Triple H Talks Becoming a WWE Executive, His Upcoming DVD, and More

WWE COO and former champion Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, recently sat down with New Hampshire Magazine to promote his upcoming DVD release, “Thy Kingdom Come.” In the interview, The Game talks about how he got into the business, becoming an executive for the company, and more. Below are some notable quotes from the article.

After such an illustrious career inside the ring, how were you approached about becoming an executive?

I’ve enjoyed the creative process [of pro wrestling] almost as much as I enjoy going out there and doing it. Vince [McMahon, WWE head] used to joke with me and say, “When are you going to stop rolling around in the dirt and come and do some real work at the office?” and that eventually became, “I want you to be in this position when I can’t do this anymore,” which was the most flattering thing anybody could say me because he was the guy that created all of this.

What makes your new DVD, “Thy Kingdom Come,” different from your previous DVDs?

This one is much more of a documentary, as opposed to just a compilation of my matches. It’s about me, but my parents are in it, a lot of talent are in it. Even [longtime WWE Superstar] the Undertaker asked to be in it. Plus, they came to the offices and interviewed some people. It covers a lot of “corporate” Triple H.

What does the future hold for the WWE with you in the position that you are in?

We are Disney. We are entertainment … not just one-dimensional. Just think: 10 years ago, Marvel was just the comic book guys. We are, and will continue to be, a growing global content provider for entertainment of all kinds.
