Triple H
Triple H recently drew curtains on his illustrious in-ring career which spanned 30 years. During the course of his career, he became a 14-time World Champion in WWE. Just over a year ago, Triple H had challenged Tesla CEO Elon Musk to a WrestleMania match on Mars.
The tongue-in-cheek challenge was laid out on The Good Times show on Clubhouse. The Game was asked by host Sriram Krishnan how he felt about Musk probably not respecting wresters as much as he should, Triple H made light of Musk’s achievements.
Triple H shed light on Musk’s surreal achievements:
“Let me address Elon Musk because I feel like there’s some disrespect going on here,” he said. “Because I don’t know if he has a superiority complex because he’s a rocket scientist, a self-taught rocket scientist, right? Big deal. He’s a guy that sort of revolutionized the electric car all because he wanted to fly rockets to Mars. Big deal. Taught himself how to build cars, taught himself how to revolutionize the automotive industry, taught himself how to revolutionize space travel. [Then] comes up with reusable rockets, the whole thing.”
Paul “Triple H” Levesque is WWE’s Executive Vice President, Global Talent Strategy & Development. The Cerebral Assassin had continued saying that despite Musk’s phenomenal achievements, he has never beaten anyone. Then he went on to challenge him to a match, “anytime, anyplace, anywhere.”
Triple H had suggested the idea of hosting a WrestleMania on Mars.
“Elon Musk, if you’ve got the guts, if you have what it takes to do this… then you and I will talk about what I really want to talk about, which is taking one of your rockets, launching it from Florida, going up into space, heading to Mars with a team from the Performance Center, where we then put on the largest spectacle the Universe has ever seen – WrestleMania Mars.”
As many of you know, Triple H announced his retirement from the in-ring competition last week.
Triple H told Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take on Friday that he will never wrestle again. The Game was diagnosed with viral pneumonia which led to heart failure and he admitted he wasn’t sure he would make it.
After he announced his retirement, many superstars from past and present lauded him for a spectacular career. Many superstars of the current generation as well as commentators like Corey Graves and Michael Cole thanked him for his support in the company and beyond.
