Triple H is easily one of the most polarizing figures in wrestling history. While “The Game” gets endless praise when WWE is firing on all cylinders today, he’s also the first person fans blame when things go wrong. With this in mind, long before he put on the corporate suit, Hunter built up a massive list of enemies behind the scenes.
In this video, we’re digging into the real-life backstage politics and locker room heat while hearing from wrestlers who legitimately did not like Triple H. From accusations of holding talent down and backstage politicking, to blatant jealousy and nepotism, these top stars and legends didn’t hold back on how they felt about the King of Kings.
We’ll look at real stories and podcast quotes from Paul London, Bret Hart, MVP, Scott Steiner, Goldberg and more.
While many of these quotes happened years ago and feelings may have changed over time, it’s fascinating to see how many different people from different eras all say the same thing.

I think Hunter was alright. a good character for the stars to work.
I quit watching years ago but even back in the days he made such a good villain. Married into their family just made you hate him more. Then evolution to me was one of his best runs as the heel.
Hhh the cancer of pro wrestling
Triple h is brian griffin of wrestling
So, the ones who say positive things about hhh are only people on the wwe payroll. Got it
I mean Stephanie McMahon herself (the most biased source possible) has admitted that she saw Hunter being disrespectful and cracking jokes at other wrestlers during production meetings in the 90s, before they started dating. And she still ended up marrying him lol So you can't deny that it's part of his personality and, as it turns out, part of his appeal too
The Cerebral Assassin.
That jericho story of him trying to call him to get directions to the arena and he gives him some funny response, smh
Shoulda fought Big Lenny
Everyone seems to have a clear opinion to either hate him or love him,,‼️As a wrestler I can't be totally impartial since I've always hooked on his gimmicks And it has one of the best entries ever invented in this business , now as a boss in WWE he has made NXT what it is today and that must be recognized that we appreciate the man or not and we can only respect his total investment For what he does in the creative there will always be opinions to criticize it is obvious especially with the marks who always know better than everyone🤣‼️
Paul London is such a mark.
That Ryback comment is like ..just playful. If this is the type of criticism that he has to take there is no wonder he ignores it
I was Razor Ramon fan as a kid therefore I was a fan of the Kliq. But as I gotten older the more I seen through the cracks that the Kliq guys were complete slime and locker room cancer. Never cared for HHH he was like the 3rd wheel with the Kliq the loser that always wanted to fit in.
Yeah, why the Hate Triple H Wrestlers?
Triple H had zero entertainment value
The thing that made me hate him growing up, besides him just seeming like a prick, was that he always had to have a minion out there at ringside.
Still tha face of wrestling 💯💯
"He doesnt drink, he doesnt do drugs, he just studies professional wrestling"
Tbh I respect him for at least trying.
Most of wwf at wcw in early 90's was the same as him
But after nooooowat
Do you have anyone who doesn't complain about everyone for money or views?
hhh is a great heel. and sometimes funny with hbk. but i never liked him back then bc its just like everyone said. he put himself over others too many times
Mavens video was clickbait af
He pussyfooted his way around his criticisms of triple H and then proceeded to kiss his ass the rest of the vid.
I’ve noticed a common theme among wrestlers who are disliked by their peers: they are all marks for themselves. HHH, Goldberg, Hogan all had to squash the workers at a lower status tier purely out of ego.
21:12 WHAT WAS HE ABOUT TO SAY LOL
So much jealousy for triple h..he was smart enough to manipulate people and make his path easy to fame. Hulk hogan and Hbk was also like him. Even he got the talent to back his behavior.
Hardcore Helmsley fan here, Trips has done nothing wrong. Haters are just jealous that he’s successful at every facet of life.
Is there a typo in the title of this video or am I just seeing things?
3:50. That's not the way I saw it. We see who's on top now
As a wrestler he was great and anyone saying he wasn't it's just a hater. As a person i cant really say much, he might have been a pos, but at the same time im sure that a good majority of the top players were just the same.
You can't tell me that people like Austin, Taker or Rock wouldn't behave similarly behind the scenes if they had the power that HHH had.
HHH hated RVD cause he frog splashed on his throat in 2002 elimination chamber.
Brock or Hunter, can't decide who is more despicable and then there is Vince too.
16:21. All i can hear now is "And I didn't push it in her face….and he said ok."
I’ve never met him, he may be an asshole. There’s countless testimonies by wrestlers he tried to negatively affect their careers. His marriage def conveniently gave him unlimited power. His current booking sucks.
But – on screen when he took over dx he was awesome, when he came back from injury in 02 we loved him. he was great in the ring and his promos and heel work after that had a huge part in the era the world loved
Triple h was only on top because he held everyone down
Imagine if John Cena didn’t have break out success wwe would be dead
Realistically Lesnar would have probably stayed and not left if it wasn’t for BS backstage
I respect Lesnar for doing part time and making money
Why does everyone make a big deal about wwe burying wcw and especially the way wwe wrestlers treated wcw guys in rhe locker room. WCW whether it was management or not had spent years talking about putting wwf out of buisness some of the things said and done on tv by both companies were dirty and horrible. You think the rest of the world automatically started treating facist countries with love the minute their crappy leaders died?
HHH is not in control. He is the scapegoat.. the one to take the heat when there is backlash. While literally no one knows who really is pulling the strings of the pro wrestling business.
23:47! It would be fair if they bring back the New age outlaws back in WWE 2006 to feud with the spirit squads. Now hear me out.
1:02 Thanks for bringing that up
Was never a fan
Boring as wrestler
Lame
Kinda don’t like the click
In general
This isn’t in defence of HHH but I just feel like generally, nobody rises to positions like that without being an absolute asshole that pisses people off
Wow.. the only time I've ever agreed with the Ultimate Warrior
Ive called this back in 2001 when it was obvious he waa burying Jericho. The Triple H worshippers insisted there was no politics. Now in 2026, with videos documenting the reign of terror, and this video, i was proven right. Triple H did long term damage to the company with all the guys he buried, guys who were better than him.
The fact that he can't wrestle anymore but is still trying to be the centre of the show is a testament to his ego.
No wrestlers can say I defeated someone , when before the match the outcome was already decided.
if nobody is hating, it means you are not doing anything right.
