Triple H is My Favourite Wrestler since i started to watch WWE, Somehow this dvd didn`t do it for me, Ok There was also a Good matches in it but, Marc Mero i mean REALLY. Where were Matches Between, Kurt Angle, The Rock and even Randy Orton and only 1 match with Stone Cold..But if you are intrested in profiles and such, This is a Good dvd for you. HHH himself outlines the matches.
So 3 Stars should do it, They Can do better with this guy.

triple h is one of wwes greatest ever champions, posessing razor sharp technical and verbal skills hes remained on top of wwe for over a decade, testament to how good he is, is the fact that even after two career threatening quadracep injuries that have relieved him of his speed and agility(may 2001 and january 2007) he continues to be one of pro wrestlings elite workers, its just a shame that he relies on political stroke and not these world class abilities far too often, i think powerslam magazine said best in issue 78 back in november 2000 "an incredible talent and a ruthless buisnessman".
its inevitable with any wwe release, that something will be missing, its impoosible to include everything on two or three discs, but "triple h; the king of kings" is one of the worst offenders with several glaring ommissions, personally i would have given triple h the 3 disc bio treatment.for starters where is the awesome street fight v mick foley (royal rumble 2000), i realise this has been on multiple dvds already but its deeply absorbing and never gets old, im tired of writing about the holes that cutting chris benoit matches out leaves (triple h especially) missing is a smooth technical collision from no mercy 2000 and the collection of tussles from 2004, including the two fantastic 3 way matches that also involved shawn michaels (wrestlemania xx and backlash) and a good bout from vengeance. there are no matches pitting the game against chris jericho, thier superb last man standing match from fully loaded 2000 and excellent hell in a cell match from judgment day 2002 are absent, we are given no bouts from his killer fued with the rock, thier matches between march-august 2000 ranged from good (backlash) to superb (judgment day under iron man rules) and a thrilling 3 way (summerslam which also included kurt angle), you may have gathered that 2000 was a stellar year for triple h, but only one match from this time period is included which is a shame. furthermore the last match is from april 2006 which leaves a huge gap between it and the dvds release in 2008, wwe could have covered the dx v rated rko fued in late 2006/early 2007, though this rivalry was admittadly an overall dissapointment (cyber sunday was average and triple matches with randy orton on raw were boring)and was cut short (hhh tore his quad at nyr 2007) the four men involved redeemed themselves with an intense and bloody brawl at new years revolution 2007. some of the matches that are included are also questionable, the 2 out of 3 falls encounter v shawn michaels (armageddon 2002) doesnt generate one fifth of the drama that thier incredible stunt brawl from summerslam 2002 did, though it contains plenty of wild stunts (flaming barbed wire bat, splash from the cage through a table for instance) its stil rather dull, and at roughly 40 mintes long, its doubtfull you will revisit this. triple hs very successful return at the royal rumble 2002 is covered, but why do they include the entire rumble match, the closing moments would have been sufficient, this is valuble space that should have been dedicated to the afformentioned fueds/matches. "the cerebral assasin" did a commendable job of carrying a washed up ric flair in late 2005, thier cage collision (taboo tuesday) was okay and thier survivor series showdown under last man standing rules is very violent, screw driver anyone? the latter match is on this set, but agian triple h has had so many bouts, that are so much better than this.
finally we get to the however, so here we go, this 2 disc compilition does thankfully contain some fabulous battles, starting with wrestlmania 14 v owen hart, which is very good, triple hs first world title winning effort against mankind (august 1999) is decent but is unfortunately marred by the rocks guest commentary, "the great one" talks relentlessly about himself throughout the contest when he should have focused on the match and wrestlers, and when he does take time to acknowledge the ongoing title match, he refers, on more than one occassion, to foley as a bad champion. the penultimate match on disc 1 is hunters red hot hell in a cell match against "cactus jack" mick foley(no way out 2000),which contains the unforgettable sight of foley being backdropped through the cell, if only foley had stayed retired after this match as the stipulation stated.h3s match against stone cold from no mecy 1999 is a gripping brawl but as good as this match is, thier 3 stages of hell war at no way out 2001 was better. triple h proved in early 2005 that when hes in the mood he can use his incredible all round talents to very successfully elevate others, the slow building storyline break up between evolution and batista was expertly done, couple this with tripleh putting batista over properly at wrestlemania, backlash and vengeance wwe created a new star for the future, the storyline was a perfect example of how an established star can make someone a superstar, so why doesnt this happen more often? unfortunately their matches were lacking in quality, wwe has wisely skipped thier tedious offerings from wrestlemania 21 and backlash the following month and gone straight to the brutal and compelling hell in a cell match(vengeance 2005), which is one of batistas and triple hs best matches, one spot involved a chair wrapped in barbed wire, and you can actually see little holes in batistas huge back with blood trickling out. as i mentioned earlyer the disc ends in april 2006 at backlash, to be fair its an exciting way to close out the dvd, the triple threat match feauring triple h v edge v john cena is a very enjoyable effort which ends when our man suprisingly taps out again to cenas notoriously naff stf submission hold.
slotted in between the matches are short interview clips with triple h himself talking about his career, when talking about his first quad injury, (triple h tagged with stone cold against chris jericho and benoit when he first tore his quad muscle in may 2001, this match should have been on here also, it was awesome),apart from this shock inclusion, the biographical segments offer little else, we learn hardly anything about triple hs life outside wrestling or his career before he was famous and are dissapointing. the fact that the segment before the ric flair match is entitled "wrestling my idol" indicates why the match is included, as i said earlier i wouldnt have put this on the dvd.
until wwe releases a difinitive best of triple h collection(3 disc with lots of his best matches please) this will have to do, it is satisfactory with a coule of gems from no way out 2000 and vengeance 2005, but i wanted more from this,but definately worth a look.

A good profile DVD, and one that is better than the Steve Austin collection, although it does suffer from the same problem as Austin's and Rey's releases; missing out on a lot of important happenings in their careers.

We don't really learn much, if anything, about Triple H away from his character (something that used to be a staple of these releases), and the portions of his career that are missing really do detract from the experience, but it is a worthy buy overall.
