5 crazy backstage stories about Triple H: Part 2

In part 1 of the craziest stories about WWE's Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, we took a look at some of the lesser known events in the Superstar's career. Let's pick up where we left off with another set of awe-inspiring backstage tales about Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

#1 Triple H wanted to "Pull The Plug" On Ryback

On the December 12th, 2016 episode of his podcast, Conversation with the Big Guy, Ryback mentioned that he was in the hospital in 2010 recovering from his third ankle surgery when Triple H paid him a surprise visit. Ryback quotes Triple H saying "Eventually, we're gonna have to pull the plug on you", which could have been a bad hospital pun; or him announcing that his push will be over soon.

Either way, Ryback took it really personally and felt let down by WWE. He later recalled that it lit a fire under him and that he realised he was working for the devil. This interaction with HHH was only one of the many incidents that, in the end, caused him to leave the company in 2016.
