Triple H announced today (Mar. 25) that his in-ring career is over. The “cardiac event” WWE told us he suffered last summer almost killed him, and left him with a defibrillator in his chest. Wrestling is out of the question.
It’s left folks on all sides of the business with mixed emotions. We’re grateful he’s alive and well enough to be appearing on television to tell his story, but sad we’ll never see him wrestle again, and that he didn’t get to go out on his own terms.
Gratitude extends to the three decades of performances The Game delivered during his legendary run. It’s certainly what those he’s worked with at WWE — who in many cases he hired and/or mentored — are focusing on in their remembrances and reactions on social media this afternoon.
Here’s a sampling of those (as is our standard practice, where someone’s quote-tweeted the official announcement, we’ve copied their text and linked to their original):

Paquette also tweeted: So glad Triple H has his health in check. He’s done so much for the wrestling business and given opportunities to so many, myself included. Glad to see him have time with his family, and looking forward to the next chapter! ❤️

Thank you Triple H for the years of entertainment. You were the driving force behind the CWC, which lead to fulfilling a lifelong dream of working for the WWE. For that, I'm forever grateful.

Zack Gibson tweeted: The f*cking man. Thanks for everything both as a fan and professionally
If it wasn’t for his vision, CWC/205Live/NXT, we probably would’ve never made it.
Triple H took a chance on so many of us and allowed us to shine on many levels. Forever thankful.
