WATCH: Triple H loses it after Goldberg is named the greatest WWE Superstar of all time above the Rock, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan

Triple H is the current CCO in WWE and he had a lot to say when Goldberg was named the greatest wrestler of all time by a personality. He was placed above the likes of The Rock, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, among others.

Stephen A Smith has become more involved in the wrestling world since the shift of WWE to ESPN. Ahead of Wrestlepalooza, Triple H was at ESPN's First Take, where he spoke about Stephen A Smith's ranking of the five greatest wrestlers of all time.

Smith ranked the Road Warriors at No. 5, The Rock at No. 4., Hulk Hogan at No. 3, Ric Flair at No. 2, and then in a twist, Goldberg at No. 1. This was called out by Triple H, who said that Smith was doing this for the shock value, and went on a tirade to explain how the personality wanted to anger people.

"So let me break this down for you. What he does for a profession is p**s people off right? So what he did is he bait-switched it. He set up a list that is arguably accurate. Road Warriors, the Rock, Hogan, Flair... he left out a few because it's just the top five. But then, what he does is, he Stephen As it and goes, Goldberg at No. 1. Because he knows that is the name that is going to p**s off maximum amount of people, that of all time, putting Goldberg at No. 1. And I'm not going to say he's not great, I love Bill, I think he's a great performer, had great moments in this business, but putting him at one, come on!"

Triple H helped Goldberg end his career earlier this year

Triple H, as the booker of WWE, was the one in charge of helping bring an end to Goldberg's career. He gave him the long-awaited retirement match he wanted, and it was against Gunther.

Goldberg lost, but unfortunately, thanks to time running out, his retirement celebration was then cut short, something that the legendary star was not too happy about, as the show went off the air too early.
