience to being out the best if the hypocrisy in people. As usual.
I've been down with HHH since the beginning. These fraudulent "fans" with their sudden praise is suspect.
Cornette - “Triple H was always the guy who worked with the guy who drew the money”
Well, the guy who drew the money needed someone in the ring who was good enough to draw the money. Imagine Stone Cold drawing money against Hurricane. Or Imagine The Rock against Scotty 2 Hotty when the Undertaker came back as the American Bad Ass.
Triple H is the second best heel of all time after Ric Flair and there is no argument there.
I interpreted that as a compliment from Cornette while stating facts about 3H
@@heresyisprogress before this video, it was always a jab. This time it sounds like he is complimenting him.
@@adeelthegame before this video it wasn’t. He was just stating the truth. That’s like saying “the sky is blue” is a knock on the sky.
Completely agree. And also about him marrying stephanie. Imagine if she married someone like hurricane or Brian Kendrick or Jamie noble, would they have the career that Triple H had just because of stephanie? Hell no! People would never buy them as main event caliber guy and a world champion.
Please don't let Triple H become Triple Bypass
Lol that’s a great name for him now!
Making fun of someone’s health isn’t funny what if your health starts to have issues as karma ?
@@zlord1199
looks like we found the life of the party, folks.
Triple Heart Bypass
@@gunnarjordan3950 That's distasteful.
Last can be the shit sometimes Jesus Christ
I always saw HHH on the level as Rock and Austin he was the guy they feuded with
The helix sleep promo had me nearly spit out my coffee. Hilarious.
Well done Corny!
A defibrillator - when it detects your heart in a "abnormal rhythm" will shock it with a specified voltage to "get the heart back into the correct rhythm".
That would probably hurt and feel weird as hell
@@Rodshark75 I can only imagine.
I don't understand BL's disrespect towards Triple H in the first few mins?
Never been the biggest HHH fan, but I think people forget sometimes how popular he got in 2001 especially after the retiring Foley, stuff like the love triangle with Steph and Angle, and his high quality title runs in 2000. I remember hearing reports of the whole arena booing when he didn’t come back from his quad tear at Vengeance 2001, for instance. He might not have been Rock or Austin, but he got close.
They didn't forget they just try and change history based off how they feel now. Same reason they'll talk about "draws" yet don't mention Goldberg since he can't wrestle, as if that actually mattered at all.
@@davyjones2032 Maybe, but even then I’ve noticed that a lot of the smark opinion turned around on him since the NXT stuff, so its nowhere near as negative as it was even 10 years ago. Again, never the biggest fan, but I think he’s got a nice legacy no matter what perspective you’re looking from.
@@Thecallmemisterajp true. They like the NXT version of HHH. I'm the opposite as I like the wrestler. Then again I don't really care about who is running a program anyway.
@Noah 1217 Smith That KOTR 2002 match against Undertaker was a five-star classic!
Before CM Punk's return this year in my opinion the best return ovation ever was when Triple H came back at MSG from a torn quad. The fans went crazy and Triple H looked so fucking badass. Like, never had someone looked more like a badass professional wrestler than Triple H did in that moment.
Dr. Brisn Sutterer on YT went through the medical points that HHH revealed. My mom has been a nurse for over 50 years. Mom backed up Dr. Sutterer's point that HHH is lucky to be alive, period.
Ex NHL goalie Henrik Lunqvuist had a heart condition that was managed for years. I would have to find citations, but it got to the point where surgery was needed. Henrik is 40 years old and in elite shape. Heart surgery took about a year for recovery. But Lundqvist had to retire.
HHH had open heart surgery! It will take him a year or more to recover. But HHH is in good shape for his age. He should be able to live a normal quality of life. Hopefully, HHH sees his daughters grow up and life a long life. That is all that matters.
Lundqvuist and Triple H, both known as "King"
@@TheSnatchbuckler Lundqvist is the King of Nothing
@@pens87668 Lundqvuist is one of the best to ever play. Stats show it, his teammates attest to it, and so did anyone who played against him.
@@TheSnatchbuckler Crosby and Ovi owed him. Sure he was a great goalie, but he never won a cup. If he played anywhere but New York, he’d be a Luongo in that he won a lot of games, but isn’t revered like a Roy or Brodeur.
@@pens87668 I think you meant "owned", but to be fair, Crosby and Ovechkin owned pretty much everybody. They're star players, and role players on their teams. And they had contemporaries. Lundqvuist was also a star player. And, honestly, I can't think of anyone from his generation that was as good a goaltender, team leader, and ambassador for the game like Lundqvuist. I know that stuff is subjective, but I find it hard to name another. I'd gladly consider anyone that you think met those marks, but it's gonna be a short list. Nobody will ever be another Roy, or Brodeur, or any of the other legends. For his generation, though, Lundqvuist is one of the greatest, in my opinion.
Triple H is one guy who really redeemed himself. From everybody accusing him of not putting anyone over and marrying his way to the top. He got every indu guy (some of them not deserving) over. Smart guy
@Dave chinois??😜
He was a 2 time WWF champion before getting with Stephanie.
Absolutely, not to mention being absolutely awesome in the ring, on the mic, HELL EVEN ON COMMENTARY his commentary appearance in Lockdown was great! Very talented, great PR guy, good with kids etc
@@bez_ Jim Ross commentary during his reigns were a thing of absolute beauty and hilarious.
Only his haters accused him of that.
HHH was “THE” heel that meant you were at the TOP when you beat him. He was the final boss. Lol

we just lost Scott Hall, let's not lose Trips now too. Just stay safe and enjoy your life.
Love him or hate him the dude literally was on track to take over the largest company in wrestling thats ever existed. He did exactly whats been reported that he said he was going to do.
Anytime you hear that guitar riff intro from Motorhead you're guaranteed a pop.
💯💯💯
I believe what HHH had is a pacemaker/defibrillator. I know several people with these devices. So it both has the functionality of a pacemaker & when needed a defibrillator to pretty much keep him alive. My dad had one after a quadruple bypass. His defibrillator went off while on a ladder once, dam near killed him! Lol
Correct.
That's a hard irony. The thing designed to keep him alive damn near kills him.
@@mykoniichistorychannel YUP. My Dad was a tough guy, not in the way of beating people up, just that whatever happened to him he pushed through where most people would have given up!! At 80 years old when his defibrillator went off on the ladder and he saw that doctor after he asked the doctor if they could make the device warn him before being shocked. The doctor asked why, and he told him about it going off on the ladder. The doctor told him, "Sir you should not be on a ladder" My Dad looked at him and replied "Don't tell me what to do sonny!!"
And he was not kidding!! LOL
Triple H will go down as one of the best heels in the business. In and out of the ring.
Brian got something against HHH idk what it's though
Last acting like this interview should've been brought up at a Congressional hearing.
HHH was 10x bigger than Foley
Human growth hormone will do that
I agree with you, I don't like Mick Greedy Foley at all.
Mick Foley destroyed "Daffney" Shannon's wrestling career and made her life miserable until her death.
@@attitudetv92 corny kisses his ass and elevates him 10000x because they're both in the same leftist commy garbage party.
Why isn’t anyone acknowledging all his years of clear steroid abuse? We all know this is why he’s having these issues.
He will always be the king of kings best of luck in the future
king of steroid abuse
I'll never forget the pop when HHH came back from surgery
I don’t think Cornette realizes how big Triple H truly was and then people who grew up see him. Beside Austin and Rock most of us see Triple H as the next guy. We see him on their level.
For me, HHH was always the guy. I hated Austin and Rock. I loved when HHH beat their asses and was bored everytime Austin wasted beer and stunned people he wasn't even feuds with for no reason every week.
I was sad to hear that Triple H announced retirement from in-ring competition with WWE.
I figured he could probably go another 5-10 more years, but, we all know how well that prediction lasted...
I would pay money to have Corney go up to Triple H and tell him "Paul, I used to think you were a dumb shit, but so many other dumbshits have come by that you moved up the ladder without doing anything."
Really feels like Jim has not just lightened up about Triple H but is now giving him some big credits for what he's done in and for the wrestling business and is now genuinely sympathetic to the guy.
I personally eagerly await for Triple H's new business venture, The Paul Levesque Experience with your host Triple H and co-host the 123 Kid, Sean Waltman
That was quick...I only just saw the actual vids and health takes on it. Jim working harder than ever.
I believe that he records for the experience on Saturdays
I was always a fan of Triple H with the notable exception of when he went on his reign of terror on Raw and was the only singles champion on there (when the Katie Vick thing happened). But when he stepped back a bit I was a fan again.

Seriously, nothing but the best to Paul and his family. ❤️
His legacy will be a mix of good and bad but there no doubt he has a legacy regardless and impact on the industry. Im glad we didn’t lose him because this industry has lost so many guys young.
And God is Stephen A. Smith insufferable.
His legacy will be great no one cares about the politics. Stephen a would make a great heel manager keep hating
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? the KLIQ was good for wrestling. Pay went up, all but Pac were stars, all but Nash were legendary workers. The worst you can say about Triple H is the series of burials he gave out from 02-04, especially RVD and Booker T. Cena’s burial of the Nexus is maybe #1 tho 😂
Stephen A. is doing his job. He’s playing a character.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? Proof of these claims, please. Thanks.
Dx and the crotch chops were common place in my primary school aged up to 11 in the UK, even those who didn’t watch knew him and Michael’s from being on the cover of the console games which everyone always played, the crotch chops were fully a thing in the uk amongst my age group (I’m 22 now)
The kids here in America were doing the Dx chop too...
@@bobwatson1162 to be honest by the time it got to my age group (2007) or so it wasn’t suck it it was more making an x like ‘dx’ not what it was originally
Everyone person here has spit out water like Triple H
I'm sure the years of steroid use didnt help matters but is anybody creeped out that he was vaxxed and suddenly developed heart problems?
He was one of the best, and also I'm guessing we know who the showcase mode will be about next year in 2k
I hope so!!! It’ll be amazing to have some retro versions of Triple H, DX, McMahon-Helmsley Regime, Evolution etc. From the blue blood to the King of Kings. Triple H has had one of the coolest careers of all time.
Whether you love him or hate him, he was a massive part of the attitude era, he became the man you had to beat to be THE top guy.....and he started to develop a brand in NXT that was at one time one of the best things out there that you could watch.....even if you think others made him look better than he was, find a wrestler he didn't have an amazing match with....The Rock, Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Batista, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Owen Hart, Mick Foley, John Cena, Randy Orton.....he had a classic at one time or another with every single one of them.....I know many people think of Ric Flair when they see that big Gold belt.....but I still see Triple H every time I see it......
Triple H was as over as any of the others mentioned. A wrestling legend.
❤❤❤ Respect to you for respecting my GOAT.
Thank you. Was my favorite wrestler as a kid. Although Austin, Rock, Goldberg, and the Disco Inferno we're close lol.
@@davyjones2032Ha! 🕺 I remember hearing Disco tell a story about him and HHH going to a strip joint. Had no idea they were friends. It's somewhere on YT.
Take out Vince McMahon, and He was the biggest bad guy in the history of the most famous era in pro wrestling.
Yup. That's the thing about Vince too. He was one of the biggest stars of Attitude Era himself. People don't realize he knows how to be a star first hand.
Top 15 in ring. Top 4 for absolute true success
💯💯💯
For a goodnight sleep, never work for Vince".
That's true... I saw in Terry bolea's book that Vince reminded him "sleep is ur enemy" lol
The only way SAS would give HHH a difficult interview, is if he was a Cowboys fan.
Yooo facts🤣🤣🤣🤣
The heart creating new and smaller arteries to channel the blood is actually a real thing. That happened to my Dad when he needed triple bypass surgery.
In all honesty, his last big match was against Randy Orton in Saudi Arabia. That would've potentially been his last opponent even if he had his say in the matter. And he took the loss in that match.
Some see him as a legend and a hero, some see him as a serial backstage politician. Hell, some see him as both at the same time.
All I know is that Triple H, DX and Evolution were a major part of my childhood and watching this interview was rather awful.
I hope to God that Triple H takes all the time he needs to get back behind the scenes...if he wants to come back at all. If he decides to call it quits and spend the rest of his life out of the spotlight, I'm good with that too.
