This has to be the best WWE interview Ariel has ever done, nothing held back and no questions left unanswered, what a treat.
Indeed, well said.
Why isn't there Not even a single mention of Shane McMahon the real king of WWE after Vince !!! Why is every one silent about that.
He's the Heir to WWE right?!?
Future storyline in the works ik
But what abt it in real life.
Not even a mention of Shane O'Mac
@@omeraamirshahjee Heir? It's a business not a royal family.
And triple H is a professional while being a really cool guy to talk to all at the same time.
I think Shane would be booking himself to be the champion where triple H wouldn’t do that.
He played the GAME. He won the GAME. HE IS THE GAME.
*What does this even mean? He certainly was/is a politician.*
@@MattSingh1 Yep.
No he's the GAME AHHHH!
And he’s THAT DAMN GOOD!
@@GzUp187 Oh it's true....it's DAMN true!
Not just a great wrestling interview, what a tremendous interview in general. The way Ariel just flows between questions, picks up on nonverbal and verbal cues, no awkwardness at all. What a pro.
This is the first interview that I've seen of this Ariel guy. Astonishing delivery, rhythm, manner and a wonderful ability to allow space for his guest. Incredible interviewer.
Sulu said it, and the keyword definitely is "manner". Ariel doesn't just ask questions in a respectful way, but also lets his guests talk, he doesn't interrupt or anything. Imagine if Conan had been in that interviewer seat (not that I hate Conan, and I do understand that they are two different sides of the same coin, but just imagine).
Man, I love Triple H interviews. He's so well spoken and has DECADES of knowledge that he brings to the show everytime
It's crazy to think how close we were to losing Triple H. Bless him for pulling through.
Us
Why what happened
@@WTFNoobProductions He had a heart failure and almost died (he was coughing blood). Probably all the steroids during his younger life didn't help. Because of that he had to retire for competition forever.
@@miguelfg93 That's not what I heard, at all. All I remember reading last year was that he simply needed a heart surgery to repair something around that area which forced him to retire.
@@yvesheinrich5013 Just watch the interview, he explains everything.
HHH in the year 2000 was an absolute badass. Street fights, HIAC matches, Iron Man match, dude was a tough SOB in his prime. Also his MY TIME theme was awesome.
Could argue he was the best in the business at the time. Work rate was insane!
Please book bruan and Charlotte differently she be a Babyface don't do the fomerlaic stuff give her freedom with promos more believable not like a robot
Agreed. He’s my favorite heel. I think he always got underrated for not being as big as stone cold or rock.
I was always a HHH fan whilst all my friends liked the Rock and Austin
"My Time" was such an awesome theme song.
Literally laughed out loud " they beat our developmental?...good for them " 😂😂😂
Bit of hypocrisy there though. There's video of him congratulating the NXT roster NOT just being developmental anymore but WWE's Third brand. So which is it Trips?
Petty
@@davidgraham8299 the point remains its still the bottom of their brand
@@jacquesdemolay4516
Sure, no argument, they've got a long way to go. But doesn't change the fact that of Trips hypocrisy and arrogance.
This really was a must see interview. I could listen to Triple H talk about life for hours. I stopped everything else I was doing when he spoke about his health issues last year and how everything unfolded. This was absolutely incredible.
I've relisten to this interview 3 times already, and doing it again. It's just such a fantastic interview and so smooth. So much insight and not a single dull moment to be had.
Same it was like a movie playing in my head like I didn't notice anything else around me but my screen during that part of the interview
Man the emotions I got at 50:00 man. Watched this dude my whole life, I only know wrestling with Triple H. I’m glad he made it.
Really great conversation, Ariel!
agreed!
Where's yours?
@@retched Damien Sandow wasnt available.
You'd kill it too
@@romanhoover5907 🤣🤣🤣
HHH seems like such a down to earth dude. Much respect for what he's accomplished both in and out of the ring!
I'm a physician and I am truly impressed with Paul's explanation of his health situation. For a non-medical person, he has a very good understanding of his medical process with everything. Very impressive, sir. And hearing him speak candidly about life, amazing interview.
He’s always been huge into learning about himself. Since he was a bodybuilder in his teens. He even found Joe DeFranco to be his personal trainer years ago from doing deep dives into CZcams for months and liking how intricate Joe spoke about certain injuries and rehab protocols. Definitely cares to know about his body.
Do u think this could have been a vaccine side effect?
@@moeoh4287 He himself have said that it's a generic heart issue. His father and grandfather also had the same heart problem so it's not the side effect of vaccine.
Everyone becomes a specialist in the field of biology that is keeping them from living.
Or they die from it.
@@moeoh4287 it because of steroids not covid jabs 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
this man is my childhood, the big gold heavyweight belt needs to come back
For starters, get rid of those freakin horrible 'W' belts. Never should have been a thing. Period. It tarnished the look of championship belts are supposed to be.
Winged Eagle needs to come back
This guy repects the history of the business...im sure its on the cards...I wonder if that's why the belts are unified right now so they can make the WWE title the ultimate prize again...
Why do y’all want those belts so damn bad? It’s a new era of WWE wrestling, make new designs.
@@HabsMike25 Now, Mike, if they do that, don't embarrass it by tossing it around like a hot potato. That title is prestigious and indeed my most favorite wrestling belt ever. I own the replica in baby blue. The one the late Ultimate Warrior wore during his title run.
Ariel is just a brilliant interviewer.
He asks his guests everything his viewers would want him to and does it all with the greatest respect while still speaking to them as a true fan of the product.
Everyone he speaks to seems to understand this and because of that - they always give him their very best interviews.
Triple H has really added brand new fresh creative energy to WWE and it really does feel different than it has in years.
It is going to be great seeing him bring his own brand new vision over the next several years.
Excellent interview - one of Ariel’s very best!
Dana White and MMA fighters in general beg to differ.
@@23bitchris60 wrong… Ariel has 10-12 MMA fighters on his show WEEKLY… he is well respected by the best
@@josephpichardo4139 Is that why Dana banned him from the UFC?
He's a fan first. That's why.
@@23bitchris60 Dana banned him for leaking the Brock Lesner stuff
He managed to give us a solid interview packed full of details, without holding anything back or ignoring the elephant in the room. While also managing to stay 100% respectful, professional, and loyal to the man that groomed him to be there.
100% agree and he was honest about his answers that’s what I always enjoy about trips.
Just watched this after the Tony Khan interview - wow what a difference; HHH is a true legend and this truly is one of the greatest interviews I watched
Like night and day
Love how he broke down the difference between being a "pro wrestler" and a WWE Superstar.
And he is on the money with it.
Yea but why “superstar”? Should be Wwe Wrestler. Nobody is a superstar these days maby just lesnar and reigns.
@@KingGamer321 it is marketing
@@KingGamer321 only Lesnar. Reigns ain't no superstar.
@@stonecoldsaidso8813 Reigns is objectively a superstar. The guy has legions of fans in India alone, let alone worldwide.
@@stonecoldsaidso8813 Reigns generates reaction; boos or cheers, his merchandise sells successfully, he mostly delivers long matches since 2020. He's a superstar by definition. Rollins, Orton, Riddle, Owens, The Usos, Lynch, Belair, need I say more? Superstars.
Just finished watching. I'm so glad he is 100% healthy and he has done an amazing job. Great interview. It was awesome.
True what is best for business💯💯🔥🔥⛽️⛽️💨💨
Trips a goat, gotta respect it
Couldn’t agree more, this interview was awesome and it didn’t even feel like an hour and 13 minutes
"Oh, they beat our developmental? Good for them." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Trips is a savage for that
Can’t believe this man is actually making me like wwe again. He’s been nothing but perfect since he’s been in office and seems like he really cares and listens to what the fans wanted for so long.
Does getting the job of Vince also makes your vocal cords to sound like him? Very interesting. This is one of the best interviews I've ever listened to.
Right?! Its almost creepy how similar he sounds to him now.
Honestly it may just be the strain on his vocal chords seeing as how now he's the man everyone wants to talk to
He's always sounded like that
It's his "kayfabe" voice; the voice of the Triple H character. There are clips here and there of him speaking out of character but they're always like behind the scenes backstage at Wrestlemania type clips, and never when he's mic'd up. A lot of wrestlers of that generation add bass and gravel to their voices when in character. Undertaker did it for 30 years, for example.
no, HHH really sounds like that and Vince got his voice from yelling at wrestlers and commentators
This shows why Ariel is at the top of the business in any form of media. Amazing interview
Cause the majority of the UFC casuals are still fans of the WWE
@@stonecold316339 that doesn’t make any sense in relation to his comment. This is bt sport a uk outlet
Best interviewer today
Stop the bs
@@stonecold316339 no need to spend your whole life on hating WWE and loving UFC! Literally nobody cares, your past comments are nothing but filled with hate for WWE!
No interview has ever engaged me as much as this one. I was glued to my screen. I'm not even a wee fan anymore and haven't been since the attitude era expired but I've always had a huge respect for HHH. That respect has just reached new limits. Credit to Arial for asking excellent questions and the sincerity of HHH is just inspiring. He deserves all his success and more.
A wee fan
@@Eloh_Dragons Arial "The Font" Helwani
I love how Ariel doesn’t hold back at all, because he asked some pretty brave questions and I love that triple h answered them all and had a reason for everything
Incredible interview, what he's been through is insane. Nothing but happiness and success.
I grew up watching Triple H, this man is a legend.
The fact he's alive, he's a legend.
So are Sting, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Steamboat, The Rock and the likes of Cena even not legends?
@grammar hammer thats not how legend status works at all. Thats why the phrase "Living Legend" is a thing among others, but also just "Legend" works too. Triple H is in fact a legend. As is Austin, Rock, and many others who are not deceased.
@grammar hammer ok he's a living legend then.
@grammar hammer he is a living legend have some respect
Never in my life did I think I’d watch a WWE interview for over an hour, but at no point could I turn this off. Such a good conversation and interesting insight. Ariel does it like no one else. Gold standard of interviewers.
Man, Triple H is amazing. The man was at the one yard line and I'm so grateful he's still here. We're getting the best WWE product we've had in almost 20 years!
He's one of the toughest guys ever. Tore his pec, quads, and finished the matches without complaint
Why isn't there Not even a single mention of Shane McMahon the real king of WWE after Vince !!! Why is every one silent about that.
He's the Heir to WWE right?!?
Future storyline in the works ik
But what abt it in real life.
Not even a mention of Shane O'Mac
@@omeraamirshahjee Shane was never ever in the plans to be heir. Thats why Shane went and did his own thing and own business ventures for 15 years. It was always Stephanie and HHH.
Shane was just fired a few months ago for doing an abysmal booking job with the Royal Rumble.
Such a brilliant interview. Loved every second of it. Super happy to see Hunter is completely healthy now and he has made a drastic improvement to the product. Can't wait for Clash at the Castle. The show is going to be an all timer.
His NXT show is going to be great as well. Ricochet vs Carmelo Hayes is a match of the year candidate
@@seifuddinassabur6934 Shawn Michaels is booking nxt on his own now apparently
@@UFCWWE69 I wonder does he get input from HHH
The fact that him, stone cold and the rock peaked at the same time was a blessing for the sport. The aura and the charisma of these 3 guys carried the attitude era. Every single one of them would make an extraordinary era but all three of them combined at the same time is like having Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis peaking at the same time.
Stone Cold, Rock and Mankind. Triple H was fine as a supporting act for them.
@@radicalstanza3614 Supporting act? Not by 2000. Once Mankind put him over after No Way Out, he was the top heel.
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
*DONG*
Don’t forget about Undertaker.
What an amazing interview. Im still trying to overcome the thought of one of my absolute favorite pro wrestlers will never wrestle again. I will miss those intense matches, interviews, and entrances. What a legend. How spoiled i was having Austin, Rock, and HHH in one era. Its like having 3 Michael Jordans in one era.
I can understand why talent is so excited for HHH to be in this role: he genuinely puts thought into what he’s responsible for, and he genuinely cares about it. While he’s open to input from talent; even if he said “no” to my idea I’d at least feel he listened and had a rational decision process for it. The product is in great hands.
Well said, i appreciate what this guy has done for the business, as i was a fan of what he could do in the squared ring when i was still young.
Exactly I couldn’t imagine what it was like for someone like rusev in 2015 coming in as a undefeated monster and by the end of the year he was a joke because of a out of touch 70 year old man
@@thegreatestking2817 it’s funny because Rusev Day was one of the hottest things at the time and really showed the range he had as a performer. Vince really dropped the ball big time on that.
Yep and Clash at the Castle showed that, awesome show other than the ending
I think it helps that he was a talent. Most of his life was being one and so in that sense he can relate to them and talk to them in a way that makes sense and puts them at ease. I think with Vince he just looked at them as talent but doesn’t have that connection. Even if Vince did wrestle on occasion, he didn’t have that connection.
I'm super glad that HHH is healthy and running creative without strings. His 00-01 heel run was amazing.
02 was his peak, his run coming back from the quad injury he was on fire and he was JACKED
@@daggy6683 he came back way too muscular/heavy and his matches suffered as a result. He also had to adjust to wrestling as a face instead of a heel.
Loved him as a heel
Hands down, one of, if not, the best interview I have ever watched. Not just pro wrestling, but any genre. Simply outstanding!!!!
I literally could have watched/listened for 8-10 more hours. Fantastic!!!!
Relax bit of an exaggeration
@@AA-kc3nf to be fair interviewing truly is an art and some people are rlly terrible at getting others comfy and talking while also hitting hard questions an maintaining respect at the same time
One of the best interviews I've witnessed. Absolutely fascinating and a huge respect for the ways the questions were both asked and answered 👏🏻
Agree 100%. Phenomenal interview.
His rivalries with The Rock, Stone Cold and Mick Foley are legendary
Don't forget HBK. And Batista.
undertaker & John cena
Randy Orton
cant forget flair and booker t
The HHH Cactus Jack no holds bar match at the royal rumble was incredible
This guy becoming Head of Creative is one of the best things to occur and July 25 , 2022 is a day to forever etch into professional wrestling history and remember for that. The game has changed, it's time to play the game and we're all lucky to be here to play it together.
Why isn't there Not even a single mention of Shane McMahon the real king of WWE after Vince !!! Why is every one silent about that.
He's the Heir to WWE right?!?
Future storyline in the works ik
But what abt it in real life.
Not even a mention of Shane O'Mac
Thats a very cringe inducing comment.
This has to be one of the best interviews ever done. Also refreshing seeing open and honest responses
This is legitimately one of the best interviews with any WWE personnel I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.
Excellent 💯👍🏽
1:00:30 - Sasha Bank
1:01:50 - Braun Strowman
1:03:00 - Bray Wyatt (!!!!)
1:06:00 - The Rock
We already know Sasha Banks, Braun Stroman are coming back, that’s already been confirmed. The Rock will face Roman, unless scheduling conflicts happen, We have known that for months as well. Of course the one he’s not going to admit to is the one most people want to know the answer to, I love how he didn’t say yes or no and he said neither lol great interview though
@@Troy2Slick I'm sure a lot of people will comeback now because it's a change that everyone is excited about
about izzy in wwe?
@@rockstar24688 as in Israel Adesanya?
@@rockstar24688 she's young and seems to be getting groomed for AEW
Props to Ariel for asking everything so friendly and politely and getting the answers.
From King of Kings to Kingmaker. People will be writing books about this man's story, career, and legacy. And he's not even done yet.
Straight Respect For HHH. He's So Legendary.
Incredible sit-down. Never felt out of synch listening. The Game, in every sense imaginable.
"They beat our developmental center. Good for them" - Triple H
😆
Timestamp !! 😃
It’s true tho
@@brian7443 when he was in the thick of it he considered NXT a third brand and tried so hard to beat AEW. He is changing his words around now that he lost.
@@JoshyManTheGreat around minutes 30-33
But nxt switched to Wednesday’s didn’t they? And he’s said numerous times that it was their third brand
Love him or hate him, HHH is an all time great in pro-wrestling. Feuded with the biggest stars, main events. Whether people deny it or not, he put over over several big name stars.
It’s time to play the game!!! Still gives me chills . Legend! 🙏🙏
This dude IS my childhood!! I probably had about 70 HHH action figures.
This man is singlehandedly changing WWE for the better. Every since he took over, I've enjoyed every show. It's very action based now, we get semi ppv quality matches every week. And the promos sound more natural, just everything seems more natural. And its only gotten better with time. I haven't liked WWE this much since 05. Love Vince, but this was the best thing that could've happened for WWE
Haven’t watched in a while but this has piqued my interest.
I like that there is a lot of wrestling but I don’t want there to be too much
Clash at the castle was also awesome.
I’m only 10 minutes in and it’s already a landmark interview…one thing i will say is NXT was Triple H’ proving ground,he made that brand “the” must watch WWE programming and it definitely paved his way to the head of creative control..long may the king of kings reign!
Truly one of the best interviews I've ever seen/heard.
Haven't Been This Pumped Since I Last watched The MJf Interview
Now more than EVER!, he IS “THE GAME”
Now that he’s the boss, he really is the “king of kings” in the wrestling world
One of the Greatest interviews ever. Triple H is such a legend. His vision for the business is amazing
I used to Hate HHH as a heel back in the early 2000s. But as I get older and realise that time goes faster, I have nothing but respect for him and hate to see him get old.
I've always loved triple H....he is the G...also cool that they are in my City...London 🇬🇧
Probably the best interview I've ever seen. Ariel loves the business, and clearly there's respect by Paul too
👌👏
What an incredible interview. Ariel asked all sorts of questions ranging from Vince's departure, HHH's health to Sasha returning and Scott Hall (RIP).
And HHH never really avoided or shut down any questions, both played their roles to perfection
That was such a great interview, here’s to the Triple H Era
I love the way how this interview went. Raw, unfiltered and no stones were left unturned. This is what WWE suppose to be heading towards to in terms of their talent pool, storylines etc. Bringing back those talents that were released increased their roster pool between Raw and SD was a superb move by HHH. It’s now really a fresh breathe of air here with HHH in charge as compared to Vince and that HHH is receptive to ideas from talents and giving what fans want and have been yearning for so long. Ariel don’t get much credit for doing such interviews but this is one if not his best interview with HHH.
Why is Roman still champion after 2 years? 😐 It's like watching the same episode of a show 100 times in a row.
What an interview. Triple H is simply “That damn good”.
HHH is one of the best things to happen to WWE ever from his beginning days as the "blue blood" wrestler till now. All the best to him, his family and his health. Bless him
Also before the wwe with his French aristocrat and the terror rising days in WCW
@@andrewstaples7544 I remember Terra Ryzing
I always knew there would have to be a time for Vince to step down and I knew that Triple H would be first in line. Happened faster then I thought, and I’m incredibly excited to see the inevitable greatness to come out of Triple H’s creative mind
Really good interview, felt more like a conversation - excellent style!
Ariel's one to one with wrestlers are just elite. It helps that Triple H has a movie worthy life / career already and Ariel just balances difficult questions with a friendly aura perfectly.
If this was Tony Khan that was being interviewed, Tony would’ve said “i dont want to talk about that.” 😂
H is a legend
That's basically what happened
@@SamsarasArt
He literally answered everything. From questions about Brock Lesnar leaving Smackdown, to Sasha Banks and Wyatt, and his heart problems.
Ariel is a great interviewer. He really doesn't hold back. Gets right down to the issue. Asks the important questions. Pushes back when necessary. I enjoyed this.
Could listen to this man talk all day. His honesty and openess is amazing and so welcoming. So glad he is back on top of the wrestling world after his health problems. He deserves it all the good fortune in the world. Great job Ariel
This was absolutely phenomenal, one of the best interviews I've ever watched. Incredible insight from Triple H and Ariel asked all the right questions. I love how much of an open book Triple H was here also, I have nothing but respect for The King of Kings and it's such a blessing that he got through his health problems and is now thriving as the head of creative. Such an exciting time in WWE right now!
Triple H is an absolute legend. Protect this man at all costs!
Protect our legends
Respect to HHH for going into that level of detail. Fantastic interview!
One of the best interviews of all time, didn’t want it to end
Fantastic interview!!! Been a fan of The Game since he first appeared in WWE (WWF)… great to see how far he’s come… it looks like it’s only the beginning.
An absolute treat of an interview. Excellent questions Ariel, and really great to see Triple H be so forthcoming with the answers. Top stuff 👍
I truly love and appreciate the way Ariel interviews.he just makes interviews that normally I wouldn’t watch seem like the best conversation or interviews I’ve seen..big fan of triple h
Love to see Ariel Helwani's growth as a reporter
Finally got around to watching/listening to the whole thing. What a treat! That dude is an absolute treasure. Sure his run of being the golden boy and going over a bunch of people he maybe shouldn't have yada yada yada might've soured some nuggets' view of the guy, but he's a goddamn good dude, one of the best talkers of our time, one of the best minds in the history of the business... Could listen to him talk about stuff forever, overjoyed that he recovered and would love to meet the guy one day.
TripleH Is awesome. Just went thru a lot of the heart failure stuff he did, so I knew what he was talking about. 🙂
What an unbelievable interview! Ariel did a fantastic job as an interviewer and Triple H was a great interviewee.This interview kept me on the edge of my seat and glued to my smartphone the entire time!
Love wrestling interviews man so interesting
Never seen this interviewer before.. he represented wrestling fans (old and new) extremely well. Great interview!
This feels so damn good with Triple H ever done an interview..so calm, and satisfying..what the man said is totally 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏻
Very captivating interview, another level to the game! Helwani finally knocks one out of the park....
One of the greatest interviews in the history of UFC and WWE. The best MMA journalist alongside one of the greatest wrestlers ever!
One of the best interviews I’ve watched in years. Quite inspirational to listen to.
Imagine having 3 long heart surgeries in the span of just a few days... he went through a lot. That sounds life changing, even ignoring the effect of a defibrilator.
Incredible interview Ariel, HHH is the man! So happy to see him running WWE, the product has gotten so much better, great to see HHH healthy and in good spirits 👏👏👏❤️
true legend, love how he’s shouting out all the young talent as well love u Game 🐐
He’s the hero that we didn’t know we want initially, but we very much needed now.
That was a phenomenal interview I really appreciated the candor - from AEW to the details of his surgery. I haven't always been the biggest Triple H (the wrestler) fan, but I definitely am rooting for Triple H (the exec). Great job Ariel!
The Game. Such an inspiring man, he'll go down as the very best of the best. ❤️
I haven’t yet finished watching this interview, but I wanted to write just how much I appreciate how realistically Triple talks about his peers to Ariel. The question about Brock storming off when he heard Vince was gone and how Triple H answered it candidly. He cut away the sensationalism and emphasized the relatability of the situation. I know he wasn’t intending to, but it was a great example of how over-hyped a rumor can get, when at the end of the day it’s just a person who, like nearly any of us, would react to the news of a change in our lives.
Awesome interview, loved it! Definitely got goosebumps too when HHH was promo’ing a possible Rock return at WM
Got to admit, this is one of the greatest interviews I've ever seen.
Incredible conversation, wishing Hunter the best with the baton. He’s off to an incredible start!
Such an amazing interview. HHH was terrific, but Ariel is one of the best sports journalists out there and that made it so much better. HHH is the sort of guy who could do TED talks, masterclasses and motivational speaking if he wanted to. He's so busy though and it seems like the WWE will stay his main focus.
This was such a gentle and calm interview but at the same time Turned every stone and didn’t hold back. Nice work Ariel!
great insightful conversation, I am excited to see what Triple H does with WWE
