Triple H and Donald Trump met today at the White House.
Starting as a pro-wrestler, Triple H joined WWE in the mid-1990s before rising through the ranks. Soon, The Game found himself a part of the management team before becoming the Chief Content Officer, a couple of years ago.
Owing to his massive popularity and contribution to the world of pro-wrestling, Triple H has been actively involved in other sports as well, and was invited earlier today at the White House as a part of President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order to expand the Presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition.
People from all over the world saw Trump introduce Triple H as a long-time friend of his and as someone ‘not to be messed with’. Adding a comedic touch to his introduction, Trump also proceeded to touch Paul Levesque’s biceps and claim, ‘oh! very strong’, before laughing it away.
“He’s a man who you’re not going to mess around with. He’s another one that’s been my friend for a long time. He’s really an amazing athlete. Triple H. He’s a strong guy. And it’s great to have you. And you felt very strongly about this, about the council. It’s a great honor to have.”
Following the introduction, the 14-time World Champion took the stage and claimed,
I truly appreciate all that everybody is doing for the health and wellness for the entire country. For me, since I was 14 this has been such an important part of my life to help fitness, sports, nutrition, all of it. I think learning that at an young age sets you up for success in life. I look forward to the opportunity to help make our youth healthy—help get them engaged in sports and let them learn what it takes to be successful in life. So, thank you very much for the honor.”
The fitness test was originally established in the 1960s but ended during the administration of President Barack Obama.
The Presidential Council’s growth indicates a strengthened federal priority concerning youth fitness and sports involvement in schools throughout the United States. As per Fox News Sports, the initiative looks to combat declining youth fitness levels using structured physical education programs.
