Triple H Biography
Triple H Triple H is triple trouble for anyone who dares to challenge him in the ring. Find out the story behind the
WWE's Heavyweight Champion.
The Beginnings of Triple H
The man who we now know as
Triple H was born as
Paul Levesque on July 27, 1969 in
Greenwich, Connecticut. During his teenage years, he started
body building with much older guys and began his dream of becoming a
professional wrestler in the late 1980s. Paul trained at
Killer Kowalski's wrestling school in
Reading, Massachusetts and entered the
Independent Wrestling Federation in 1992 using the name
Terra Ryzing. After winning the
IWF Title, Paul Levesque entered the world of the
WCW and changed his name once again.
From French Snob to Triple H
During his career in the
WCW, Paul Levesque changed his name to
Jean-Paul Levesque and adopted the character of a snobby French Canadian aristocrat. He wrestled under this name for one year before heading to the WWE and renaming himself,
Hunter Hearst Helmsley, or
Triple H.
Professional wrestling would never be the same. As a snobby, rich kid from Connecticut with an endless trail of girlfriends,
Triple H is now one of the most loved and hated characters in the
WWE.
Triple H Triumphs
Since entering the
WWE,
Hunter Hearst Helmsley has piledriven and body-slammed his way to the top of
the wrestling world. Triple H's legendary finishing move,
the Pedigree (a double-underhook piledriver) has made him a virtually unstoppable force in the ring. Triple H has won the
WWE World Heavyweight and
Intercontinental titles and teamed up with
Steve Austin to win the
World Tag Team title. Hunter Hearst Helmsley recently joined up with wrestling villains, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista to form an evil wrestling alliance known as
Evolution. His most recent wrestling triumph was a victory over
Goldberg in the Elimination Chamber at
Summer Slam which allowed him to keep his World Heavyweight belt. Along the road to wrestling supremacy,
Triple H has also dated several of his female wrestling counterparts including
Chyna and
Stephanie McMahon, to whom he was briefly married (that's the WWE story, anyway.)
