What Happened In Triple H WWE Hall Of Fame 2025 Hour Long Speech

WWE

Here’s everything that happened during Triple H’s WWE Hall of Fame speech, which clocked in at over an hour long.

Throughout the April 18/19 event, Triple H’s Hall of Fame induction was being hyped up as the main event of the ceremony.

Triple H didn’t disappoint his fans, delivering a speech which started 3 hours 15 minutes into the Hall of Fame YouTube livestream, and ended 1 hour and 6 minutes later.

Shawn Michaels introduced Triple H, making the audience laugh and cry with his own speech, which you can watch a clip of below.

Triple H then arrived on the stage and hugged his best friend, before admitting that he had already been crying for 15 minutes at that point.

The WWE Chief Content Officer went onto thank everyone who has supported him throughout his life and career, noting his belief that “there isn’t a self-made man on this planet.”

Expressing gratitude for the likes of Steve Austin, Mick Foley, William Regal and Terry Taylor, Triple H highlighted his relationship with Dusty Rhodes in particular, noting that it was Dusty who taught him “booking ain’t easy, kid.”

Triple H got emotional during this moment and turned away from the microphone. As can be seen in the video clip below, Triple H shared a heartfelt moment with Cody Rhodes, telling him that his dad meant the world to him.

Triple H then spoke about Evolution, first calling Ric Flair the greatest of all time, before turning his attention to Randy Orton – who was in attendance – and Batista, who Triple H said he wished could’ve been there.

The Game stated that watching Orton and Batista grow into the men they are now lit a fire in him to help people and give back to those around him.

He also paid tribute to Chyna, noting that he’ll forever be thankful for how her contributions to wrestling have inspired generations of female wrestlers.

Triple H went on to speak about his complicated relationship with Vince McMahon, noting that he’s grateful for all of the lessons Vince taught him. You can listen to Triple H’s full comments on Vince McMahon below.

Once again getting emotional, Triple H shone a spotlight on his family, praising Linda McMahon for being a role model, and Stephanie McMahon for being his rock, and his three daughters for their recent achievements.

Triple H signed off by saying:

“I promise you that I will do everything in my power, give everything that I have to take this business that we all love and keep it alive, for the next generation who will keep it alive when i’m gone.

“I promise you that I will work my ass off for you. It might not always be great, it might not always be perfect, but I will give you everything I have, because you made me who I am and I will never forget it.

“So to everybody out there, supporters, haters, I do not care, I’ve got two words for you… I was thinking ‘thank you’, but I’ll go with ‘suck it.’ Thank you very much.”
