When Triple H rose out of the stage before his WrestleMania 22 main event with John Cena, he was a sight to behold. Sitting in a giant throne, adorned with furs, wearing a crown, and brandishing a giant sledgehammer, "The Game" was clearly taking a page from one of the best-known action films of the early 1980s. Granted, the Poland Spring bottle was a little out of place, but it certainly didn't make HHH any less intimidating as he came to the ring, ready to conquer his opponent.

Unfortunately for Triple H, he would fall victim to Cena that night, tapping out to the STFU and proving that there was a new number one star in WWE. Still, HHH's outfit remains a high point of the match and the event, and was the first of many ornate costumes he would wear to the ring at the show of shows.
