8 Geniuses Who Were Secretly Behind Famous Wrestling Ideas

5. Elimination Chamber: Triple H

If Hell in a Cell is The Undertaker's match, then the Elimination Chamber is Triple H's. The Game has competed in no fewer than six of them over the course of his career - more than any of his contemporaries - and he's also won some four, eliminating seven opponents en route.

What's more, he even invented the match concept way back in 2002 (which means Eric Bischoff, who took the credit on-screen when he unveiled the structure ahead of Survivor Series, was nothing but a dirty fibber).

"I drew a square cage and put four other squares in the corners," HHH later recalled for a piece on the WWE website. "It's six guys. Two start and every few minutes, another cage opens and one more guys enters the fight, and everyone fights until there's one guy left."

Genius - and that's why he's the man who stands to take over the McMahon empire when Vince calls it quits
