    Ran into him one day in a store in Boston around 2003-2004. I turned down an aisle and almost bumped into giant HHH. I was like "oh hey man! I'm a big fan". Dude was WICKED NICE and totally down to Earth. He was already a legend by that time, and just was a super nice, regular acting guy

    My husband had Triple Bypass last year. Great thing with wrestling, a lot of these guys are like us. A lot of family groups within the wrestling world. Had friends that worked in hotels near the arenas where these guys would come to wrestle, and they would talk about how huge these guys were and how they interacted with their fans. Seems like the nicest people play the best villains, and for some reason I actually always liked Triple H. He was always so entertaining, going up against and taunting the Rock and Stone Cold, etc.

    This brought me to tears I have so much respect for Triple H as a human and a wrestler I'm really sad that we won't see him wrestle again I completely understand why he medically can't. I'm still going to miss his it. I'm very thankful that he is alive he has brought NXT into the next generation he is a vital part of WWE.

The guy is pretty clued up when it comes to the world of MMA but he's equally as clued up with wrestling jargon and nuances. His interviews it's basically a real interview. Hearing last year about trips heart issues was a major shock and humbled me as I have always seen trips as the indestructible guy built like a Brickhouse that rarely loses.

If it wasn’t for his Apple Watch going off multiple times that day, he probably would not be here anymore.

      Well he did use a ton of Growth hormone, test, Dianabol... Etc.. I don't think he will live a long time. I hope he has 10 years left. After Scott Hall had the defibrillator out in he made it another 8-9

    The Game is such a great man and it’s inspiring to see how grateful he is and how amazing his outlook on life is!

    So glad he's still around, not even just for wrestling, but just for his family. On the other hand, it's great that he caught it when he did, he's a massive part of modern wrestling, and it would have been a massive shame for him to leave us. Best wishes Hunter

      Shudder to think what a real athlete would go through . This guy danced around with doink the clown 50 times a year, sounds like he's talking about something deep 😂

    Very inspiring not many people going through something as serious as this gets back on there feet and inspires to discuss this with the world. My hats off to this guy I’m not a big wrestle fan but I respect this man keep up the great work and take care of yourself.

    Thinking about the idea of hearing that HHH has passed, breaks my heart! Thanks for sharing & prayers!

    Fair play HHH an honest account of what he went through and how it impacted his and Stephanie's life
