Triple H’s Jaw-Dropping Pedigree: The Moment That Nearly Altered a Wrestler’s Destiny

Triple H’s Career-Altering Pedigree Incident

Paul “Triple H” Levesque, a recent WWE Hall of Fame inductee, has left an indelible mark on the wrestling industry. Known for his involvement in iconic WWE eras and moments, Levesque’s finisher, the Pedigree, stands out as a pivotal move in his career. However, this move, when not executed correctly, can have severe consequences, as one early opponent of Levesque discovered.

In the first half of 1996, then known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Levesque faced setbacks, including losses to The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania XII. During a match with Marty Garner on an episode of “WWE Superstars,” a miscommunication led to a potentially career-ending moment. As Levesque attempted the Pedigree, Garner misinterpreted the move, resulting in a dangerous landing that could have caused serious injury.

Fortunately, both men emerged unharmed from the incident. Despite rumors of a lawsuit against WWE, Garner clarified in a recent interview that he harbored no ill will and appreciated the opportunity to work with the promotion. Levesque, shocked by the mishap, took steps to modify the Pedigree for improved safety, ensuring better communication with his opponents to prevent similar accidents.

Garner, now wrestling as “Cham-Pain,” continues his in-ring career, while Levesque’s adjustments to the Pedigree have proven effective in preventing further mishaps. With a storied career that includes multiple world championships, Levesque’s legacy in wrestling remains intact, thanks to his dedication to safety and innovation in the ring.
