Including Johnson, Levesque has had rivalries with almost every superstar who walked through the WWE’s doors in the last two decades. He’s gone toe-to-toe with legends such as The Undertaker, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Mick Foley, and his longtime friend, Shawn Michaels.
But what made the character of Triple H so unique is that for much of his career, despite being a ruthless, backstabbing villain, he’s remained a crowd favorite — and it has made for some truly compelling television. But this fandom around Triple H is a testament to Levesque’s dedication to the “artistic performance show” that is professional wrestling.“I think to me — and I still feel this way to this day — that when it is done well, there’s no greater form of entertainment in the world,” he says.

And Roch oh boy is he rich.
Triple H will forever be the best
