On the eve of WrestleMania 38’s climax, I’m inclined to reminisce about a certain recently retired wrestler who has been among the sport’s biggest headliners for longer than virtually anyone else.

Triple H, now 52 years old, was forced into retirement after surgery to have a defibrillator implanted due to a heart condition that nearly cost the 14-time champ his life about six months ago.

His résumé is second to none. He is, now and always, The Game.
