WWE: Triple H is retired from in-ring competition

[GKJ]

Triple H revealed in an interview that will air in-full tonight with Stephen A. Smith that he is retired and is living with a heart defibrillator. He had pneumonia and started coughing up blood and discovered his half of his heart stopped pumping enough blood.

Yup, he can't do anything stress related anymore.

 

[Sheppy]

Not surprised by this at all.

That said, absolute legend. Loved basically all of his work minus the year of terror.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

He's just afraid to face Cody Rhodes!

He's always been the most underappreciated guy in wrestling. Time has only proven him right about guys like RVD and Jeff Hardy and 99% of the other guys he "buried" (minus Booker T, who was buried because he was made in WCW, not because he was black).

Aside from Booker T I don't think any of the guys he buried should have been World Champ. Orton clearly wasn't ready in 04 and he put Batista over huge who did the best house show numbers for them for years.

Giving multiple PPV main events to Nash, Steiner and Goldberg was not the wise move. Obviously Vince wanted to bury WCW. At the very least Nash wasn't even re-established in any angles or given mic time before facing Triple H for 3 months and then leaving the WWE.

Then obviously Triple H's work with NXT proved he's a genius booker.

Only knock against him is his involvement in the screwjob and then lying to Bret afterwards. Obviously there were legal repercussions to worry about for him so I don't even think it's a huge deal. Bret obviously hates him and talks shit about him weekly.

It sucks that they dismantled NXT while he was out recovering. AEW really aren't using the NXT guys as well as people expected them to(minus Cole).

He's just afraid to face Cody Rhodes!

Oh my God please let this all be a huge work

 

[These Are The Days]

He'll do like 5 more comeback matches that are all 90 seconds or less. This company can't let go of the stars of 25 years ago

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Yup, he can't do anything stress related anymore.

Going to make any family gathering difficult.

All the best to him. Hell of a run. Great mind for the business, and despite being overused at his peak, probably took more shit than he deserved. From the curtain call on.

 

[Brodeur]

Not sure why I still associate Trips with this energy drink......but good for a laugh.

He can't do anything it the ring due to that heart defibrillator.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Jim Brunzell came out and stated HHH needs a heart transplant.

Steroids and HGH are bad news. Triple H’s morphing into three layers back on the evolutionary scale when he was on top wasnt the best thing he could have done for himself and his run on top is what started the E’s downward spiral.

Good worker, but not a guy you should have wanted as the main guy.

 

[These Are The Days]

He can't do anything it the ring due to that heart defibrillator.

If anyone's gonna find a way around that it's Vince. Edge and Daniel Byran both should've never wrestled again and what do you know? They're back

You don't find a way around that. I have enough relatives with similar tech in their bodies. You can't stress yourself at all. This isn't something to joke about.

You have to forgive my pessimistic attitude because the hardest days I ever had was when I learned the horrifying truth about Benoit, the day Eddie was suddenly taken from us and Edge's retirement. I wasn't overly attached to Daniel Byran but I felt it nevertheless. And it's almost like it did not matter because they came back anyway.

I want this to be taken seriously. I just don't know if it will because of what I've seen before

 

[JackSlater]

Safe to say that Tri will be back to his gimmick thieving ways when he puts Edge's shock return to shame in ten years.

 

[SUX2BU]

I thought HHH and Seth Rollins would hook up at Wrestlemania

Oh well, enjoy retirement HHH ……

63 year old Triple H returning in the Rumble to toss out 54 year old Brock Lesnar.

 

[JackSlater]

63 year old Triple H returning in the Rumble to toss out 54 year old Brock Lesnar.

That is likely, but he will also steal Michaels' return gimmick by doing that at the UNIVERSE'S GREAT ROYAL RUMBLE in Saudi Arabia. If only he could shock and disgust everyone by returning with a shaved head ala Michaels, but he blew that "spot" already.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

All the best to him

 

[Kaner9]

All the best in his future endeavors.

Steroid abuse leads to heart problems? Color me shocked

It was described as genetic, meaning he had it since birth.
