Mini bio

  • Paul "Triple H" Levesque is WWE's Executive Vice President, President of Talent, Global Talent Strategy & Development. In this role, he oversees the Company's Talent Development department, serves as a senior advisor to the CEO for talent strategy and is the Executive Producer of NXT, WWE's third global touring brand, which airs live every Wednesday night on USA Network and NXT UK, a weekly one-hour series airing Wednesdays on BT Sport in the UK and Ireland.

    Levesque is revolutionizing the business with his global recruiting strategy and developmental training processes. In order to create a platform for future success, he established the Company's state-of-the-art training facility, the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and last year opened the UK Performance Center, the first world-class WWE training facility outside of the United States. In addition to strength, conditioning, in-ring training and character development, recruits participate in development programs focusing on life skills, continuing education, health and wellness and career planning. Building off this success, Levesque remains focused on the development and implementation of WWE's Performance Center/Global Localization strategy.

    Prior to his current role, Levesque oversaw WWE's Talent Relations and Live Events departments. He also played an integral part in the Company's creative process, helping to shape the creative direction and storylines of WWE's programming.

    Levesque debuted as a WWE Superstar, "Triple H," in 1995 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. He has held the WWE Heavyweight Championship title 14 times, captured every major championship, headlined thousands of WWE events and entertained millions around the world. Levesque is married to Stephanie McMahon and together in 2014 they established Connor's Cure, a fund dedicated to furthering pediatric cancer research. He was inducted into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame in 2017 and is a board member for the Concussion Legacy Foundation. He has served on both WWE's Executive Committee and Board of Directors since 2015.

    He is a father of three daughters ages 14, 12 and 10.
    - IMDb mini biography by: WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Official Website
  • Paul Levesque (known as Triple H) is an American business executive, professional wrestler, and actor. He has been the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative for WWE since 2013, as well as being the founder and senior producer of NXT.

    Levesque was born and raised in Nashua, New Hampshire, and began his professional wrestling career in 1992 with the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) under the ring name Terra Ryzing. In 1994, he joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he was soon repackaged as a French-Canadian aristocrat named Jean-Paul Lévesque, and was later repackaged in 1995 when he signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), where he became Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and later, Triple H.

    In WWF, Triple H gained industry fame after co-founding the influential D-Generation X stable, which became a major element of the "Attitude Era" in the 1990s. After winning his first WWF Championship in 1999, he became a fixture of the company's main event scene, and was widely regarded as the best wrestler in North America by the turn of the millennium.

    He won a number of championships in his career, being a five-time Intercontinental Champion, a three-time world tag team champion (two World Tag Team Championship reigns, and one Unified WWE Tag Team Championship reign), a two-time European Champion, and a fourteen-time world champion, making him the company's seventh Triple Crown Champion and second Grand Slam Champion. He is also a two-time Royal Rumble match winner, and a King of the Ring tournament winner. In 2019, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the D-Generation X stable.

  • Trademark move: Indian Deathlock

Trivia

  • Along with his Father-in-law, Vince McMahon, paid for fellow wrestler, Sean Waltman (X-Pac) to go through drug rehab
  • His hidden talent is drawing and he has designed many of his logos and official t-shirts.
  • Had tension with Bill Goldberg before they even wrestled for the same company. When Goldberg was asked if he could fight any wrestler in a real street fight, he said either Triple H or Scott Hall, both of whom are close friends.
  • Won the first WWF special of "The Weakest Link" in 2001
  • WWE had Jack Nicholson booked to induct Ric Flair into the WWE Hall of Fame, who actually contacted them about inducting Flair, but Levesque pulled hard for himself to induct Flair for two reasons. 1) He wanted to induct him and 2) he was afraid that everyone in the audience would attend the ceremony to see Nicholson, not the legends being honored that night.

Quotes

  • I am that damn good!
  • I am the Game!
  • (Making an apperance on The Rock's night of hosting SNL): "Well, what if he messes up one of his lines? He makes the WWF look bad. Can I run on stage and hit him for that?"
  • Hardcore wrestling like CZW is just nonsense. There's no story there. You've got guys jumping off of houses onto barb wired tables and that's it. They don't know how to work. CZW is trash.
  • Hollywood's great, but wrestling is my first love.
