00:00So very sadly Triple H recently told us that he was retiring from the world of wrestling.
00:05Now of course eventually every single wrestler has to hang up their boots.
00:09This was doubly sad because of course he didn't want to do this, it came after his heart medical
00:14issue.
00:15That's why when it did all come out and he did that interview, well I had some water
00:19in my eyes.
00:20However what this does mean is that now we can turn our attentions to what he did do
00:23throughout his wrestling run.
00:24That's why I'm Simon from WhatCulture, thank you for joining me, please hit the subscribe
00:28button, and yes I've broken my hand, let's just ignore it, and here are the 10 best Triple
00:33H wrestling matches ever.
00:37Number 10 versus Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 30.
00:43Now if you want to come into my house and say Simon I think this should be higher on
00:46the list I wouldn't argue with you.
00:49And really this came at a time when a lot of the internet wrestling community was pointing
00:53at Triple H going ha ha you can't do the wrestling anymore.
00:57And in fact this was even more exciting at WrestleMania 30 because Daniel Bryan was going
01:02to have to win this match in order to go on to the main event where he would finally have
01:06a shot at the WWE title, and again of course because everyone was looking at Hunter going
01:10well you'll never lose to him, there was this feeling in the air that we were all about
01:15to be trolled.
01:16And it turned out though this wasn't the case and these two had an absolute banger of a
01:20contest that you totally need to check out, and of course it has interference from Stephanie
01:25McMahon but that's just par for the course in WWE.
01:28The point is I liked it then and I probably love it now.
01:32Number 9 versus Cactus Jack at No Way Out 2000.
01:35Now when most people talk about this match we focus on the fact that Mick Foley retired
01:39here until he decided to come back to professional wrestling and do lots and lots of matches,
01:44but this was the culmination of an amazing feud between Mankind slash Cactus Jack and
01:48Triple H because both those dudes brought the best out of each other.
01:52It also happened in Hell in a Cell and if we're being honest with ourselves there are
01:55three of these which most wrestling fans will talk about first, you have the original one
02:00in 1997, you have the one between Undertaker and Mankind in 1998, and then you get to this
02:05one because it was damn good.
02:08This is an absolute bloodbath as well with both guys just wanting to destroy each other
02:12and that's why there's weapons, a bunch of the red stuff, and it ends with both of them
02:16on top of the Hell in a Cell where Triple H back body dropped Cactus Jack through the
02:21damn thing and when he hits the ring canvas it basically exploded.
02:26And you get some negative nances out there who go like, oh man will they clearly gimmick
02:29this to begin with, yes, do you not understand what professional wrestling is?
02:33Did you want Mankind, Mick Foley and Cactus Jack to actually take that fall?
02:37Of course you didn't, that would be flab and stupid, but once again this is great.
02:42Number 8 versus The Undertaker at WrestleMania 28.
02:44Never forget that The Undertaker and Triple H have actually fought three times at WrestleMania,
02:48you have this one, you have the one at WrestleMania 29, and you have that one at WrestleMania
02:5317 which nobody ever talks about, and if you believe the rumour mill, we only got that
02:59because about a week beforehand Vince McMahon said, oh silly bean, I forgot to put him in
03:04a match.
03:05It's really the story here that makes it work so well, because of course in the two previous
03:08WrestleManias Shawn Michaels had tried to defeat the Deadman and he couldn't, so now
03:12his best friend was going to give it a go, but even the heartbreak kid was saying to
03:17Triple H, I've weighed up the situation pal, and I don't think you can do it.
03:21This then gets even deeper when you get to the night itself, because the narrative is
03:25that Triple H beat the holy hell out of The Undertaker, but he still couldn't defeat him,
03:31even though The Game is able to walk away, whereas The Fiend armour is all wibbly wobbly.
03:35So there's a bunch of drama, there's a bunch of desperation, and I often see people pooh
03:39poohing over this, well you won't do it up here in my house.
03:42This is a good good match.
03:447.
03:45Backlash 2000
03:46Now really this should have been the match at WrestleMania, but for some reason we had
03:50to do Triple H vs. The Rock vs. The Big Show vs. Mankind Cactus Jack McFoley, whatever
03:55the hell you want to call him, and to this day I don't really know why.
03:59You also get a ton of stuff happening here, because Mr. McMahon had turned his back on
04:03The Rock in order to team up with Triple H and D-Generation X, so the odds were stacked
04:08against a great one, and we as fans were all panicking because we were like, oh man
04:12we want The Rock to win, but it didn't look like he was going to.
04:14This also ties in directly into the match because it's shenanigans central, but I'm
04:18all good with that because do you know what happens at the end?
04:21Stone Cold Steve Austin returns, he gets the biggest pop, it'll make you feel a warmer
04:26fuzz in your tum tum, he attacks Triple H, that allows The Rock to become the champion,
04:31and it's just fun, and it's just good times, and dare I say it, it's sports entertainment
04:36done right.
04:37Triple H then follows up with a pedigree, and until Brock Lesnar would actually defeat
05:06this at WrestleMania 30, it was the closest we ever came to ending Take A Streak.
05:12They also absolutely brutalise each other, and if you haven't seen this, make sure you
05:16watch it and then Google their backs or how their backs look after the fact, it is pretty
05:22damn disgusting.
05:23Really though, what I think this achieves is that at the end of it all, you look at
05:26all of those three guys and you think, you know what, you are some of the best to ever
05:30do it, and I stand by that fact.
05:32Number 5 vs Stone Cold Steve Austin at No Way Out 2001
05:36So yes, this match came about after Rikishi did it for The Rock, but then actually Rikishi
05:40had done it for Triple H, it's all very confusing, and it got us to Stone Cold vs Triple H in
05:46the Three Stages of Hell match.
05:47And if you're wondering why we haven't had that many other Three Stages of Hell matches,
05:51it's because, at least I think, this one was so well done, nobody could come up with
05:55any ideas to top it.
05:57It also meant you got to see a straight wrestling match, a no holds barred match and a cage
06:00match, and WWE just played and circumvented all your expectations here, and while the
06:06finish is a little bit loopy-goofy, I don't really like it.
06:09Because essentially both guys have kicked each other's ass so bad they fall onto the
06:14floor, but luckily for Triple H he just so happened to fall on top of Austin and he scores
06:20the 1-2-3, but this shouldn't have really counted, I mean there was no force behind
06:25it at all.
06:26It worked perfectly though, because coming out the other side Stone Cold Steve Austin
06:29felt like a bigger star and so did Triple H, and never forget when you achieve that,
06:33you have done the magic of wrestling.
06:35Number 4 vs Cactus Jack at the Royal Rumble 2000
06:38And of course this all ties into that amazing feud that these two guys had, and once again
06:43if you want to come up here in my house and say, Siren this should have been number 1,
06:46well it was damn close.
06:47And there are so many accolades you can throw at this as well.
