Triple H and Stone Cold have a storied history in the WWE. They fought with each other on several occasions including the Three Stages of Hell match at No Way Out in 2001. The two teamed up later that year and became the Two Man Power Trip.

At one point, the two held the WWF Championship (Austin) and the Intercontinental Championship (Triple H) along with WWF Tag Team Championship all at once. The two eventually broke up after Triple H suffered a legitimate injury.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
