5 crazy backstage stories about Triple H: Part 2

#3 He wanted to fire Edge back in 2005

Edge's WWE career wouldn't have lasted so long if it was upto HHH — Edge's WWE career wouldn't have lasted so long if it was up to HHH

Edge had a very successful run in WWE within a span of 15 odd years and 11 World Title wins before succumbed to his injuries and left WWE in 2011. If Triple H, however, had more power over the company in 2005, Edge would have had to retire sooner.

The more astute of you would probably remember that the real-life disputes between Matt Hardy and the Rated R Superstar had caused a lot of tension in the locker room and Trips wasn't having any of that.

Triple H rallied the entire roster to try and convince Vince to fire Edge for breaking the sacred code of WWE locker room. In the end, though, McMahon chose to fire Matt Hardy; albeit for a brief period until he was re-hired due to a public outcry.
