Triple H shows why he's a true class act

Ever since the internet became a popular source for news gossip about professional wrestling, fans who think they know everything, "smart marks," have berated and bad-mouthed World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Triple H [pictured above] mainly because of his position in the company and marriage to WWE owner Vince McMahon's daughter Stephanie, to which all I have to say to those people is "get over it!"

This afternoon, I read an interesting letter sent in to the Wrestling Observer newsletter from a from in London, England, who wanted to let readers of the Observer know about what Triple H did during the company's tour of London last week.


"Hi Guys, I took my family to see WWE Smackdown at the O2 house show in London on Monday and felt compelled to write about Triple H. I have never been a great fan of his and I know many people have questioned the reasons behind his position within the company. However he gained great respect for me on Monday night after his disqualification win over Vladamir Kozlov. After the match he played with the crowd etc.... On his way back though, he stopped, climbed up a wall and over a barrier to shake hands and high five the disabled people in the disabled section. This for me speaks volume about Triple H the man, which does not get reported often enough. I would appreciate it if this was published. Many thanks. Kind Regards, Chris Sousa-Phipps"


This is just further proof that the men and women of the WWE are the greatest and most humble athletes on the planet, going to great lengths to please the live-crowds every night and to send them home happy. Sadly, no major news or sports media outlet will report on this because of their extreme disgust and bias towards professional wrestling because its not a "real" sport but ask yourself this.....When was the last time "real" sports icons such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Bret Favre, Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter did something like that?

If you have to pause and think, you have your answer [and its less than one].....Never!
