Triple H said, “I tell you what, there’s nothing I like better than a good fight. I look forward to getting back in the ring with Sheamus.”

“A lot of things go on in this business; a lot of things are said to get to WrestleMania. On the way here, I said if Sheamus didn’t beat me, he would fall into a pit of obscurity. Not going to happen,” Hunter said. “He has something I haven’t seen in a long time in this business. He reminds me of the way I started when I got into this business.”

TRIPLE H PUTS OVER YOUNG TALENTS OF WWE

WWE held a press conference on Sunday before WrestleMania 26 and RAW superstar Triple H had some very positive things to say about some of WWE’s rising young stars. IGN.com posted the following Triple H quote from the event:
“He’s (Sheamus’s) just a 24/7 ‘I want to get better’ kind of guy and that impresses me. There’s a few guys like that. You know, The Miz is a guy like that. Kofi Kingston’s like that. And to me that the exciting thing about the future for me in the WWE is guys like that, that have that passion,” Hunter said. “There’s a difference sometimes in personalities. It was a very cut-throat business a while ago and everybody was scheming to try and get their spot and you don’t see that now. But you can still see the passion in the guys. And Sheamus is a guy with a ton of it.”
