Triple H Remembers Wrestling First WWE Match While Under WCW Non-Compete

In a post on Twitter, Triple H spoke about first wrestling for the WWF in 1995, while he was still under a non-compete clause following his release from WCW.

He wrote: “Was signed w/ WWE but still on a non compete from WCW. Called JJ Dillion & begged him & Vince to let me work this card & flew myself in. Brought my dad, 1st time he ever saw me wrestle for a big promotion live & at Boston Garden where he watched as a kid. Night I’ll never forget!”

Legendary Manager Surprised TNA Is Still In Business


Legendary manager J.J. Dillon recently appeared on the Ministry Of Slam radio show. During the interview, Dillon discussed TNA and why he feels they will never be able to be competitive with WWE.

"I was very disappointed when WCW went out of business, because there was no competition left – and competition is always healthy for the industry," Dillon said (via FSM). "All of a sudden, here was a new company (TNA) who had something different to offer fans than what WWE were handing out. I was hoping TNA would be that product to fill the void left by WCW. There were some great minds instrumental in starting it, such as Jerry and Jeff Jarrett, but I've always said that you have one opportunity to make a good first impression. It was a chance for them to establish their own identity right away, but there seemed to be a pattern right from the beginning for guys to talk about how they had been held back in WWE."

"If you continue to talk about your main competitor, then I feel the average fan will see that competitor as the major leagues. That happened time and time again, and it turned that chance at a first impression for TNA into a group of WWE cast-offs who had come together and were all sour grapes. After all these years, I'm surprised that TNA are still in business, because they have tried everything. I don't think they'll ever be at the stage where they'll be competitive with WWE."

JJ Dillon Comments on WWE HOF Induction, Ole Anderson, and More


"It's an incredible honor. I'm humbled beyond belief. My career was a dream come true. It spanned 45 years and it was an incredible story." said Dillon who would further explain his relationship with Vince McMahon.

"What some people might not know is that I worked for the WWF in a management position for about 7 years. Unfortunately, things didn't end so well. I left the WWF, and I didn't speak to Vince for 10 years or so. Then I was surprised when they called me and asked me to be a part of Flair's farewell a few years ago. So, we're standing in the hallway and as Tully and I were about to go out there, Vince came up to us, shook our hands and thanked us for coming. That was the first time I spoke to him and it opened the doors for this tremendous opportunity to be inducted into the HOF."...More?
