Full Triple H Biography
Paul Michael Levesque (born July 27, 1969) is an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Triple H, an abbreviation of his former Hunter Hearst Helmsley moniker. He currently wrestles for the RAW brand of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
Before joining WWE, Levesque began his wrestling career with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1993, wrestling under the name Terra Ryzing. He changed his gimmick to Jean-Paul Lévesque, before joining World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) in 1995.
Since joining WWE, he has become an 11-time world champion: a six-time WWE Champion and a five-time World Heavyweight Champion. In addition, he won the 1997 King of the Ring, the 2002 Royal Rumble, and was the second Grand Slam Champion.
Levesque was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on July 27, 1969. Although tall and skinny for his age, he participated in both basketball and baseball. He was also a fan of professional wrestling. In his youth, his favorite wrestler was Ric Flair.
At the age of 14, he became aware of bodybuilding. After graduating high school in 1987, he entered several body building competitions. Levesque was crowned Teenage Mr. New Hampshire at the age of 19. During this time, he met Ted Arcidi and began to consider a career in professional wrestling.
In early 1994, he joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW), wrestling as a heel. In his first televised match, he defeated Brian Armstrong. He continued using the name Terra Ryzing until mid-1994, when he was renamed Jean-Paul Lévesque. This gimmick was in reference to his surname's French origins. He was asked to speak with a French accent, as he could not speak French. During this time he began using his finisher The Pedigree.
Lévesque had a brief storyline feud with Alex Wright that culminated at Starrcade. In early 1995, Lévesque briefly teamed with Lord Steven Regal, whose snobby British persona was a good match with Lévesque's similar persona. The team was short-lived, however, as Lévesque soon left for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), after WCW shot down Levesque's request to be pushed as a singles competitor.
Triple H received a shot at the WWF Championship on the January 25, 1999 edition of RAW in an "I Quit" match against The Rock, but was kayfabe forced to quit or see his aide Chyna chokeslammed by Kane. This began a new angle for Triple H, as Chyna attacked him after the match and joined the Corporation, betraying him.
A Triple Threat match against WWF Champion The Rock and Kurt Angle led to an angle between Angle and Triple H, which centered around Angle's infatuation with Stephanie. Triple H and Kurt Angle began fighting before the match started (and before The Rock made his entrance). Triple H dragged Angle to an announce table and set him up for The Pedigree, planning on performing the move through the table. In this instance, however, the table gave way just as Triple H was jumping up. This resulted in a genuine concussion for Angle, and Triple H and Rock had to improvise much of the match while Angle recovered.
Triple H returned to RAW on October 3, 2005 as part of WWE Homecoming to a tremendous ovation, even though at the time he took his absence, he was a heel. He teamed up with Ric Flair (who had turned face during Triple H's absence) against Chris Masters and Carlito. Triple H and Flair won, but Triple H then turned on Flair with his sledgehammer. Triple H then began a feud with Flair. They met in a Steel cage match at Taboo Tuesday for Flair's Intercontinental Championship, a match that Flair won. However, Triple H defeated Flair in a non-title Last Man Standing match at Survivor Series and ended their feud.
At Cyber Sunday 2006 during their feud with Edge and Randy Orton, the fans selected special guest referee Eric Bischoff, who allowed the illegal use of a weapon to give Rated-RKO the ill-gotten win. At Survivor Series 2006, DX got their revenge when their team defeated Edge and Randy Orton's team in an Elimination Match with a clean sweep. At New Year's Revolution 2007, DX and Rated-RKO fought to a no-contest after Triple H suffered a legitimate torn right quadriceps (similar to the one he suffered in 2001 but in the other leg) fifteen minutes into the match. A successful surgery was performed on January 9, 2007 by Dr. James Andrews.
His commercial appearances include ads in May 2006 for Miller Lite where he debates "Man Laws" with the likes of Burt Reynolds, Eddie Griffin and Jerome Bettis. That same month, he also appeared in a commercial for USA Network with Anthony Michael Hall, which cross-promoted RAW and Hall's show, The Dead Zone the main comedic factor being fellow wrestler John Cena leaving a sunburn enhanced handprint on Triple H's back. He has appeared in commercials for bodybuilding supplements such as Stacker 2's and YJ Stinger. Levesque also appeared in a Wendy's commercial holding up a Triple Classic Burger calling it the "Triple H Burger".
Levesque appeared in the movie Blade: Trinity, as a vampire enforcer named Jarko Grimwood. He is also starring in the upcoming WWE Film Journey of Death.
In a November 14, 2006 interview with rapper The Game, it was revealed that Levesque is involved in a lawsuit with him over the rights to the name, "The Game". |
