Triple H, a.k.a. Paul Levesque has been the backbone of WWE programming for the last few years. He has taken WWE to another level and garnered praise from a lot of fans for his booking. Continuing this tradition of praise and appreciation, Paul Heyman also had a choice of words for The Game, and he averred to be a ‘Paul Levesque’ guy for his life.

Speaking on NotSam Wrestling, The Wiseman disclosed the story behind always being inspired by Triple H. Heyman recalled his first meeting with The Game on Raw. He said that even at a young age, Levesque had such a wide vision for the future. Hence, The Special Counsel has been infatuated by him since then.

The vision that he had, that as much as ‘I love the past and I’m grounded in the rudimentary and fundamental ways of the business, we got to push it forward;’ even back then, in ’97, I was like ‘Wow, this guy has his finger on the pulse of the future,'
