Paul “Triple H” Levesque thanked Vince McMahon during his
Hall of Fame induction speech, maybe a topic that many
expected to be touched but no one knew for sure if he was
going there due to the ongoing situation with the sex
trafficking lawsuit.
“Something that I skirted around all night long but I’ve
gotta talk about it…and that’s Vince,” Triple H said as fans
cheered a little.
“It’s a complicated story and a complicated relationship but
in so many ways I would not be here without him, not just in
my business life which would be enough on its own,” he
continued.
Triple H said that Vince was the one who saw something in
him creatively and invited him to those production meetings,
taught him, let him sit under that learning tree, and
encouraged him to continue to learn.
“He wasn’t just my boss, he wasn’t just a friend, he wasn’t
just a mentor, he would become my father-in-law. My wife,
the person I love the most in this world, he’s her father,
he’s my kid’s grandfather, so it’s complicated,” Triple H
added.
“When there’s somebody that helps propel you that far you
owe them so much he taught me so much what to do what not to
do, I’m grateful for all those lessons,” he said as the
Vince chapter came to a close. “I love you Vince, and thank
you.”
Stephanie McMahon, their three kids, and Linda McMahon were
shown in front row during the speech.
Triple H also thanked Shane McMahon, calling him the brother
he never had and told him not to jump off anything high.
