The Game Triple H recently announced his retirement from in-ring action in a interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on Stephen A’s World. During the interview, Triple H said that he battled viral pneumonia, which further deteriorated his health, that went into heart failure and got immediately admitted to the ER.
While speaking, The 14-time World Champion Triple H added that he spoke to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon about competing at WrestleMania 38, but that plans were scrapped by WWE after his cardiac event.
“I was already at a place in my career, as far as the in-ring goes, where I was comfortable being done and finished. If the right thing came along, I hadn’t really said much, but if the right thing came along and they wanted me to do it…I had a conversation with Vince McMahon about doing something at WrestleMania this year in Dallas. We had talked and there were plans for. Obviously, when this happened, it shut all that down. As far as the schedule, WWE is an intense place, it’s 24/7 and you’re running, running, running. It put things in perspective for me.” (H/T: Fightful)
