Grilling JR

Hunter Hearst Helmsley has finally been given the chance to run with the ball. It begins early on in 1997 as he feuds with Rocky Maivia and Goldust, the debut of Chyna, winning the King of the Ring over Mankind, SummerSlam's cage match, the switch from the Blue Blood, forming DX, and much more as HHH rises in the WWF ranks 25 years ago!

You can tell JR doesnt like being relegated to doing shows with Paul while other ppl get Conrad more often lol. I’ve been waiting on this topic but it would’ve been best with Conrad or Conrad and Bruce.

[@scottyballgame985]

Nobody likes Paul. But Conrad doesnt host any of his podcasts anymore it seems

[@jasonwalters4119]

Start time 25:07

[@fhqwgads5000]

Awesome Podcasts Done Quick

[@freeman4real]

OH MAN around 1:01:00 where JR says it isnt our place to say ANYTHING about who someone falls in love with.. And to just dislike someone over that is GARBAGE, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH GOOD OL' JR ON THAT!!!

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

That 20min open was 10x better than the whole current WWE roster

[@Rschr101]

Pretty much haha. WWE has become an acrobat show for kids.

Have to say great job to all involved in Flairs last match

[@NZ_Man]

WOW! Bret Hart always said he had amazing conditioning.

[@IanVersusDaddybones]

Really a 23 minute ad on this Ric Flair show before the actual show that I want to watch starts. Like make this separate or something like it's a countdown to double or nothing video.

[@VicRector]

Only took 35 minutes to get to the actual show

[@keni95851]

and its bromwell to boot. nice guy, clearly trying his best but its a miss for me

[@birdmandrugstories]

Awww poor guy 😂

[@blueblur2273]

@@keni95851 I listened to Paul with Eric Bischoff and he was a lot better, seemed to be more laid back and less "nice guy." I don't know if the chemistry is just not there with him and JR

[@curtisjoseph]

The 30 minute intro is absurd

[@Rschr101]

It was aight. More entertaining than Vince's kiddie show that's for sure.

[@taewhitney9160]

😂 YO, ABSURD.

[@Pogotono]

Easily the wrestling event of the decade, insane how much better they are at promoting an event compared to any WWE or AEW stuff. Modern wrestling is cool with all the neat flips and tricks, but this stuff feels like it matters. Simply amazing. But yeah, I don't know if it should be the first 25 minutes of a HHH episode

[@delbertprince5302]

I love Shawn Michaels. He was a great wrestler…..

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

Never cared for Shawn lol what a cry baby

[@Rschr101]

They havent done anything in 20 years worth paying for.

[@keni95851]

the shit I just took beats anything WWEs done lately, its not a high bar to clear lol

[@richardhoffman527]

Totally agree

[@zitofan4life]

Ric flair needs to just stop. He should have had his last match like 25 years ago

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

To be honest with you I like Paul he's reliable and he doesn't answer the same questions like Conrad

[@rw8185]

Agreed. The rest of the IWC are too busy re-staging their high school locker-room days in the comment section as soon as they see Paul.

[@jiggyjaguar]

Paul bout well is my new fav name

[@caseymcgee6226]

All that just to get to Paul Bromwell...

No offensive to paul but idk y conrad couldve done 1 show

How Jay Lethal isn't Being utilized in Aew is a shame. And now this is how wrestling should be done. I hope HHH realizes that working with other promotions is the way nowadays. I think he will get it and do WWE justice with him head of creative. Well I hope anyways

[@billepperson2662]

They aallmmoosstt had me, til Jay started with the worked kicks... So close! Still, compelling though!

Triple h in 2000 would be much more interesting

[@blueblur2273]

Yep especially because HHH 97 is pretty forgetable and didn't really start getting good until he started the Dx gimmick late in the year. 98 99 or 00 would have easily been better than 97

[@Rschr101]

Sure, 2000 would be interesting. As long as they stick to wrestling and stay away from him beating and cheating on Chyna.

[@mikeyoutubeaccount7120]

Did Triple H really beat Chyna like a rented(government)mule? I call bullshit on it personally ,I'm not his biggest fan far from it but he really doesn't seem the type...I dont think he'd have the grapefruits lol

[@mikeyoutubeaccount7120]

Paul Levesque a hanger on-er/an arse kisser/licker his whole career. I'm paraphrasing here what he said when he met Shawn hall,Nash and x pac something to the effect of - I hear you are the guys to know if you dont mind I'd like to hang out and travel with you, says it all really.

Yep.. thats a message to the Sasha Banks of the world. "He didnt take the ball go home.//. He came out stronger on the other side for it.//. A class-act.//. An example for the generation today." Guess Sasha Banks missed this lesson in wrestling-school.
