"I Was Afraid Of Dying" Visibly Emotional Triple H Reflects On Health Scare & In-Ring Retirement

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

Wow. Thanks for talking about this. As a recent recipient of a pacemaker at 44 years old it’s really heartening to hear another ‘young’, fit and healthy guy talk about your experience.

[@oklywright8886]

Wow. This interviewer, Ariel, is top tier. No interrupting, he let H speak & gave him moments of silence to allow him to fully finish his thoughts. Wish more people were like him.

[@J3TF1RE]

It’s hard not to love this guy. He seems to be a good man. He’s reigniting my love of wrestling in big way with how he’s running things so far.

[@elmase2163]

Same I started watching summerslam after vinces “retirement” after a few year break from wwe and I am falling in love again

[@briancontreras9317]

Ruined too many wrestlers' careers behind the scenes. Very sad.

[@fantasmaparanormal1996]

Always respected the heck out of HHH! Serious respect for that man. He is right, after the health scare with his heart he had nothing else to accomplish in the ring, he had a 1 of a kind wrestling career and a 1 of a kind life and he has nothing to complain about. He has for sure 100% earned his rest from the ring. Much love to one of my hero’s! 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@phlhoran12396]

Amen to that. 🙏

[@garymoisan5899]

True Hall of Fame talent. The WWE made the absolute right choice putting him in charge. Good luck, and Godspeed to him, Stephanie, and his family.

[@shaundasheepmurphy1589]

What a guy, total respect for him and glad he is ok, what a legend!

Can we just commend his Dr for actually doing his job and caring enough to find the actual problem rather than just give meds

Another benefit of being a celebrity

[@PWizz91]

He’ll be paid really well I’m guessing

[@AyyFuji]

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

[@seltonk5136]

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 😂

[@SaiyanScholar]

Triple H is my role model. I love this guy so much and how down to earth he is.

[@Nemesis04208]

I have heart problems and I really sympathise with him because it is truly terrifying to know that your heart can just stop beating at any time. I’m glad to see he’s doing okay really it’s good to see.

[@billkeaveney1526]

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

[@jen-a-purr]

Nobody even knew he was struggling. It was shocking to me. He did the right thing. His time is over. He did us a great service. He was a hell of a performer. Still is. One of the best in the business. Jerry Lawler & him have so much in common it’s scary. We all remember what happened.

[@randyharmon717]

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.

[@electrifyinphoenix9009]

Bless him.... I too have congestive heart failure and its the worst feeling to hear "your heart is functioning at 20%" i drove myself to the hospital, I'll NEVER forget it. My heart is at 40-45%

[@amartyaroy3754]

Triple H gave us some incredible moments in the last 25 years and it was more than enough. Now he is shaping younger talents with his experience and still contributing immensely to the business.

[@jamirimaj6880]

This aged SO well. The Rock/Roman/Bloodline vs Cody/Seth/Basically Avengers cinema wouldn't happen if not for him.

[@geneanthony3421]

I’m sure the fact he was already wrestling part time and had so much success with the new stars made it so much easier on him when it was done. Very few wrestlers get that.

[@warrenleadbeater7656]

I got my defib at 32 HHH the first 10 yrs are hard with all the shocks the first 1 lasted 9yrs they said it would last 10 to 15yrs on my 2nd now with no shocks in 3 yrs its Hard to deal with but were still here mate GOODLUCK on the future Bigman

As someone who has had triple bypass surgery from a heart attack and blockage, I can completely relate to everything Triple H said about being scared. Terror like no other is how I described it.

[@alanleblanc1763]

[@stevewagstaff7250]

As someone who had his first ICD (defibrillator) implanted in my chest at 19 years old, and now being 42 and hearing Triple H talk about finding peace and how he feels makes me think of the early days of me having mine. He's putting into words, things that I felt at the time, and have done over the intervening years. It's amazing to hear him talk like this and I'd love to meet him and tell him how hearing this has hit me and how I see some of what I went through is there in the way he talks about it.

[@rlfs2853]

19!? Genetic issue?

[@cra0422]

I'm glad that he's not upset about not being able to compete anymore. He's accomplished so much both in the ring and behind the scenes, and he sounds like a proud father talking about the current roster since so many of them he got them started.

[@jrburke3067]

He was always my favorite and still is. I watch wwe again just knowing what he has done and will continue to do.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Ariel Helwani is the best interviewer. He actually lets people talk and tell their story unlike a lot of people who are constantly like "mmm, mmm, yeah, right, uh huh, yeah"

[@Z-Romello]

Thank God he retired from wrestling and having him around still. Like I said before about Roman's Lukemia announcement...God, protect this man

[@antoniotiberi1569]

I appreciate HHH candor and sincerity. Here’s hoping to many more years of good health.

[@mattp.272]

This is what I love about pro-wrestling. Behind all the gimmicks, characters, smoke and mirrors, these guys are just doing what they love while they look out for the other guys they’re performing with. He literally put his life on the line for the business just like he said he would, and to think he wanted one of his final matches to be one which helped launched a new wrestler into his career.

[@youronlybabygirl25]

I had a heart attack last year.i also had a 99% blockage and a blood clot . I have a stent in my heart Only God kept me alive

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

I hope the hell he’s delegating some of his new found responsibility. Being the booker, head of creative, etc, has to be a tremendous amount of stress, no matter what precautions he takes. I gotta think the years of juice he did played at least some role in the length of those surgeries, if not other things. But props to him for coming out the other side of it all and being so open when talking about everything.

[@colskinner5856]

One of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Changed everything when he became Triple H “The Game” Massive part of my childhood.

[@dc7468]

He gave his life to his craft. Not a lot of people can really say that. Bravo

[@SuperCookieman13]

With Triple H talking about this, I think about my father. My father had a heart attack a few years ago and it really was a scary situation. God is good and I'm so glad he made through it. I'm also glad Triple H had a doctor that caught the problem before it got worse. It's a miracle that both my father and HHH are still here.

[@rlv2780]

First time he's literally talking about this in details. Big thing he has money, and good doctors. I grew up watching him and i am glad his been ok since then.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

He shared some of this on Steven A Smith.

[@dionroberts2802]

10 years since I watched WWE HHH is going to do big things can’t wait, all the best

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Yea I hated HHH in 2000. He was a villain. And a dastardly one at that. But man I respect the hell out of him. He’s been clean as far as alcohol and drugs. He’s kept a level head and has had a great career and has been very successful. I can’t judge him on the whole Chyna/Stephanie thing. I’ve made a lot of bad decisions myself involving women and have hurt more than I care to admit.

[@Lethalwick5673]

choosing Stephanie over Chyna was the right choice Stephanie is a keeper and a wife material.

I grew up in the attitude era ... Watching these guys literally put their body on the line for our entertainment is literally commendable . Listening to HHH .. we can't even imagine what these guys go through ... they are away from their families day in and day out for the fans .. Respect to all the superstars ..

This is pretty surreal and so touching. Glad he is doing well and wish him and his family good health

This was an unbelievable conversation and I've now set aside the full interview to dive into soon as a result. Paul truly is a Main-Event level human being to endure that and come out of it with the mentality he has. Incredible.

[@Wombats-1]

Nearly every wrestler I’ve ever seen interviewed ALWAYS spoke top 3 things was how much they sacrifice for their craft. It breaks my heart what they put their bodies through for our entertainment. All of my heroes growing up in wrestling are such phenomenal people. These people are machines, absolutely incredible to hear their stories. Modern day medicine is truly extraordinary. How they’ve perfected things like he talks about how they can measure things so precisely is just amazing. It’s also sad for all the people who’ve sacrificed their bodies for us to have the information we have.

[@darrenwayne8263]

Heartwarming words from Triple H. Had a great sports entertainment in ring career. Glad his heart is good now and health is well. God bless.

[@prettyreaperinc.7539]

Triple H is amazing. People can say whatever they want abot him, but he is just awesome. I hope everything will be fine with him, and he will live long veeery long life. I had a lot of coolest childhood memories, watching him at the ring, and now we see that under his control WWE became much better. Clash at the Castle prove it 100%. Walter vs Sheamus one of the best WWE matches.

Which test did they use to detect it?

[@abigailsmith4168]

Ive never admitted this before. I've thought i was gonna die before, its a weird feeling. Ive suffered with seizures my entire life, at one point they were getting really bad. So one morning, i thanked God for letting me wake up the days i woke up, 🙏🏼, i hugged my parents, spent time with my family that week, because at any point i could've gone into a seizure in my sleep. I spent whatever time i could with my family, because i wanted them to know i loved them. Someone in my family thought i was suicidal, i told them i wasnt, i had been fighting with this family member previously over something and i wanted them to know regardless what we were fighting about i loved them. Gave them all a big scare but i explained i just wanted them to know i was tired of the fighting and they needed to know i loved them. It took a long time for my seizures to get back in control, i was strangely calm throughout this time of my life. The only thought i could think of was, that my family needed to know they are loved.

[@Aidan-dm2qr]

One of my all time favourites and hearing this for the first time was so heartbreaking and im so thankful that he got the help straight away ❤
