10 Times Triple H’s Ego Ran Wild In WWE

10. Video Game Vanity

The fragility of Triple H's ego extends beyond the physical realm and into the digital, as became apparent in the summer of 2008.

With two new single-player modes in Career and Road to WrestleMania, plus the debut of Create-a-Finisher, the SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 game should have been an easy sell. Yet WWE still handed publishers THQ strict instructions on how it should be marketed, extending to the states that various wrestlers could and couldn't be shown in.

The publishers were ordered not to distribute any footage or stills that presented Triple H in (or close to) a state of defeat. That included all materials showing 'The Game' getting beaten up or pinned, as he was WWE Champion at the time, and didn't want to be shown in such a light. It isn't just baseless gossip, either: several UK-based wrestling magazines reported the story at the time, as they themselves were told not to show Triple H in anything other than complete control of his digital opponent.

A petty move, and one that shows that the Triple H of 2008's vanity knew no limits - even in a digital world.
