Triple H's 10 Most Notorious Urban Legends

The career of Hunter Hearst Helmsley (real name Paul Levesque) in WWE has spanned nearly 20 years. He started in 1995 as a midcard wrestler that was using the rich aristocrat gimmick. His rise to prominence in WWE was similar to a lot of wrestlers in that he started at the bottom, became an Intercontinental Champion, King of the Ring and eventually a WWE Champion as well. Hunter became a top guy mostly as a heel known simply as Triple H. He noted on Chris Jericho's podcast this week that his good friend Shawn Michaels was calling him Triple H at the beginning of his career and eventually Vince McMahon okayed it as a full time thing in 1997. Hunter went on to win 13 WWE World Titles and was a fixture in the main event scene from 1999 to 2011 when he stopped wrestling full time. These days his career is mostly out of the ring. While he did wrestle in a few matches this year, his main job is that of the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and the on screen Chief Operating Officers of WWE. Basically he's in the same role that his father-in-law Vince McMahon was doing on television nearly every week 15 years ago. Whether you like him or not, there's no denying that he's been a major player in WWE for a long time and will continue to be for decades to come. He's the right hand man to Vince, he's running the developmental system and along with his wife Stephanie, he has a major say in everything that WWE does. There have been a lot of stories about Triple H over the years too. Some good. Some bad. It all depends on what you think of the man. As always we'll tell you what the story is, why people believe and whether we should believe it too. Here's a closer look at some of the urban legends about WWE's on screen COO, "The Game" Triple H.
