“The King of Kings” is one of the most iconic superstars in WWE history. He’s a future first-ballot WWE Hall of Famer. (He has already been inducted as a member of D-Generation X. ) But by 2016, he was arguably more than a decade removed from his prime. Few fans expected him to regain his status as a full-time competitor in 2016.
Triple H was recently a guest on WWE’s The Bump, and he discussed various topics before the NXT New Year’s Evil show. But the hosts certainly wanted to talk to “The Cerebral Assassin” about his own incredible WWE career. His final full-time run in 2016 with the company came up in the conversation. Here, “The Father of NXT” made it clear that this transition was quite daunting.
Triple H admitted that Vince McMahon has always turned to him when the company needs “The King of Kings.” He has always done his best to deliver, but Triple H didn’t hide the fact that it can be difficult to perform at a high level after a lengthy hiatus.
Triple H thought he might be forced to retire before his WWE return in 2002
2016 wasn’t the only intimating obstacle Triple H faced in his WWE career. Before his triumphant return from a quad injury in 2002, he questioned whether he would ever be able to wrestle again.
