Triple H:
Paul Michael Levesque was born July 27, 1969 better known by
the ring name in WWE Triple H (an abbreviation of his original name is Hunter
Hearst Helmsley. Triple is an American business executive and professional
wrestler. Levesque is the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and
Creative for WWE, as well as being the founder and senior producer of NXT and
the creator of the television series NXT.
Wrestling Career:
Levesque commenced his professional wrestling career in the
International Wrestling Federation (IWF) in 1992 under the ring name Terra
Ryzing. In 1994, he joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he was
soon repackaged as Jean-Paul Lévesque, a French-Canadian aristocrat. In 1995,
Levesque moved to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), where he
became Hunter Hearst Helmsley and later Triple H. In 1997, he co-founded the
influential D-Generation X stable, which became a major element of the WWF's
"Attitude Era".
After winning his first WWF Championship and beginning a
storyline marriage with Stephanie McMahon in 1999, Triple H became widely
regarded as the best wrestler in North America and a fixture of the company's
main event scene. Over the next two decades, Triple H won a total of 14 world
championships and led stables The McMahon-Helmsley Faction, Evolution and The
Authority. After legitimately marrying McMahon in 2003, he became a member of
the McMahon family, which maintains majority ownership of WWE. Since 2011,
Triple H has curtailed his in-ring appearances as he has taken on a greater
behind-the-scenes role within WWE.
Championship Matches in PPV’s:
In the course of his career, Levesque has held a total of 25
championships including nine reigns as WWF/WWE Champion and five as WWE's World
Heavyweight Champion. Triple H was also the winner of the 1997 King of the Ring
tournament and the 2002 and 2016 Royal Rumbles. He has headlined WrestleMania,
WWE's flagship pay-per-view, a record seven times, tied with Hulk Hogan.
Despite these accolades, Triple H was named by UGO editors in 2011 as the most
overrated wrestler of all time.
