OTR-feb 20 1998 p1

[@itsX2024]

HHH from 98 still working the marks of today. Good shit.

[@jbelton1989]

Man I'm telling ya Hunter was an old elementary school child on this video

[@DamoneBros]

HHH was staying in his DX persona...even Doc was selling his neck injury

[@jbelton1989]

Yea classic kayfabe.lol

[@DamoneBros]

Jason Belton I kinda miss those days like ultimate warrior or Macho man on Arsenio Hall

[@DayLateGamerWill]

HHH was kayfabe-ing, and doing it well this interview

[@chingasofarkaso]

They're acting people. HHH, Chyna and Dok are all playing their characters in this interview.

[@PinkStarburst777]

I thought I was the only one lol

[@EAchank]

These were the early days of wwf interviews on OTR the wrestlers were not sure how to act back in the day

[@bradnimbus4836]

Hahaha, HHH having some fun!

[@7Roeth]

Interviewer is so smug, he takes everything so personal

[@mddsafc247]

hhh seriously playing on the heel at the start lol completely in character at the beginning

[@aceharris1463]

Marks all over this comment section.

[@MarkLyell]

Michael Hayes selling a neck injury, Triple H being an over the top heel. Just 15 short years ago kayfabe still ruled supreme.

[@bricitybrac]

I don't like watching wrestling. It's not exciting to me. But I am fascinated by the stories of wrestlers on the road. I love hearing what it's like to be going from city to city, the relationships that the wrestlers develop behind the scenes, and so on. Needless to say I live for shoot interviews =)

[@nintendodreamer1515]

I hate Triple H. Bret Hart passed the torch to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 12. Then Shawn faked a knee injury so he wouldn't have to lose to Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13. Bret Hart is a man's man.

[@DamoneBros]

Amen

[@ngawangr5324]

Nintendo Dreamer 1. What does that have to do with hhh? 2. Shawn never fought Bret hart at WM 13 it was at survivor series '97

[@ngawangr5324]

Nintendo Dreamer 1. What does that have to do with hhh? 2. Shawn never fought Bret hart at WM 13 it was at survivor series '97

[@JaskiratSGrewal]

True

[@kranix9166]

HHH’s analogy comparing Hogan and Bret to Bret and Michael’s is not even close....Difference between Bret having heat with Hogan for not wanting to put him over vs Bret’s heat between he and Shawn is that unlike Shawn saying to Bret, I’m not willing to put you over, Bret never said that to Hogan....and Bret had already verbally said to Micheal’s that he would put him over until Micheal’s said what he said....Hogan was just egotistical but that’s no surprise because Hogan hardly put anyone over....

[@belowpip420]

I see everyone ragging on Triple H, but people have to remember this was 1998, this is when guys were still trying to protect the business in a sense...so Hunter is just in character...lol you should watch the stone cold interview on off the record...he never gets outta character.

[@hushus3943]

HHH complaining about other guys for not putting someone else over...the irony.

[@bdr113080]

Settle down marks, he was in character. DX were the top heels in the company at the time. Hunter was right about what he said about Bret. Bret was so mad when Hogan wouldn't put over him over but then he didn't the same to HBK. I say this being a fan of DX and Bret but the truth is for all the shit people talk about the Kliq Bret only did 2 clean jobs in the WWE after he won his first WWE title in 92. Owen at WM 10 and HBK at WM 12. And the owen job wasn't that big of a deal to him because Bret still beat Yokozuna for the title in the main event at the end of the night.

[@daveynwa7376]

read your comment and then say who the mark is lol

[@bdr113080]

Dave.C All I said was the facts. That's being more of mark then these young fans that weren't old enough to watch 90's wrestling but they just have this opinion because it's the opinion you should have if your a wrestling fan??

[@screamrad218]

Your comment has the whole, “Hey everyone I’m a Triple H mark” vibe to it.

[@merkcityboy834]

When kayfabe was still alive.

[@wonder-games3579]

Bret Hart not doing many clean jobs between 1994-1997 is less indicative of him not wanting to, and more (in my opinion) indicating of the booking of faces back then, to not lose clean for the most part. Case and point, I'm pretty sure Undertaker rarely if ever lost clean during those same years, and I doubt Shawn Michaels did often following his face turn in 95.

[@BBJCARBONE]

This was done on my birthday in 1998 cool

[@domirules28]

canada is a great country and a great place to live and raise a family...

[@Dan-eq6po]

Sounds like that

[@dudderzz]

i know! its mental, he acts so professional in '05, funny to think by watchin this that he would become part of the corparate side of the wwe!

[@BlueDev89]

Thanks man. Do you have Vince McMahon on OTR a week after this?

[@magicbus333]

it was actually vinces idea

[@YellowBrickRoad-x1f]

Oh and Bret lost to Shawn at WM12 and Shawn didn't want to return the favor at the next WM.

[@asshowl]

love how shawn michaels actually did know...so why was he crying, hunter? lol.

[@Justinbacca]

"You got a bit of an attidude dont ya" Wow this interview got off to an awkward note right off the bat, lol

[@Bromleycafc]

Has anyone got the Bischoff interview from 97? Or Brett's from the same year?

[@shockwavecg]

His dad is French Canadian - I don't know what the rest of his mix is though.

[@jmi84]

But it's ok for his boyfriend Shawn to just hand over the belt when he was suppose to drop it to bret in wrestlemania 13? BS.

[@dslking]

Says HHH who never put any one over his whole career

[@ghostspectre1861]

He jobbed for Hogan when Hulk came back for another title run in 2002. That's doing a job, if I ever heard of one.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

GhostSpectre Triple H only puts main eventers over. He never put a young guy over unless u became a main eventer.

[@ghostspectre1861]

kenterminatedbygoogle Didn't he put Batista over?

[@dslking]

Only cuz it was his bud. He also let him win the rumble much to all the fans disapointment

[@kenterminateddq5311]

GhostSpectre Yeah but that's because Batista had to kiss up to him or they are best buddies.

[@KliqDon1983]

Ran into Kane the other night LOL 🤣

[@nonamebrand0]

@pgs916 You know that Triple H isnt "shooting" like the others, he's pretty much in "character" for most of this interview....

[@WeskerLogan]

HBK & HHH were like Malak & Revan

[@shockwavecg]

It's kinda neat to see Hunter in his childish character in the first bit, and then make a clear switch back to his normal self. It was a bad thing that they did to Bret, but I think Vince was in the right. Reading Bret's autobiography only hammered that fact in for me. It's called karma, Bret. And boy did it ever bite you in the butt. Though I do feel bad for him with the seizure. That was awful, and I'm glad he conquered it.

[@SuperTJK1992]

Triple H got the golden shovel out for Landsberg.

[@Currymastuh]

was triple h playing his character at the beginning of the video or was he being genuine

[@joshtracey2129]

The only thing HHH said that I agree is how it was wrong Bret wanted to win or DQ in MTL and drop the belt on Raw the next day and go to WCW. Can’t do that

[@Slacker4LiFe247]

anyone got the Eric Bischoff OTR from around this year I think 97 or 98?

[@OptimusWrex]

Dude you haven't seen anything yet. I have probably one of the most obscure WWE related broadcasts ever. All three of the above are on the Canadian Home Shopping Network and it is completely insane. It's an hour or so and will be like 10 parts but well worth it, I promise.

[@eriks8382]

well where is it?

[@domirules28]

i agree, not to mention hennig held the ic belt for the better part of a year...

[@nihar1990]

hey is there any chance u can upload otr triple h without chyna please

[@orelhai]

Bret only refused to lose to Shawn on that night. He didn't refuse to lose to him on any of his 30 remaining days after the Survivor Series. And there was no possibility of Bret showing up on Nitro with the belt. Bret still had 30 days remaining with the WWF in his contract. And besides anyone who knows Bret knows he would never do something like that. And anyone who knows the history between Shawn and Bret would understand completley why Bret refused to lose to Shawn at the Survivor Series.

[@newyorkhxc]

hhh is such a sissie, he ran out of the rome when bret hart went into the lockerroom after the montreal incident

[@aceharris1463]

HHH makes a great point. Bret bitches non-stop about Hogan at WM9, despite Hogan dragging Hart into McMahon’s office directly in tears because it was clear Vince was trying to poison the boys against him on the way out.

[@gridly10]

What are they in character? I'm saying this only 1 minute in.

[@Shrubbehfish]

@TheMegascarface2000 ....you do know this was in 1998, right?

[@southwardwill]

3 marks on this show. Actually doing this in character in 1998

[@orelhai]

it's not insulting. back in the days of kayfabe, people still knew wrestling isn't real, and that wrestlers play characters on TV. but kayfabe made it possible for people to doubt if something is fake or real, and made it possible for people to get into the illusion of reality that wrestling presented. After the exposure of the business wrestling can't be taken seriously anymore. I guess it was inevitable for wrestling to expose itself, but wrestling's best days are long gone.

[@jmi84]

And bret did pass that cruiser weight the torch back in wrestlemania 12.

[@marcosperez1329]

Cruiserweight?

[@AJ-lq1zq]

Hahaha Triple H was so cool. Now hes such a tight ass. Its hard to see the way hes changed.

[@dslking]

+Patrick Farrington No its called he grew up.

[@gmurphy2614]

Hunter Hearst Helmsley gimmick is better than triple h in my opinion

[@OaktownABQ]

Say something Joanie!!!

[@Wooderz245]

But that next night on RAW, Hart was no longer under contract to WWE.

[@SdMahasuver]

anyone have vince mcmahon on OTR?

[@CoffeeStain-Music]

Bah, I really miss when wrestlers would live the characters off the stage once in a while. This is probably around when that started to fizzle away.

[@geden1729]

Sooo is Triple H Vince Mchahon’s son, they sure look alike.

[@Reason_over_Dogma]

hhh is a terrible liar! he was mumbling lol

[@drunkensailor112]

triple h is so full of lying shit. bret hart did the job and passed the torch to michaels in wm12 in 1996 clean in the middle of the ring. when vince wanted shawn to drop the title at wm13 to bret hart michaels made up this bullshit injury so he wouldn't have to job to bret. that's why bret didn't want to job to michaels at survivor series 97. very understandable imo

[@tipicofutbal]

This Triple H and who he is right now is definitely two different person. This is someone who is still finding what he wants in life and of course, immature. The Head Of Creative Triple H is experienced and of course, mature and understood every aspect of the business.

[@PhillipP93]

Imagining current Triple H acting like this is hilarious.

[@alansanders9096]

Triple H saying that Bret had issue with Hogan over not dropping the belt yes. Hogan refused to drop the belt to Bret and pass the torch. That's not what happened between Bret and Shawn. Bret would have dropped the belt to Shawn if Shawn hadn't been an ahole. Bret a few weeks prior had told Shawn he would always be professional in the ring with him and put him over anytime. Shawn then told Bret thank you but I wouldn't wouldn't do the same. So Bret said screw Shawn I'm not dropping the belt until he shows me some respect. Triple H leaves that out. Not shame on Bret. Shame on Shawn and Triple H.

[@Messiah717]

The bottom line on the Bret Hart screwjob is that Vince had to protect the WWF. He couldn't allow Bishoff to appear on Nitro at 8PM the next night and claim that WCW had signed the current WWF Champion. If Vince allowed it Bishoff would've in all intent and purposes announced he just signed the WWF title.

[@ESETAndy]

You do realize that over half of the NHL roster is Canadian, right?

[@182robinson182ian]

bret and shawn forever

[@Patrickhollywood]

bret doesn't live in montreal where it happened he lives in calgary so that statement wouldn't b true

[@michaelbull4639]

6:16 hunter made a good point bret was being a baby cause of the hogan wrestlemania 9 thing what goes around comes around

[@devilsown18]

wats kayfabe??

[@miguela22]

wow ive never seen this one

[@Patrickhollywood]

so true

[@HimanshuDoi]

Obviously Triple H was playing his character even on the show. He was really tring to get the Canadian viewers to believe that he actually hated Canada and the Canadians.

[@vbplaya72007]

Bret didn't have to pass the torch to Shawn and besides when it came for Hogan to job for Bret it was way before he even left the WWF for WCW.

[@Jeff051176]

Haha Triple H is hilarious in this interview!

[@Steve-wh9ux]

Hockey eh

[@kinglanky93]

if your boss tells u to do something u do it. No matter how long you been working for him, he still is the boss. I don't blame vince for doing what he did. It's his company and thats what he wanted done. bret should have just done his job.

[@kcdesert05]

What is their problem? God Bless Canada!!!

[@pktheapprentice]

hhh made a good point about hogan not putting over hart and hart hating hogan for it but bret hart did the same thing to hbk

[@pentalway]

Uh, does anyone else think they're still in character?

[@qtpieayanna]

I can see triple h going in and out of character because he trying to defend Shawn and the company but since he has to try and stay in character he trying to be funny about it

[@88smjls]

Bret hates Triple H cause Shawn wasn’t sure if he should screw Bret and Triple H was like screw him you need to do it. Really the whole thing was ridiculous on both sides. Bret was delusional about being an icon like losing the belt would really affect how people saw him. When he had lost it before and it never mattered.

[@imilf2003]

Problem is Bret Hart thinks wrestling is real..

[@kranix9166]

As Steve Austin said in his pre speech inducting Bret into the Hall of game, Bret did think it was real which is why he was so good... Bret was willing to lose the belt clean to Michael’s which was something Bret said to him....it wasn’t until after Bret told Shawn that, that Shawn fired back, I just want you to know that I wouldn’t be willing to do the same to you AND THAT is why Bret then refused to put over Michael’s.....it comes down to doing the honors, which Bret already had done for Micheal’s at Mania 12....why would he (Bret) do it again for someone who had already “lost his smile” in order to get out of putting Bret over at Mania 13 and then on top of that verbally say I refuse to ever put you over.....in the end none of it really matters except the only real thing to happen in pro wrestling which was Bret knocking out Vince McMahon....yeah, Mcmahon went on to be extremely successful but Vince even knew that he had to face Bret after what happened.....

[@valeriekydd5498]

88smjls I don’t know why Bret does but it sounds like Triple H when I saw the last video I saw that when I saw that I saw triple H refuse to drink I didn’t know that he doesn’t drink

[@minstrel34]

@floeticdeath yup! and michaels admitted that vince told him and HHH together so he knew Shawn knew

[@c-red4637]

ah 90s hhh, the guy who thinks he's the Eddie Murphy of comedy. dude convinced himself that everything he says is a funny joke.

[@RedCancer]

lmao, anybody that has watched wrestling knows that HHH can't even carry Brett's jock strap.

[@TL2354]

Who’s Brett?

[@RedCancer]

I think Landsburg probably told HHH to be that way.

[@miroa12004]

Simple as that, Randy should've won this match at WM, Randy never beat HHH except at No Mercy 07 after HHH competed not in one, or two but three matches, Orton's first title reign came short thanks to HHH, I don't know much about HHH using backstage politics but from what I see, it is either that Vince doesn't want Orton to move to the higher level(which I doubt) or it is either HHH and Stephanie using their power to overrule Vince's decisions and putting Hunter over Randy all the time.

[@miroa12004]

Don't forget Hunter to Orton

[@drunkensailor112]

I completely agree with your last few lines. bret is a bittered man and takes himself way too seriously. but it doesn't change the fact that triple h was lying not to mention bret offered to give the physical title belt to mcmahon after survivor series so he wouldn't be able to show it in wcw even if he wanted to.

[@dx6789]

Bahahah. Golden heel HHH

[@hbkwifey1]

shawn was crying? wtf

[@esucil]

do you even know your wrestling? Hart didnt put micheals over???micheals greatest moment was winning his first championship title iron man match against HART.. micheals also had the gaul to tell the referee to tell bret to get the fk out of his ring after the match.. it was micheals who refused to return the favour when he lost his smile (cough and left),.when micheals kept avoiding putting bret hart over,bret basically said im not jobbing for someone who isnt willing to do the same for me

[@Yerizzo]

lol, freakn triple H. Pretty sure he knew what was gonna happen with Bret and Shawn, Shawn knew. And Shawn was probably crying because he knew what he had done and lied about not knowing.

[@MandibleJaws]

Man, Triple H has aged alot in the last 10 years.

[@eriks8382]

yeesh 14 years ago.

[@hitmanhart670]

LOLOLOL shawn michaels was really crying after it went down?

[@tinotse2007]

This the first i,m seeing & hearing things from Triple H & Michael PS Hayes. AKA. Doc Hendrix. About the Montreal Screwjob.

[@brookburrell554]

HHH IS a liar because on more then one occasion HBK ADMitted on &off WWE TV he knew Vince was gonna screw Bret in Canada A

[@Fatalflawtv]

yes but at that time vince told shawn and hhh to deny everything... later on after shawn got religious and stuff he told the truth.

[@donmak7552]

Heel H is the best lol

[@nickloks]

kayfabe would be in character, when someone breaks kayfabe means they break character!

[@OptimusWrex]

@pgs916 But we won it four years later in Salt lake city against USA and we won it in Vancouver 2010 against USA as well, we just didnt want to win it in Nagano Japan because we are all psychic here in Canada and wanted to beat you both in your country and ours. Its more meaningful winning it in North America, not Japan.

[@Meeksgoo]

HHH is a horrible liar here.

[@drunkensailor112]

but without the physical title around him it wouldn't matter. now he was screwed, he could be considered the real wwf champion when entering wcw. except wcw screwed that up totally.

[@devilsown18]

IS TRIPS DRUNK??LOL

[@playboi182]

People talk as if Bret was 100 percent right for what he did and Vince should of definitely let Bret do what he wanted because Bret is the boss Bret runs the wwe not Vince so we all should bow down to Bret let him do what he likes and if Vince wanted to do something else well thats just wrong because it isnt Vince's company its Brets . look Bret was a dick for thinking he was gonna do what he was gonna do he was leaving so he shouldnt have any say of what is going to happen he had that coming

[@MacPr0xnxx0]

so werid if you watch the OTR with HHh i think it was from 2004 he acts so different u can tottally tell he was acting the whole atitude era in this clip

[@goanyways]

lol, i'm from Canada, but hhh is a joker here, loser sign to canadians while on a canadian broadcast...he plays the degenrate role real well, too bad Orton had to punt him in the face HAHA

[@greatgazu]

well this was considered the "attitude era",so I guess he was just playing the role.

[@rmathew2]

@floeticdeath Oh yeah the part where he is asked about Shawn knowing the truth, he stutters right away
