10 Best World Champions Of The WWE Attitude Era
3. Triple H
After playing second fiddle to the aforementioned 'Heartbreak Kid' during those early days of "Attitude", Shawn Michael's sudden retirement ultimately led to Triple H being given the opportunity to spread his wings as a main event talent.
And over the course of this five-year period of audaciousness, 'The Game' would actually lift World Championship gold on five different occasions.
The first hilariously came to an end 24-days after he wrestled it away from Mankind, with eventual father-in-law Vince McMahon beating Trips for the gold on SmackDown in 1999 thanks to some 'Stone Cold' assistance.
His subsequent reigns then saw him cling on to his title in matches against The Rock and Steve Austin, with 2000 sitting as perhaps the strongest year of 'The Cerebral Assassin's career as the relentless heel cemented himself as one of WWE's latest bona fide top names in his wars with Cactus Jack in particular.
Trips also ended up walking out of not one, but two Attitude Era WrestleManias as the top champ.
Simply put, by the time this era was over, 'The Game' had already completed it twice over.
