Triple H may have shorn his trademark locks, but the iconic wrestler is a fan of another long-haired sports star.
The WWE favourite professed his unlikely support for West Ham United, and specifically their England international striker Andy Carroll.
With the tour coming to London for WWE NXT, Triple H praised the enthusiasm of the Hammers’ fanbase in an interview with ITV.
“West Ham is probably the closest to what we do – the passion of their fanbase and their loyalty,” he said.
And he singled out Carroll as a player with potential to make it in wrestling, for his unique style amongst other characteristics.
“He could be interesting,” the 46-year-old said.
“He is tall, likes to play it tough with the opposition and has the right looks with the long hair.”
