10 rare photos of Triple H you may not have seen

#8 Trained by Killer Kowalski

Thankfully he got rid of the fluffy hair.

Triple H, by this point, had grown his hair out, mainly to match his idol, Ric Flair. He is pictured with Killer Kowalski here, the man that would train the future World Champion.

Triple H looks very respectable here, especially considering he was a wrestler in training and they are not exactly known for being flush with money. This just shows that Triple H didn’t have the hard luck stories that a lot of other trainee wrestlers in his position did.

He had actually been noticed by a fellow bodybuilder Ted Arcidi, who introduced him to the famous Killer Kowalski. He then agreed to start training to be a wrestler in 1992 at Kowalski’s school in Massachusetts.

A lot of Triple H’s nuances in the ring hark back to an older style of wrestling and it’s thanks to this man that you notice these little intricacies in Triple H’s game.

In this picture, Triple H looks over the moon to be with Kowalski. Unfortunately, I could not find the date that this was taken so I can’t give you more information other than this is a pretty neat picture of master and student.
