Biography of Triple H

Known Wrestler. Currently performing in World Wrestling Entertainment on the "SmackDown" brand, where he is the WWE Champion for the seventh time. Throughout his career, Paul has been a 12-time world heavyweight champion: a 7-time WWE Champion and a 5-time World Heavyweight Champion. He has also been the second Grand Slam Champion, the seventh Triple Crown Champion, the winner of the 1997 King of the Ring tournament, and the winner of the 2002 Royal Rumble. Outside of wrestling, Paul has made multiple appearances in movies and television. He stars in the upcoming WWE Films' movie, Journey of Death, set to be released in 2009. Paul Levesque was born in Nashua, New Hampshire. In his youth, Paul was a wrestling fan, with his favorite wrestler being Ric Flair. At the age of 14, he became interested in bodybuilding and competed in several bodybuilding competitions after graduating from high school in 1987. At 19 years old, he was awarded the Teenage Mr. New Hampshire title. Around the same time, he met Ted Arcidi and began considering a career as a professional wrestler. In 1992, Levesque joined Killer Kowalski's school, recommended to him by Ted Arcidi. Levesque joined the Independent Wrestling Federation (IWF), which used students from Kowalski's school. There, Levesque became the IWF champion and began using the name Terra Ryzing. In early 1994, Levesque signed a one-year contract with the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) promotion. In his first televised match, he fought as a heel and defeated Brian Armstrong. He continued using the name Terra Ryzing until mid-1994 when he was renamed Jean-Paul Lévesque. This gimmick played on his French roots, and he was asked to speak with a French accent, despite not speaking French. It was during this time that he began using his signature move, The Pedigree. Levesque had a short feud with Alex Wright, which culminated in a match at Starrcade pay-per-view. Between late 1994 and early 1995, Levesque teamed up with Lord Steven Regal. Their team did not last long, and in early 1995, Levesque left WCW after his request to be promoted as a singles wrestler was denied. In 1995, Levesque joined the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment) and began using the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley. He continued to partially use his French gimmick from WCW, appearing in vignettes discussing etiquette rules. His debut took place on April 30, 1995, on an episode of WWF Wrestling Challenge. Despite being pushed heavily for several months, his career in WWF truly began in 1996, when he had a feud with Duke "The Dumpster" Droese, which ended in his first loss at the Royal Rumble 1996 pay-per-view. Leading up to the next pay-per-view, Levesque appeared on television with different women each time. Sable became his manager at WrestleMania XII, and after his loss to The Ultimate Warrior, he took out all his anger on Sable. The then-debuting Marc Mero came to Sable's aid, and a feud between Hunter and Marc ensued. On May 28, 1996, Triple H participated in a WWF Superstars show, where he wrestled against Marty Garner. During the match, Hunter attempted to execute his signature move, but Garner did not know what move Hunter was planning and ended up injuring his shoulder. Helmsley was also known as part of the "Clique", a group of individuals that also included Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman, who had influence over Vince McMahon and the WWF Creative Team. Triple H was in line to win the 1996 King of the Ring tournament but was punished after an incident at Madison Square Garden where members of the "Clique" broke character to say goodbye to departing wrestlers Nash and Hall. Despite the punishment, Triple H's career began to flourish again after the incident. He found a new manager in Mr. Perfect and was booked to win the Intercontinental Championship from Marc Mero. After Mr. Perfect left WWF, it was explained that after Triple H won the title, he turned his back on his manager. Triple H held the title for four months before losing it to The Rock (then known as Rocky Maivia). He briefly had Mr. Hughes as his storyline bodyguard. After losing the Intercontinental title, he had a brief feud with Goldust. The feud ended with Triple H defeating Goldust at WrestleMania 13. During their feud, Chyna debuted as Triple H's new bodyguard. Triple H's push resumed in 1997 when he won the King of the Ring tournament on June 8 by defeating Mankind in the finals. Later that year, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna, and Rick Rude formed the D-Generation X faction. The group became known for their "Suck It" catchphrase, which involved crossing their arms. During this time, Levesque fully transitioned into his Triple H character. After the feud between DX and The Hart Foundation ended and most of DX's members left for WCW, Triple H continued his feud with Owen Hart over the European Championship. Helmsley defeated Hart for the title at WrestleMania XIV. After Michaels was forced to temporarily retire due to a back injury he sustained at the Royal Rumble, Triple H became the leader of DX, claiming that Michaels had lost his edge and was no longer worthy of leading the group. He introduced X-Pac to the audience as Michaels' replacement and also added Billy Gunn and Jesse James to the group. Around this time, Triple H began feuding with the leader of The Nation of Domination and then-heel, The Rock. The feud led to a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. Triple H did not hold the title for long as he was stripped of it due to a leg injury. At the same time, The Rock won the WWF Championship and the feud between Triple H and The Rock continued as The Corporation, led by Vince McMahon and with The Rock as their top star, battled against DX. Triple H had a chance to win the top gold on January 25, 1999, in a "I Quit" match against The Rock. However, the match ended with Triple H having to choose between quitting or watching Kane chokeslam Chyna. Shortly after, Chyna turned on Triple H and joined The Corporation. At WrestleMania XV, Triple H defeated Kane with the help of Chyna, who returned to DX. In the same night, Triple H betrayed X-Pac by helping Shane McMahon defeat him and retain the European Championship, officially joining The Corporation. Turning heel, Levesque changed his hairstyle and stopped appearing as a member of DX. He had multiple attempts to win the top title but was unsuccessful. Triple H aligned with Mankind against then-champion Stone Cold Steve Austin in a Triple Threat match refereed by Jesse Ventura. Mankind won the title in that match, but on the next episode of RAW, Triple H defeated him for the WWF Championship. Triple H lost the title to Vince McMahon on September 16 on SmackDown and regained it in a Six-Pack Challenge match at Unforgiven pay-per-view. Triple H defeated Austin at No Mercy but lost the title to The Big Show at Survivor Series. With the arrival of 1999, Triple H reassessed his position in WWE. He desired the WWE Championship but at the time, Steve Austin was the company's top favorite, and Triple H knew that fans would not appreciate him challenging for their favorite's title. On January 25, 1999, Triple H had the opportunity to compete for the WWE Championship against The Rock at Royal Rumble in a match where the loser would be fired.
