9. Triple H's Road To WrestleMania

A piece of extreme vanity, Triple H's Road To WrestleMania never really arrived at a reason to be beyond helping 'The Game' keep his diary in check and his public persona well-maintained. In spite of intent, it was still an utterly fascinating representation of life in the shoes, trainers and boots of the heir apparent.

Skulling coffee and small-talk sessions, Hunter was shot from behind for much of the piece as viewers were given something akin to his perspective of the various corridors he was forced to traverse. Articulate, engaging and warm, Hunter looked as fit-for-purpose as usual, even if it steered away from positioning him as the top level executive he now has to be.

This - much like everything he’s ever done as part of NXT, or most public engagements - serves as a promotional aid to the narrative that he’s the Jekyll to Vince McMahon’s hyde, but highlights the lifestyle that makes the monster out of a man. His schedule is relentless, and though he’s reaped countless rewards (with even greater ones to follow) he’ll clearly never be given permission to scale it back - heavy is the head that wears the throne and every other f*cking hat.
