WWE Executive Vice President of Global Talent Strategy & Development Triple H had undergone successful heart surgery last year after a “cardiac event.” This had raised concerns for the fans and he had been away from the public eye until he spoke with Stephen A. Smith for ESPN this week. A portion of the conversation aired on Friday’s episode of First Take. Triple H is a former nine-time WWE Champion as well as a former five-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion. ‘The Game’ is without question, someone that will be a future individual WWE Hall of Famer.
He had provided an update on his health and future after. He discussed the tough circumstances when he was admitted to the hospital and spoke about his three daughters who were worried about him.
Triple H gets emotional over health concerns
During the interview, HHH got emotional talking about his medical emergency. He spoke about being the man of the family and how his health issues scared his family. ‘The Game’ also revealed how the circumstances changed his outlook on life. Here is what he said:
“Let me tell you, it’s 99% .. it gets real, we have three young girls, 15, 13, and 11. Suddenly I come home, I’m a little bit sick, and their strong dad, always, suddenly is in the hospital. I don’t know if they understood the consequences of it, but there are moments in there where .. when they’re putting you out for stuff and you think, ‘Is this it? Do you wake up from this?’ That’s tough to swallow and makes you think differently… it makes you think differently about life. It doesn’t make you any less driven for the things that you do, but it certainly makes you appreciate the things that you have more, your friends, your family.”
Hunter confirmed that he will never wrestle again because he had a defibrillator pacemaker installed in his chest.
Ryback has attacked Triple H in a new tweet, “You ended up being the biggest disappointment for me personally from loving you growing up, but I wish you well in retirement and future good health. #HHH#TripleH#Ryback#Retirement@TripleH.”
