00:05The Cerebral Assassin knows his craft unlike any other, and concocted quite the unique finisher.
00:13Time to play the game.
00:19Time to play the game.
00:22The Pedigree is one of my all-time favorite finishing maneuvers,
00:25because when Triple H beat his opponent with the Pedigree, he humiliated him.
00:30Think about the dynamics of the maneuver.
00:32Triple H would grab his opponent's arms, hook him behind him.
00:34Your head is trapped between these massive tree-trunk-like quads.
00:38When he locks his hands, you're so strong, you're in a vice.
00:41You can't brace for that at all.
00:43Now you're helpless, and so the next thing you know, you eat the canvas.
00:48Even in the beginnings, Hunter Hearst Helmsley,
00:50I remember when he won the King of the Ring the first time,
00:53the Pedigree gave to mankind on the table.
00:56Pedigree! Pedigree!
01:00That's awesome.
01:02As a guy who took the Pedigree, you knew that there was the chance of being badly hurt
01:07if things didn't go well for you.
01:08You combine that with about 10,000 thumbtacks,
01:11and it made for an even more devastating finishing move.
01:15Oh, no!
01:15Not the tacks!
01:16He did!
01:17The Pedigree on the Thumbtacks!
01:21That's it!
01:23My God!
01:24My God, it's over!
01:27Pedigree's a finishing maneuver that's won a lot of matches
01:29and molded an unbelievable superstar on Triple H.
01:33Ain't nobody!
01:33He's gonna get up from the Pedigree!
01:36I have beaten them all!
01:39I am the game!
01:41I am the best in this business!
01:44The first time I saw Triple H do the Pedigree,
01:47the guy looked like he landed right on his head.
01:50And as soon as I saw it, I was like,
01:51oh my gosh, that's a hell of a move.
01:53High impact Pedigree by Hunter Hearst Helmsley!
01:58Nobody gets up after that.
01:59And over the years, he got so much better at it.
02:02Even before, great opponents knew it was coming,
02:04and they still couldn't defend it.
02:06That's a mark of a great finishing maneuver.
02:08It was a great finishing maneuver,
02:10and it made the game look great!
