Triple H, provided he didn't take 20 minutes, was bloody good at drawing heat in 2002. He then used it to incinerate the prospects of his opponents, ruining the whole bloody idea, but he was detestable enough.

Ahead of his arm wrestling match with Scott Steiner, a match, incidentally, that featured almost as many pro holds as their interminable Royal Rumble disaster, Trips accused Steiner of picking his spots, which, f*ck off. Steiner in response grabbed the microphone from his hand. In a neat bit of physical storytelling, Triple H tried to do the same thing - only to fail, as Steiner barely flexed, setting up the mano e mano showdown.

Triple H grunted, constipated, as he tried to take down Steiner's right twin peak. He looked like a complete goon, but hey, it worked. He was close to winning - until Steiner revealed that he wasn't even trying. Cue some marvellous drowning-selling on Triple H's part before the lightning-quick hammer-down finish.

Scott Steiner Vs. Triple H was a d*ck-measuring contest, onscreen and off.

Onscreen, this manifested as choice, suitably Over The Top 1980s-style oneupmanship.

Offscreen, Triple H just had to prove how big his d*ck was by exposing Steiner in two lengthy, super-sh*tty matches.

Scott Steiner was one of the best badass wrestlers of the 1990s. This was such bullsh*t, and it's telling that the best moment of the entire programme saw Triple H show some ass.
