Triple H has offered an encouraging update on his health while reflecting on his passion for the wrestling business.
During an appearance on The Stephen A. Smith Show, the WWE Chief Content Officer was told he looked healthy and vibrant, prompting him to address the cardiac issues that ended his in-ring career.
“There’s moments in time where everybody has setbacks in life, and things hit you hard,” Triple H said. “I did have the issues. They’re behind me now. I want to make sure they stay behind me, so I’m cautious of everything I do, and I’m protective of it.”
Triple H said that, outside of his family, WWE is what drives him. “You have to have something that you’re passionate about in your life, and your why, and outside of my family, my kids, my wife, this is my why, and I love this business,” he said, noting that he never would have met his wife, Stephanie McMahon, without it.
Despite the demanding schedule, Triple H said being around the company’s young talent energizes him. “We’re live two to three times a week, we’re in a different city all the time. It’s a lot,” he said. “But it’s hard to put down, because I love it. I love being around those kids. It keeps you young. It’s like being in the fountain of youth at all times.”
He also praised WWE President Nick Khan as the perfect partner. “I’ve never been around a better businessman,” Triple H said. “He grew up a fan of this. He’s as deep in knowledge as anybody I’ve met out there, and he’s just straightforward. What you see is what you get.”
