Triple H has come a long way throughout the course of his career. He worked his way up from the bottom of the card to become a 14 time WWE Champion, and he also ended up marrying Vince McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie.
But there was once a time when he was just trying to get his foot in the door in WWE, and he was recently a guest on Loudwire’s Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction where he explained that Vince McMahon didn’t show much interest in him during their first meeting.
“I came up and met with Vince, first meeting with him I don’t think he knew who I was, I think somebody had just asked him to take the meeting. I left thinking, ‘Well, I guess they weren’t that interested in me.’”
However, his luck did turn around as The Game noted that after he wrestled Alex Wright at Starrcade he received a phone call from Vince McMahon.
“I wrestled Starrcade, was my first PPV ever, I wrestled Alex Wright at Starrcade. They got Vince on the phone, and then Vince said, ‘Hey, I saw you at Starrcade yesterday, I want you to come here.’ And now he was what I wanted him to be. He was like, ‘I want you to come here, I think you’re a talented kid. I’m not offering you any spot, I’m offering you a spot. I don’t guarantee money.’ I had told him when I came in, it’s not about the money for me, I want to work everyday, I want to work the best, I want to be the best. And he said, ‘I promise you this, you’ll work here every single day, you’ll work with the best guys in the business, and if you want to get great, this is where to do it.’ That was all I needed to hear.”
Obviously things turned out ok for Triple H as he’s now one of the most powerful people not only in WWE, but in all of professional wrestling.
