10 Weird Secrets To Wrestlers' Success

1. Triple H - Meeting Several Convenient Friends

It's really quite fortuitous, the career of Triple H.

They say you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends. And Triple H did a remarkable job of that. Really, "uncanny" is the word, particularly when you consider how much those picks benefitted his career!

Triple H as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, despite being a teetotaller having little in common with the hard-partying Kliq lads, found a common bond with them nonetheless. He was always on hand to lift them up. They really valued his loyalty.

And then, after meeting by pure chance a WWF Champion of a best mate, he fell in love with Stephanie McMahon, and they began a love affair that saw him rise in the corridors of power. And why not, eh? It would be silly, not applying his knowledge of pro wrestling when he had Vince's ear, right? He was already part of WWE, and a successful one, to boot!

Look, it's probably very, very coincidental, Triple H's social circle. Really. And you can say a lot about the man, but you can never deny his loyalty to his own: he did a great deal in bringing more than one of his old friends back from the brink.

Still could have carried Goldberg with same conviction he did a holdall bag.
