10 Most Poisonous Backstage Influences In WWE History

By Jamie Kennedy /

1. Triple H

Paul Levesque himself has even made mention of the fact that many 'internet wrestling fans' greatly dislike him. A lot of these fans feel that Triple H has knowingly buried a ton of talent, all to serve his own selfish needs. It's hard to argue with the idea of 'The Game' holding down the likes of Rob Van Dam and Booker T during his World Heavyweight Title run of 2002-2003. In addition to those names, people have added the likes of CM Punk, Goldberg, Scott Steiner, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton and even Sting to the list. For his part, Sting has refuted those claims, adding that he really wanted to work with Triple H upon joining WWE. This doesn't seem to be enough for grappling enthusiasts, who are sure that HHH routinely served his own needs during his full-time wrestling career. During an interview with the now-defunct PowerSlam wrestling magazine in the UK, a former WWE writer said it wasn't uncommon for Triple H to tear up Raw scripts if he found out he wasn't going over that night. If he wasn't, the entire thing needed re-written. There are those excited to see where WWE may go under the guidance of the man, but others aren't so keen for Triple H to take over the entire company outright. What other WWE stars would you consider to have been poisonous at some point during their careers? Do you agree with the choices listed here? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section!
