Triple H a former 14-time World Champion who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of DX (D-Generation X), is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is presently WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent Relations. 

Triple H’s real name is Paul Michael Levesque. On July 27, 1969, he was born in Nashua, New Hampshire. When Levesque was young, he saw Chief Jay Strongbow wrestle for the first time. Ted Arcidi, a world champion powerlifter who was then working for WWE, was introduced to him while he was managing a gym in Nashua. Levesque eventually convinced Arcidi to introduce him to former wrestler Killer Kowalski, who maintained a professional wrestling school in Malden, Massachusetts, after many failed attempts.

Between 1994 and 1995, he competed for World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he was repackaged as a French-Canadian aristocrat called Jean-Paul Lévesque. In 1995, he joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), where he adopted the ring names Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Triple H.
