Line 67:
** [[Triple H]] was also [[The Dragon]] to [[Shawn Michaels]] in the early days of [[D Generation X]], until HBK got injured and HHH [[Dragon Ascendant|became the new leader]].
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]] / [[Companion Cube]] is a sledgehammer.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: During Hunter Hearst Helmsley's first two televised matches in the WWF (against Buck Zumhofe and John Crystal), the Pedigree was a Diamond Cutter. He debuted the double underhook facebuster version of it in his third match, against Brian Walsh.
* [[Epic Fail]]: His insistence that his WWE Undisputed Championship match against [[Chris Jericho]] going after the far more anticipated [[Hulk Hogan]] vs [[The Rock]] match at Wrestlemania X8. Interest was so low that people, absolutely drained by the preceding "dream match", actually started leaving during the match. After winning the Championship, he lost it immediately to the now revitalized Hogan at the next Pay Per View. It took years for him to admit he was in the wrong.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards| Even The Game Has Standards]]:
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
{{quote|'''[[John Cena]]''': Well, it looks like He-Man ([[Triple H]]) and Skeletor (Edge) have some unfinished business...}}
* [[Fake Nationality]]: His father is French-Canadian, but his character in WWE is obviously a [[White Anglo Saxon Protestant]] American.
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
*
** Not to mention "Triple Haitch", courtesy of [[William Regal]].
** And "The Nose of Noses" or "The Human Water Sprinkler".
** [[Wrestlecrap|Crappers]] have taken to calling his several World Heavyweight Championship reigns between 2002 and 2005 the "Reign Of Terror."
*** Which is sometimes called the "Reign of Terra,'' as a nod to his first character, Terra Ryzing.
** His finisher, the Pedigree, is called [[Fan Nickname|"the burial"]] by [[Smart Mark
** Trips.
* [[Finishing Move]]: The Pedigree - also an [[The Artifact|artifact]] from the Hunter Hearst Helmsley gimmick. There was also a short period of time in the mid 2000s that he started using a sleeper as a finisher.
* [[Fleeting Demographic Rule]]: What his [[Wrestlemania]] 27 feud with [[The Undertaker]] was. They last fought each other at WrestleMania 17.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Has it with [[The Undertaker]], most notably, as well as [[Shawn Michaels]] when they were feuding from '02-'05 and boatloads of it with [[Randy Orton]] in their 2009 feud.
Line 127 ⟶ 129:
** He was blamed for the infamous Katie Vick angle; that was created by Kevin Dunn, with approval by [[Vince McMahon]].
*** On the other hand, he probably could have gotten the storyline killed or at least retooled if he really wanted to. But given Vince's [[Yes-Man|historical reluctance, if not outright refusal, to take "no" for an answer]]...
**
** Frankly, because of his pull backstage and his reputation of burying other wrestlers, it's almost standard operating procedure to blame him for anything. He was accused of forcing Chris Masters to continue his dreadful Master Lock Challenge long after it overstayed its welcome, and frequently takes the blame any time a wrestler seems to be stuck in a bad gimmick because he's "holding them back" because he's "threatened by them."
** In a possible case of [[Reality Subtext]], this bled over into the 'walkout' story-line that took up a big chunk of late 2011, with Trips (as the kayfabe Chief Operating Officer) taking the fall for a lot of things that were frankly out of his control.
