Whether you love him or hate him, there’s no way WWE would have ever been the same without the 14-time World Champion, Triple H.
Triple H has been the backbone of WWE for some time now, and since he has transformed into an authority role in the company, he has made some of the best decisions and changes for the benefit of the company.
The most notable change Hunter has made has been to NXT, which has changed into something great over the past three years or so and has become the top supplier of talent to RAW and SmackDown.
Known for always doing what’s best for business, Triple H has also ventured into the world of show business which has been a good change for the iconic Superstar. While he may not be as big as John Cena, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, or even The Miz in Hollywood, Triple H still has a respectable acting portfolio to his name.
In this article, we will look at the 6 movies Triple H has starred in to-date, and how they have fared on the silver screen.
#6 Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery (2014)
Everyone’s favorite crime-solving gang decides it’s time to solve a few mysteries around an event we love to call WrestleMania!
Co-produced by Warner Bros. Animation and WWE Studios, we watch Scooby and the gang appear at The Grandest Stage of Them All in this animated flick that sees several WWE stars lend their voices to characters based on them.
Scooby-Doo and Shaggy win an all-expenses-paid stay at WWE City to watch WrestleMania after beating the hardest level of the organization's latest video game. The two fan-favorite characters convince Fred, Daphne, and Velma to join them for the show, and the gang takes a road trip to WWE City.
After getting some help from John Cena to get the Mystery Machine out of a ditch and back on the road, the gang reaches the show.
At the show, Mr. McMahon unveils the WWE Championship belt, which has been held vacant since Kane's last match was overturned. Late at night, Scooby and Shaggy encounter a monster called the Ghost Bear before running for their lives. The WWE Superstars try to help out with the case, but Brodus Clay and Triple H get overpowered by the monster.
The story then writes itself from there on and we see dozens of other WWE Superstars, including AJ Lee, Santino Marella, Sin Cara, The Miz, and Big Show appear in the movie for short roles.
#5 Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon (2016)
The success of the first movie led WWE Studios to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation once again to come out with a sequel. Titled Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon, the WWE Superstars once again took to the studios to lend their voices to characters based on themselves.
In the movie, we see the company host a Muscle Moto X Off-Road Challenge, an off-road race for WWE Superstars. Rather than being participants or spectators, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are there working at a food truck.
Triple H is one of the stars in the race, including Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and The Undertaker! However, just like every other Scooby-Doo movie, a monster appears in the form of a demon racer named Inferno to sabotage the race. This forces Mr. McMahon to enlist the help of the mystery-solving gang to solve the mystery.
After a long chase, and some exciting twist and turns, Inferno is defeated and revealed to be none other than Triple H himself! The disqualification of Hunter allows The Undertaker to win the race by default.
This is a much more enjoyable movie than the first one, and it is sure to give the entire family a good time!
#4 Surf's Up 2: WaveMania (2017)
Triple H has the voice of an angel. Or at least those who are fans of wrestling and love The Game believe he does.
Many of us would have already watched Surf’s Up. Yes, the same movie about the friendly 17-year-old Cody Maverick, a northern rockhopper penguin who lives in Shiverpool, Antarctica that released in 2007.
The sequel to the movie was released in 2017, titled Surf's Up 2: WaveMania. Produced by WWE Studios in collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation, the movie stars several WWE Superstars who voice "The Hang 5", a team of extreme surfers and thrillseekers consisting of sea otter Mr. McMahon, penguins J.C., The Undertaker, Hunter and Paige, and their announcer Seagull.
Triple H voices the character of Hunter, while John Cena voices J.C. and Michael Cole lent his voice for the character of Seagull. Along with that, The Undertaker, Paige, and Vince McMahon voice their respective characters in the movie, and don’t hesitate to crack a few jokes here and there.
Hunter has a very prominent character in the movie, and the family-friendly film is a lot of fun to watch, especially for the little ones.
#3 Blade: Trinity (2004)
Enough with the animated movies, it’s time to get Triple H on screen! I’m guessing most of us would have watched the movie Blade: Trinity, or at least heard about it at some point. If you haven’t watched it yet, consider yourself lucky.
The movie is famous for being Ryan Reynold’s first collaboration with Marvel Entertainment in which he plays his first Superhero character, Hannibal King.
What’s more, is the fact that the movie allows our very own Triple H to make his acting debut on the silver screen. While the debut wasn’t as successful as many would have liked, it still allowed Hunter to play a prominent character in the movie.
He plays the role of the vampire Jarko Grimwood. Grimwood is part of a vampire group that travels through a Syrian desert to find the tomb of Dracula. Why would they do such a thing? Well, to kill off Blade, of course!
WWE’s current business executive plays more of a nemesis to Reynold’s character, Hannibal King, and the two engage in an interesting action sequence. The Game also enjoys torturing King once he is captured in the movie, much like he did to Batista at WrestleMania 35 in the No Holds Barred Match, but he doesn’t come out victorious in this fight as King ends up killing him later on in the movie.
#2 The Chaperone (2011)
Enough with playing secondary roles. It’s time to give Triple H the wheel (quite literally!) Produced by WWE Studios, the 2011 movie titled The Chaperone sees Triple H play the lead role on the silver screen.
Hunter plays the role of a loving father named Ray Bradstone in this comedy flick that sees him as the best wheelman in the business. However, he tries to make amends with his wife and decides to give up a life of crime to become an even better father.
Ray then decides to chaperone his daughter Sally’s school field trip, as if nothing could go wrong.
However, his former gang’s robbery goes awry and they blame Ray for the mishap, leading them to come after him while he is supervising the children.
The result is an interesting car chase, as Triple H tries to deal with his former gang leader and tries to protect his daughter while giving the kids the craziest field trip they could have ever imagined!
Even though the movie has a below-average rating, wrestling fans will still love to watch Triple H play a completely different role on the big screen than they’ve seen him play in the ring!
#1 Inside Out (2011)
If comedy isn’t your cup of tea, then maybe this crime-drama will thrill you more. Released the same year as The Chaperone, this WWE Studios produced movie came out a decade after the 9/11 attacks.
Triple H takes the reigns once again as he plays the lead role of Arlo "AJ" Jayne, an ex-con. After having served 13 years in Angola for manslaughter, AJ returns to his hometown to protect the woman he loves (Claire) and her young daughter from his former best friend (Jack).
The intense movie sees AJ’s best friend Jack marry the love of his life Claire while he is in prison, and then pretend to be the father of his daughter, even though Pepper is AJ’s biological daughter.
After Jack is in trouble for getting involved in some illegal activities, AJ realizes that Claire and Pepper are in mortal danger and must race against time to save them while revealing Jack’s true face.
The action-packed movie has something for every Triple H fan and sees him do a much better job at acting even though the movie does not have very favorable ratings and reviews.
