If you ever have a question or a problem, if you approach Triple H, he might say the most-obvious thing, but it was the last thing you were thinking. As soon as he says it, you’re thinking, ‘Oh my, why didn’t I think of that?’ He’s very smart, and we’re very lucky to have him at our disposal in NXT.
I played football in the fall when I was in high school. Then basketball, a different conditioning – you’re running up and down the courts. Then you come into baseball, you’re doing a sprint to hit a triple.
You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.
I made history here by landing the first triple axel for a U.S. lady, third at the Olympics, and that’s a big deal.
When I was a kid, my pop used to take me to the double feature. He would take me – I had two brothers – and we used to go in the early ’80s and check out these grindhouse movies – a double feature, sometimes a triple feature.
I collect art. I just recently bought two gorgeous photographs of Marilyn Monroe by international photographer Eve Arnold and I know it sounds horrible but when she dies all her pictures are going to be worth triple. But I won’t tell you how much I got them for – let’s just say it was a lot.
My uncles used to call me ‘Devil Child,’ or ‘Triple’ for triple six. They used to tell my brother Chris that they were going to get the demons out of him because he was also a little crazy. But to me, they’d just be like, ‘You’re too far gone. There’s no exorcising you anymore.’
I rose to the top real quick, and I was surrounded by Triple H, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, these guys who were very well respected in the profession, and they wanted to work with me, so I knew I was doing something right.
There was a time in my life when people called me ‘Denim Dan.’ I didn’t like it. And fortunately for my self-esteem, it didn’t stick for very long. I was 12, and I was given the name by my classmates after I showed up to the first day of school in – wait for it – triple denim.
I feel great. I had a triple bypass in 1976 and a quadruple bypass in 1984.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is continually reviewing its safety plan for the 100-plus operating civilian nuclear reactors in the United States. And when those plants were put into operation, they were required to have double and triple redundant safety systems.
Technical things are getting more mechanical. Take ‘Swan Lake,’ the Black Swan pas de deux. Now, my goodness, they’re turning not just 32 fouettes – but double or triple pirouettes.
All I can say is that Triple H is literally the most dedicated man in sports entertainment. Nobody works as hard as he does.
If I had planned to score double and triple hundreds, I would probably not have made them ever.
The Triple Crown, or any of that stuff, is not my focus. My focus is on winning. I just hope people can be happy with that.
You never think of being in that conversation for the triple crown. You don’t even dream about that. It’s a dumb dream. Get real.
I was the lead designer and the general manager of the triple 7 and, of course, the dynamite 787.
Triple 6 Mafia and Mystikal in Atlanta was one of my first shows. I remember how sweaty and smashed up everybody was, and it was so punk rock.
When you translate poetry in particular, you’re obliged to look at how the writer with whom you’re working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence.
Sometimes you need a confidence boost in anything you do and it’s nice to get that from someone like Triple H.
I’m a show pony, and I don’t get to skate with girls doing triple Axels every single day. I skate with little babies who are working on their single Axels while trying not to hit them on the ice.
Even if Scrabble had been invented then, I wouldn’t have wanted to play Scrabble, because the highest triple word score in the world would not have expressed how much I liked the game Natalie and I played every afternoon.
Although there’s a stigma that you learn only until a certain point, and then you just maintain, for me to learn the triple axel at 24 goes to show that anything’s possible.
Triple D is all about three things: Food, story and character.
Triple H is very hands-on and approachable. My whole ‘Glorious’ song is because of Triple H. Before I even signed my contract, we discussed what I wanted to do and what he felt like I could do. It’s been a real joy working for him.
I don’t triple cleanse if I’m not working. If I don’t have a bunch of makeup on, I’ll do one wash, and then I’m done.

After conducting Wagner, Beethoven’s triple concerto is like taking an Alka Seltzer.
