10 Times Wrestlers Had Incredibly Fragile Egos

10. Triple H Is Too Hot To Cheat On

The Triple H/Kurt Angle/Stephanie McMahon love triangle took the most lame hack criticism of pro wrestling - "Oh, it's just a dumb soap opera for men" - and with a confident flex said "What of it?"

Compelling and penned with a genuinely witty flair by then Head Writer Chris Kreski, Steph was thrust into Kurt's arms throughout a sequence of inspired misunderstandings as fans were asked to wonder where her affections lay.

Now, Kurt Angle is what you would call a classically handsome man. He's not quite the brooding heartthrob figure you'd drool and lose sleep over - he was a bit dorky and clean-cut before he shaved his head and went f*cking mental - but as square-jawed boy-next-door types go, Angle, with his great physique and strong bone structure, was certainly a man worth at least one regrettable shag. Triple H was the bad boy in this scenario, which we knew not because his eyes glowed with a mysterious intensity, but because he wore denim. He wasn't ugly, exactly.

High cheekbones and a hulking body were among his attributes. But he wasn't Robert Redford either, and he had a massive hooter. Using his growing creative influence, Triple H allegedly pumped the brakes on a storyline that was resolved with an anti-climax because he reckoned people wouldn't "buy" Angle as his love rival.

"And you do know what they say about guys with big noses," Triple H winked, to further build his claim.

"They've got huge cocks-uh!" he roared, just in case they didn't hear it.
