Biography
Triple H calls himself "The
Game," and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who disagrees with that
assumption.
For all intensive purposes, Triple H could be called one of the most improved
superstars of 1996 and 1997, as he overcame the heavy hand of Federation
officials to become not only the Intercontinental Champion by beating Marc Mero,
but the 97 King of the Ring as well in a tournament final win over Mankind!
Following his victory for the cape and crown in June, Hunter entered into a
vicious and bloody fued with Mankind--facing the Boiler Room Dweller at July's
"Canadian Stampede" and a steel cage showdown as August's SummerSlam.
Since making his WWE debut in the spring of 1995, Hunter Hearst Helmsley has
done it all in the sports-entertainment industry. He's the only man in the
history of the business to have been a Grand Slam Champion and to have won King
of the Ring and the Royal Rumble.
HHH has long been assossated with Shawn "Heart Break Kid" Michaels. After their
war seemingly came to a halt, HHH's longstanding friendship with Shawn Michaels
was revealed, leading to the formation of D-Generation X. In the months that
followed, DX would become one--if not THE--most controversial and influential
groups in the history of professional wrestling. Their first strike was the
total destruction of the Hart Foundation, which was accomplished when Shawn beat
Bret Hart at the '97 Survivor Series for the Federation Title. Next, the trio
viciously mauled the Legion of Doom, and took credit for nearly ending their
careers!
After claiming that Shawn Michaels "dropped the ball" at WrestleMania XIV,
Triple H has taken over as the leader for DX! During his first night in power,
Hunter turned the wrestling world on end by announcing the formation of the DX
ARMY. After introducing X-Pac to the world, Triple H also revealed that the New
Age Outlaws had officially joined the faction as well! With D-Generation X now
five members strong--and possibly growing in the near future--they have become
the most powerful force in all of wrestling!
HHH later left his DX roots at WrestleMania 15 by turning on former friend
X-Pac, he wrestled through the summer of 99 with one goal, becoming the WWF
Heavyweight Champion he fought the Rock at the July 99 Fully Loaded pay-per-view
defeating him in a strap match to become number one contender. HHH went on to
SummerSlam to face Austin and ManKind in a Triple Threat Match for the title,
HHH did not walk away with the title that night but less then 24 hours later on
RAW, HHH faced ManKind for the Heavyweight Title defeating him with the pedigree
and becoming the WWF Heavyweight Champion. HHH is sure to be a name cemented in
the WWF for a long time to come.
Triple H's dedication to the business was never more evident than on the May 21,
2001, episode of RAW. On that night, The Game teamed with Stone Cold Steve
Austin to take on Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in a Tag Team Championship
match. During the bout, Triple H tore his left quadriceps muscle completely off
the bone. Yet The Game found the heart to finish the bout, never once even
thinking about giving up.
After eight months of hellacious rehab, The Game returned to a hero's welcome on
the Jan. 7, 2002, episode of RAW. Now a fan favorite for the first time in
years, Triple H has also broken up with his wife, Stephanie McMahon and signed
with RAW, where he finds himself at the top of WWE once again.
