With over three decades in the business, Triple H has become one of the most respected individuals in the pro-wrestling industry. The Game has commanded the respect of his peers with his incredible work ethic and his commitment toward WWE throughout the years.
RELATED: The 5 Best Triple H Storylines (& The 5 Worst)His involvement in transforming NXT into a third brand of WWE while preparing future WWE Superstars has also gained him high praises from everyone. The Game has made countless friends throughout his time in the business, but he also had some troubled relationships with certain individuals as well. Not everyone has been on his good side.
10 Hated - The Miz
The Miz wasn't a very friendly name among the other superstars on the roster during his early days with WWE. He reportedly got banned from the locker room after he got caught eating fried chicken over the gym bag of another performer.
However, it appears that The A-Lister had also landed on the wrong side of Triple H, as the latter had made some untasteful comments about him in various interviews. The Miz has overcome all the negativity and has apparently changed his reputation on the roster over the years, and also mended his relationship with Triple H.
9 Loved - Sheamus
Sheamus has always had a favorable relationship with Triple H right from the start of his career. The Celtic Warrior had also reportedly gained heat from his FCW colleagues over his dominant booking on the main roster, as most felt that he was receiving special treatment because of his friendship with Triple H.
The Game also never hesitated to put Sheamus over during their rivalry, and had even received a beat down at the hands of The Celtic Warrior to get written off WWE television for ten months to heal from injuries.
8 Hated - Goldberg
Triple H had a dislike for Goldberg even before he made his WWE. He made constant insulting comments about the WCW legend during the Monday Night War.

Goldberg even claimed that Triple H tried to hurt his career by sabotaging his character and was quite vocal in expressing his dislike for The Game, even after his exit from the promotion.
However, things appear to be smooth between the two superstars after Goldberg's return to WWE in 2016, and with Triple H focusing mostly on backstage business, there haven't been any altercations between the two so far.
7 Loved - William Regal
Triple H's friendship with William Regal dates back even before their time together running NXT, as Regal was one of the groomsmen at Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's wedding.
Regal and Triple H have known each other since their WCW days, and the friendship continued after they jumped ship to WWE. It is evident that The Game trusts William Regal to the point where he made him his close associate in running things in NXT, setting up the WWE Performance Center, and scouting talent for the promotion.
6 Hated - Shane McMahon
Every wrestling fan would know that Triple H does not have a very friendly relationship with his brother-in-law, Shane McMahon. Their rift stemmed from an argument over who would take over WWE after Vince McMahon, and once it became apparent that Triple H and Stephanie would be the ones to take charge, Shane quietly left the promotion in 2009.
However, it appears that things might be much more favorable than before betwee the two since Shane McMahon returned to WWE in 2016, but that doesn't mean they have become very close.
5 Loved - Ric Flair
Ric Flair was one of Triple H's mentors during his prime days in the business, and their relationship soon transformed into a beautiful friendship.
Ric Flair is one of the biggest factors when we look back at Triple H's career as The Nature Boy played a major role in The Game's heel run from 2002 as a part of the Evolution faction. The Game also never shied away from mentioning the depth of his friendship with Ric Flair on both WWE television and outside interviews, and they still remain good friends to this day.
4 Hated - Chris Jericho
Triple H had some personal animosity with Chris Jericho right from the moment Y2J made his WWE debut. The Game targetted Jericho with some insulting segments along with his D-Generation X partners.

Their real-life animosity helped to make their on-screen rivalry look more realistic. But the two superstars have made peace with each other as they have matured over the years and are now good friends. Jericho revealed in an interview that he doesn't know why they hated each other at first and claimed it as a mere professional rivalry.
3 Loved - Shawn Michaels
This one's a no-brainer as Shawn Michaels is one of Triple H's closest friends. Their friendship transcends professional wrestling as they became best friends in real-life. It was Shawn Michaels that gave The Game his infamous moniker, as HBK was the first one to call him as Triple H.
The two superstars have been allies and fierce rivals throughout their WWE careers, but they never let their on-screen storylines affect their real-life friendship. They are still very close and are working together in NXT to scout and train new talent.
2 Hated - The Rock
While some people say this hatred is because of Triple H's jealousy over The Rock's success in WWE and Hollywood, it appears that the real reason is a simple workplace rivalry.
WWE pushed both Triple H and The Rock equally during their time as active in-ring performers. Since both superstars were young and trying to make a name for themselves, their on-screen rivalry turned into a harmless workplace competition.
Bret Hart once revealed in an interview that Triple H even tried to use Shawn Michaels' backstage influence to hurt The Rock's career. But from what it looks like, the two have no animosity between them these days as they are quite busy in their respective fields and have mutual respect.
1 Loved - Randy Orton
Triple H took Randy Orton under his wing as his protege and during their time together in Evolution. The Game didn't hesitate when it came to putting Orton over, which is one of the reasons behind Orton becoming The Legend Killer we know today.
Their real-life friendship made them comfortable to take huge leaps during their on-screen rivalry. It allowed them to work together and produce iconic moments such as Orton attacking Stephanie McMahon and Triple H invading Orton's house. They have had various high-profile matches throughout the years.
