Former WWE Champion Mick Foley recalled his amazing sending off given by Triple H inside Hell in a Cell contest, 22 years ago, on this day. The Game retained his WWE Championship to put the career of Mick Foley on line. The Hardcore Legend considered the match as a No Way Out contest and said that it was a great way to end his WWE career. He, however, came out of retirement when he took part in a fatal four-way for the World title at WrestleMania.
“22 YEARS AGO TODAY! What a great way to end my career! If only I’d stayed retired. Thank you Triple H for the amazing send-off,” Foley said.
It was in 2004 that Foley made a comeback to forge an intense rivalry with Randy Orton while Triple H continued to pave his way from WWE superstar to pick up an administrative role.

WWE superstar-turned-administrator Triple H has helped the company grow with his vision. It could also be said that his personal relations and understanding about the wrestlers have helped them grow on the circuit.
Former WWE star Kyle O’Reilly recently revealed how ‘The Game’ convinced him to join NXT instead of making headway to the WWE main roster by differentiating between the two with an apt analogy. It should be noted that O’Reilly was a proven name in the individual circuit before signing a contract with WWE in 2017.He made a name for himself on the independent circuit by wrestling on the promotions like New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerilla.

The Canadian also achieved incredible success at the NXT as he won the NXT Tag Team Championship on multiple occasions and was also the original participant in WWE’s first-ever War Games match.
“He said ‘NXT was like the broadway show. It’s where the real performers get out there. They’ve got the chops, they can act, they can sing, they can dance, they can do it all and there are no special effects. There’s no big-budget blockbuster movie special effects that are hiding it all like RAW and Smackdown would be.’ I just thought that was such a great analogy, and it really rang true,” O’Reilly revealed in his conversation with Renee Paquette on her podcast.
Triple H has played a key role in the transformation of NXT as the third brand for the company’s roster.
The vision was set in 2013 and since then he has worked closely with plenty of stars to build-up their career ahead of the releases. It also turned out to be a win-win situation for Triple H as many knowledgeable minds came out in support of him.
