Jim Cornette on Triple H's Interview About His Health 

My dad died of a sudden heart attack from the same type of blockage some years back. Not the biggest fan of HHH, but am glad the guy's going to be around for his wife and kids.

I always saw HHH as the guy someone had to beat to get to the top, he was the final test for a wrestler so definitely one of the best

My dad had this kind of a heart attack and somehow it bypassed itself just like HHH. The cardiologist showed him the picture and told him to pin it to the refrigerator and then buy a lottery ticket. But a nod to HHH. The real deal and provided many good times for the fans for many years.

His return in 2002 was something special. I remember the vignettes they played in the weeks leading up to his return. His heel run from August 1999-May 2001 is something that can’t be matched. I loved his rivalry with Foley and Austin. The three stages of hell match was excellent story telling. His reign of terror was horrible, BUT he made Big Gold matter. He helped make Batista with that whole story.

Very underrated are his mic skills. His promos don't pump you up like Austin's or Rock's but they never sound forced and he always sounds confident.

I've always thought he appealed to Stephanie in part because he wasn't a fuck up. That being said, HHH was already a household name to any wrestling fan even in the late 90s. He's definitely had a hell of a career.

The two HHH matches I remember most are Cactus Jack at RR2000 and Austin at NWO2001. Those and others like the Rock ladder match will always be something to remember, along with the Motorhead themes being "HIS" thing.

I will always love hhh for being enemy #1 to the wrestling observer reader marks

"I'm not a doctor, I'm just a small town bird lawyer" Love ya Jim

This man went from a British aristocrat to the cerebral assassin to the king of kings .what a legend

When he came back from his first quad injury. He got one of the loudest pops ever .

Jesus Christ Brian, should he have sat down with Walter fucking Cronkite for you to be happy?! He literally had a heart problem & now has a pacemaker, let’s put him under some stress with an interview that makes Brian Last happy.

Triple H was the foil to everyone's favorite wrestler. Put respect on his name.

HHH will always be a beast. People's favorite thing to talk about was when he finished that tag team match with a torn quad which don't get me wrong s really impressive but him finishing the elimination chamber match with a crushed throat is next level tough S.O.B shit.

It's not as deep as Brian tried to make it, Stephen A. Smith is a huge name, of course WWE would want someone with his fame interviewing Triple H.

I usually agree. But HHH was a top guy a lot earlier than Bryan is saying. He was a top guy/household name by early 2000’s I would say.

I call bullshit on Brian. I was a big fan of HHH early on as a kid and I'm an average schlub so there has to be a lot of other average schlub kids who felt like I did. Everyone seems to forget the response he recieved from the crowd when he came back after his quad tear. One of the loudest pops I've ever heard.

Stephen A. Smith is the smartest guy in the room...until someone else shows up. You don't believe me, just ask him.

The rotating rivalries between HHH, Austin and The Rock and his programme with Mick Foley was incredible. One of the best era's in history. I'm sad we won't see him in the ring again knowing its his last hoorah but even more glad he is getting through it and will hopefully be around for a long time to come. His final match being at Wrestlemania vs Batista was a fitting end.

I lost my dad from a heart attack, his widowmaker was also almost completely. I convinced to go to a doctor cuz he looked gray - his appt was on Monday, he died Friday. I lost my dad at 24, I wouldn't wish that on anyone and HHH has three kids.

1999-2000 Triple H was in the "best in the world" conversation just as Bryan or Roman or Brock are in right now (although that was helped along by most of his competitors getting hurt or aging out across the world). I still hold that version of HHH as the one people should remember, McMcahon-Helmsley era HHH absolutely was that guy on the level of Rock, Austin, Vince etc as someone who held his own in the main cast. In middle school everyone I knew was all about HHH and said he was the best wrestler, it was all about him or Kane. If you were a detention regular, HHH was your icon: he hooked up with the "principal's" daughter and crotch-chopped and caused mayhem everywhere he went.

wassup with brian going full on wwe hater mode like really dude is a clown 🤡🤡

No disrespect to Foley but more people know Triple H than Foley. It’s revisionist by Last to act like H wasn’t on that level when the crowd reaction and main events put him there. He was the top guy from like 02-05

For like 15 years he was the top guy or maybe second behind John Cena, at least according to the crowd reaction he always had since his return in 2002

I had a similar problem when I was 18. Had a "fast track" develop from a bad valve. The heart will find a way to pump until well it stops

My favorite version of Triple H was the 2000/2001 version when he was the ultimate heel to stone cold and the Rock, great matches and rivalries

I still say the loudest pop I ever heard was when Triple H returned from the quad injury on RAW in 2002, that crowd really blew the roof off the place.

“I’m not a goddamn fireman!” Is pretty damn classic!

First off, it was reall serious, the man has a defib in his chest, dang, that means his heart could stop at any minute, he REALLY REALLY almost died and it was off just what he was doing, not that BS these dirt sheets were saying and making fun of it. ALSO It had nothing to do with softball questions, Brian Last just hates everything and thinks he will put someone in WWE in a corner and be a tough guy, lame ass.

I feel for him. I had 15 to 20 percent functioning of my heart 90 percent blocked in front wall of my heart. 80 percent in my sidewall of my heart. I had 3 stents put in my heart and then put a difiburator put in me. Just like Triple H. I hope he gets better. I had mine go off 3 times in a hour. The shocks go off at 181 heart rate. It hurts like hell feels like you got kicked by a horse.

Jim is one of the kings of the Slick Jab. "Scott Hall's knowledge of the wrestling business. And Nash's knowledge of politics." Cleverly places a compliment of Hall right before a clear shot at Nash😂. Corny's a true magician.

No matter what these guys say, if you were a fan of the top heel growing up, those 20 min segments of HHH starting off raw, were great. There wasn't anyone else outside of the good guys , who could work the crowd from the mic. It's weird that alot of people don't give him the credit he is due.

I hope he gets a Raw segment like the one he gave to Flair after he retired. He deserves his flowers before he fades away

He was brilliant in 2000. His match with CJ at the 2000 Rumble was a classic.

To me the thing that separates HHH from others was his drive. He was never satisfied with being satisfied. He always wanted more and would put in the work and effort to improve at whatever he was doing. People can make remarks about him being married into the family, but no one gets that far with their career "just because"

I'm just glad he's still here with us. great wrestler with the single best theme song ever

I’m not sure how you think HHH isn’t the level of Mick Foley??? But ok

“He sure showed Shawn how to get out of doing a job” 😂 all love to Trips

Triple H is one of the most driven and dedicated wrestlers. Insane amount of professionalism and tremendous work ethic, major props to him.

Triple H is one of the greatest heels of all time and Brian's attitude toward him just proves it to me. Triple H and Edge were the only guys during it all to make me scream at my tv

Triple H Is Truly Legendary Man,Thank You To Him!!🔥🐐🐐❤️🙏🙏

Triple H is one of the best. He was a good babyface but was an incredible heel. I remember hating him so much 😂 Its a shame he won’t be able to have a proper retirement match. But the good thing is that he’s still here with us. He wasn’t appreciated until he was gone from the business.

"Shaking like a dog, shitting peach seeds" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This man is a national treasures 😎

I have now zero respect for Last. I pray for his children, sincerely

The beauty that he did with NXT will be missed forever….I don’t care what the fuck y’all say about him. NXT was awesome with him in it ❤️

Last can be the shit sometimes Jesus Christ

Brian Last Stfu HHH was THE heel of 1999-06 tf u talking about he was so heel he turned vince face at one point. He was literally the game he was top guy and when austin went down the numbers went up with his feud with the rock they averaged more viewers in 2000 with HHH as champion and their feud was on SNL when the rock hosted in 2000, and he got the loudest pop ive ever heard HHH is the greatest heel of his era period.

I’m 28 and really stopped watching around 2007 but for me trips was THE heel. You loved to boo him. He had legit animosity with the crowd it felt like. Idk. I’ve always been a huge fan and I hope for the best concerning the game.

Stress will kill you! Imagine working for Vince that close while running one of the WWEs brands, then having it taken away from you, and on top of that having him as a father in law! I just hope he slows down and takes care of himself and his family and tells Vince to F Off!

The real sad thing is that marks will think, it's because Vince took away NXT, no it wasn't if you listen to the story, HHH was having health issues before the NXT rebranding and couldn't do the daily duties, it was steadily declining. That's when Shawn took over, they weren't sure if he would be back.

My absolute favorite thing, the thing I look forward to,is Jim going absolutely off doing a promo for a sponsor and Brian having to play straight guy and drag it all back in. It is so cool and old school and fun and I love that bit more than I have words for.

It wasn't a softball. Hhh was asked if he could handle the challenge of creating another Hogan and Rock. The interview had many different elements to it. It was complimentary (as it should've been when you look at HHH's legacy and current situation), but it was also infomative. It was well done.

A defibrillator - when it detects your heart in a "abnormal rhythm" will shock it with a specified voltage to "get the heart back into the correct rhythm".

Please don't let Triple H become Triple Bypass

The helix sleep promo had me nearly spit out my coffee. Hilarious. Well done Corny!

Anytime you hear that guitar riff intro from Motorhead you're guaranteed a pop.

Jim is not making sense. All those wrestlers were baby faces, HHH is known as a heel. Of course he worked with who drew the money. All of them, it was him

we just lost Scott Hall, let's not lose Trips now too. Just stay safe and enjoy your life.

Never saw Foley as a true main event guy. Same as Kane. Triple H was by far more of a marquee name

I always saw HHH on the level as Rock and Austin he was the guy they feuded with

Never been the biggest HHH fan, but I think people forget sometimes how popular he got in 2001 especially after the retiring Foley, stuff like the love triangle with Steph and Angle, and his high quality title runs in 2000. I remember hearing reports of the whole arena booing when he didn’t come back from his quad tear at Vengeance 2001, for instance. He might not have been Rock or Austin, but he got close.

He will always be the king of kings best of luck in the future

Last acting like this interview should've been brought up at a Congressional hearing.

I don't understand BL's disrespect towards Triple H in the first few mins?

Brian got something against HHH idk what it's though

You dont have to like him , but dont forget he’s a human with family. So glad he’s okay and will always be one of the top heels during the attitude/ruthless aggression era

I'll never forget the pop when HHH came back from surgery

The way y’all keep squeezing Foley in there with Austin Rock or takers triple H was closer to them then any version of mick foley. Let’s be honest

Dr. Brisn Sutterer on YT went through the medical points that HHH revealed. My mom has been a nurse for over 50 years. Mom backed up Dr. Sutterer's point that HHH is lucky to be alive, period. Ex NHL goalie Henrik Lunqvuist had a heart condition that was managed for years. I would have to find citations, but it got to the point where surgery was needed. Henrik is 40 years old and in elite shape. Heart surgery took about a year for recovery. But Lundqvist had to retire. HHH had open heart surgery! It will take him a year or more to recover. But HHH is in good shape for his age. He should be able to live a normal quality of life. Hopefully, HHH sees his daughters grow up and life a long life. That is all that matters.

That was quick...I only just saw the actual vids and health takes on it. Jim working harder than ever.

So it took near death for ppl to finally appreciate this GOAT....

Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐

Love him or hate him the dude literally was on track to take over the largest company in wrestling thats ever existed. He did exactly whats been reported that he said he was going to do.

HHH was “THE” heel that meant you were at the TOP when you beat him. He was the final boss. Lol

Before CM Punk's return this year in my opinion the best return ovation ever was when Triple H came back at MSG from a torn quad. The fans went crazy and Triple H looked so fucking badass. Like, never had someone looked more like a badass professional wrestler than Triple H did in that moment.

Dx and the crotch chops were common place in my primary school aged up to 11 in the UK, even those who didn’t watch knew him and Michael’s from being on the cover of the console games which everyone always played, the crotch chops were fully a thing in the uk amongst my age group (I’m 22 now)

I believe what HHH had is a pacemaker/defibrillator. I know several people with these devices. So it both has the functionality of a pacemaker & when needed a defibrillator to pretty much keep him alive. My dad had one after a quadruple bypass. His defibrillator went off while on a ladder once, dam near killed him! Lol

Cornette - “Triple H was always the guy who worked with the guy who drew the money” Well, the guy who drew the money needed someone in the ring who was good enough to draw the money. Imagine Stone Cold drawing money against Hurricane. Or Imagine The Rock against Scotty 2 Hotty when the Undertaker came back as the American Bad Ass. Triple H is the second best heel of all time after Ric Flair and there is no argument there.

Jim it's been a awhile since I've watched one of your vids..super happy for you getting to over 200 thousand subs!!!

Heart Has Handicap Seriously, nothing but the best to Paul and his family. ❤️

I was always a fan of Triple H with the notable exception of when he went on his reign of terror on Raw and was the only singles champion on there (when the Katie Vick thing happened). But when he stepped back a bit I was a fan again.

He was one of the best, and also I'm guessing we know who the showcase mode will be about next year in 2k

Agh man that helix mattress ad by Corny had me dying 😂

The advertisement always makes me and friends go to what you advertise. Lol it’s just brilliant and hilarious!! Helix mattress just got the greatest ad ever!!!

Top 15 in ring. Top 4 for absolute true success

HHH was 10x bigger than Foley

I am now sold on Helix mattresses. Thank you, Jim!

I always got excited when I heard his music. His PPV matches were the best in the early 00's.

take care Paul I remember the good times that's all that matters.

for me it was the HHH "reign of terror" and the v2 rocket they shoved up cenas ass to push him over the moon that caused me to lose interest in wrestling. glad he's well and able to raise his kids.

Why isn’t anyone acknowledging all his years of clear steroid abuse? We all know this is why he’s having these issues.

I had that heart attack and I can tell you that the heart does find new paths if it can before the other symptoms kill you first.

"So I got this vaccine and started having crazy cardiac problems. Weird, huh?"

I would pay money to have Corney go up to Triple H and tell him "Paul, I used to think you were a dumb shit, but so many other dumbshits have come by that you moved up the ladder without doing anything." Really feels like Jim has not just lightened up about Triple H but is now giving him some big credits for what he's done in and for the wrestling business and is now genuinely sympathetic to the guy. I personally eagerly await for Triple H's new business venture, The Paul Levesque Experience with your host Triple H and co-host the 123 Kid, Sean Waltman

I was sad to hear that Triple H announced retirement from in-ring competition with WWE. I figured he could probably go another 5-10 more years, but, we all know how well that prediction lasted...

He said I will not go away with a lost 😆

Whether you love him or hate him, he was a massive part of the attitude era, he became the man you had to beat to be THE top guy.....and he started to develop a brand in NXT that was at one time one of the best things out there that you could watch.....even if you think others made him look better than he was, find a wrestler he didn't have an amazing match with....The Rock, Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Batista, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Owen Hart, Mick Foley, John Cena, Randy Orton.....he had a classic at one time or another with every single one of them.....I know many people think of Ric Flair when they see that big Gold belt.....but I still see Triple H every time I see it......

HHH - the top/best heel in wrestling, when wrestling was at its best

Triple H will go down as one of the best heels in the business. In and out of the ring.

I still will remember the pop when he came back off injury with the leather jacket and new song
