Pretty much anybody reading this list must have figured Triple H would show up at some point, because the sheer wealth of stories surrounding his ego have been doing the rounds on the internet for many years. The online community has always been somewhat of a problem for 'The Game', who has remarked on several occasions that he doesn't care what fans bashing away on keyboards think.

Criticising the very people who tune in to watch him wrestle is one thing, but there was a story several years ago in an issue of the old UK wrestling magazine, Powerslam, that had people talking about the man's tempestuous nature and abuse of his powerful stature in WWE.

One former WWE creative team member said during an interview with the wrestling monthly that one of his jobs in the company was to take scripts for Monday Night Raw to HHH's dressing room. According to this writer, it wasn't uncommon for the grappler to skip through it, all the while asking, 'Am I going over?'.

If the answer was no, Triple H would then supposedly rip the paper up and ask for a re-write. It's always easy to doubt the words of bitter ex-employees over what happens backstage, but if HHH had wanted to act this way, he could have.
