Triple H recently did an interview with CBS Sports State of Combat where he talked about a wide range of topics including D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels, himself, Chyna, X-Pac, Road Dogg, and Billy Gunn) being inducted into the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame class.
For Triple H, he made it known in this interview that he’s thrilled for Chyna to be inducted along with the group.
“It’s awesome. I’m thrilled for her as the human being that I knew, for her family and for her sister, who I knew. There is probably not a woman who has ever made as big of an impact as she did. Somebody that transcended the business on her own and I’m sure will be in the Hall of Fame sometime on her own. I think it’s fitting she is in there with DX in the beginning because it’s how she started, and I think it’s what it should be.”
“After she left the business and everything else prevented [her Hall of Fame induction] for a period of time, it’s funny because people look at it and go, ‘Finally, they are putting her in.’ But she’s going into a class with Honky Tonk Man. Like, he’s just getting in there and is a generation before. It’s not a time-limit type thing. … I’m thrilled that it’s this year, partly because finally the time has passed where everything can just happen and it can be right for her where the moment of putting her in the Hall of Fame for this manner is about her accomplishments and not about anything else. That was always my bigger point of this. You can’t do it when [the negative] becomes the conversation. The conversation needs to be about her accomplishments and what she did here.”
This year’s ceremony will take place on April 6, 2019 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
