WWE Hall of Famer says “not many people are better at playing the long game” than Triple H

During an interview with the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Sean “X-Pac” Waltman commented on the creative work of Paul “Triple H” Levesque in WWE. Waltman stated that he knew about Triple H’s potential during the D-Generation X days…

“I totally envisioned it. Absolutely. Without a doubt. More so after DX. Not in the early car rides. Not before we all left and went (to WCW). It was obvious to me when I came back where he was going eventually, at some point. When we were doing DX, he was already really involved then in creative and had Vince’s [Vince McMahon] ear and Vince’s confidence.”

“Paul is a guy that, not many people are better at playing the long game than Paul is. He has a destination point and a goal and he sees where it’s at. Getting through the shit that he had to go through was the past to get there. It’s just like all the crazy stuff with Vince coming back and Paul being gone. He just stayed the course. Now, he’s the fucking man.” (quotes courtesy of WrestleZone.com)
