WWE - Triple H - The Game (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Triple H - The Game" gives a good rundown of the career of Michael Paul Levesque, aka Hunter Hearst Helmsley, aka Triple H aka The Game. The 77 minute feature, through interviews with Triple H and other luminaries such as Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Pat Patterson, J.R. and Edge, plus select footage, discusses his rise to the top of the WWF/E but gives a general overview of his WWF career and in fact briefly discusses his short stint in the old WCW.
THE FEATURE:
The feature talks about the following:
1.His boyhood idolization of Ric Flair.
2.His stint in WCW as Terra Ryzing/Jean-Paul Levesque
3.His early stint in the WWF as American Blueblood Hunter Hearst Helmsley
4.The infamous "MSG Incident."
5.His phenomenal year 2000 including his feuds with Mick Foley and Kurt Angle (including the comedic spots with Foley and the love triangle with Stephanie and Kurt)
6.His Wrestlemania X-7 match against the Undertaker
7.His quad injury in 2001 and coverage of his surgery and subsequent loooooooong rehab process.
8.His "triumphant" return in 2002 including his big wins at the Royal Rumble and subsequent feud and win at Wrestlemania X-8 against Chris Jericho (sans Stephanie and Dog Poop...)
THE DVD FEATURES
Again the WWE is going to Vault for some great stuff. These are the DVD extras included on this release:
1. Triple H vs. Cactus Jack, Street Fight, from Royal Rumble 2000: The match that firmly established Triple H as a legitimate main eventer. All-out hardcore war as the Hardcore Legend. 5 stars. You can turn on the optional commentary track for this match with Triple H and the Coach if you wish. It's a great listen.
2.Un-aired sketch from Triple H's hosting of MadTV. Will Sasso treats us to his humorous (and near dead-on) impressions of Triple H, The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and the Undertaker. Hilarious!!!
3.Triple H's Favorite Match: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (challenger) vs. Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat (champion) for the NWA Heavyweight Title from Wrestle War '89. Bob Caudle and (a young) Jim Ross on commentary. Terry Funk, the legendary Lou Thesz (RIP) and Pat `O Conner are judges for this contest. 30 minute 5 star Match of the Year classic. This match culminated the red-hot Flair/Steamboat feud and transitioned the equally hot Flair/Funk feud. Truly one of THE GREATEST contests of all time and worth the price of admission alone.
4.The Test and Stephanie McMahon wedding from Monday Night Raw, 11/29/99. The angle that jettisoned Triple H into the main event and set-up the infamous "McMahon-Helmsley FacGime."
5.Triple H's WWF debut match, Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Buck Zumhoff, 4/28/95. Gorilla Monsoon and J.R. on commentary. 3 minute jobber squash.
THE VERDICT:
Overall, this is definitely one of the better personality tapes the WWE has put out this year. The bonus matches were great as it was interesting to see J.R. in his younger days and it was just awesome hearing Gorilla Monsoon's (RIP) voice again. Overall, the extras alone are worth the price of admission alone.
Whether you like Triple H or not, you can't go wrong with this one.
Highest Recommendation
