5 crazy backstage stories about Triple H: Part 1

Triple H is, without a doubt, one of the most influential names in WWE history and has been associated with the company since the mid 90's. Needless to say, ol' Hunter has quite the collection of unbelievable stories to tell from his time in the locker room; from the consequences of his first pedigree to his part in one of the most controversial endings of a match in the history of pro-wrestling. Let's take a quick dive into the craziness that is the legacy of Paul "Triple H" Levesque.

#1 His first pedigree ended in legal trouble

Triple H debuted his version of the facebuster, more accurately, the double underhook facebuster, which he dubbed 'the pedigree' on an episode of Superstars in 1996. On the receiving end of the finisher was a jobber by the name of Marty Garner, who was quite unfamiliar with the move and tried to sell it as an underhook suplex: jumping up and landing straight on his head, damaging his neck.

Garner sued the company immediately after and the dispute was settled out of court. Both Superstars went on their merry way and thankfully the iconic move was never banned.
