Triple H Reveals What Happened During His First Meeting With Vince McMahon

Triple H has obviously gotten very close to Vince McMahon over the years, but back in the 90s he was just a talent trying to get his foot in the door at WWE.

During an appearance on a recent episode of The Bump Triple H talked about his first meeting with Vince McMahon and he noted that he doesn’t believe Vince was aware of him as a performer at the time.

When Triple H’s contract with WCW was coming to an end he met with Vince, and he said that there first meeting was very cordial.

“So we had a very cordial meeting. He just asked me what my plans were and what I was thinking about doing and why I wanted to go there as oppose to staying where I was and all that kind of stuff, but I guess the biggest takeaway for me was just the larger than life impression of Vince McMahon that you get.

He has a presence and when you’re in a room with him, that presence carries over and I’ve seen it in meetings with the biggest, so to speak, heavy hitters in industry and in business, and he’s in the room and he carries the room. So it was quite a meeting, it would be a little bit later that, maybe like a month later, that he would then call me, I think now he was aware of what I was doing, had seen me work, it was after I had performed at Starrcade against Alex Wright, kind of at the very end of my contract, and he called me right after that to say, ‘Look, if you’re still interested in coming here, I saw what you did at Starrcade and I’d like you to come here.’”

Obviously Triple H ended up signing a deal with WWE, and the rest as they say is history.
