Ricky Steamboat Comments about Triple H
“Ricky, you got enough room? Here, Ricky, you can have the arm rest…I’ll lean out in the aisle. Ricky, you sure you got enough room?”
Well, as we got airborne, we got deep into the subject of our business. For hours, it was one question after another - and I was impressed by the type of questions he was asking me. It didn’t take long to know, that this kid had it. That was then, and he has it more so now. - Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat speaking about Triple H at the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame

Triple H, Shawn Michaels answer
questions at Axxess
Two of the most popular WWE Superstars in the WWE, Triple H and Shawn Michaels, did a Q&A session with The Fink yesterday at Axxess in the main ring area.
WWE staff collected questions from fans before the Q&A session. The questions were mostly the usual ques about their careers, WrestleMania and the Fink asking "rapid fire questions" where they had to give the first answer that came to mind.
When he asked both where they see their WWE career 10 years down the road, HBK replied, "Over," which got a big laugh from the crowd.
Triple H said that he won't be wrestling but he will still be around WWE to which Shawn said that it's not like he has any different option, considering he's married to the boss' daughter.
When the Fink asked when did it hit them that they are true Superstars, Triple H turned around and pointed to a little girl and a disabled fan in a wheelchair and said that when he see smiles on their faces when he's out that really shows him that he made it. The answer got an applause from the crowd.
