10 Examples Of Triple H Being Ridiculously Selfish At WrestleMania

6. The WrestleMania 2000 Main Event Mess

The main event of WrestleMania 2000 was a mess; it featured four Superstars, including one that Triple H had allegedly forced into retirement, and four members of the McMahon family. In all honesty, this match felt more like a rivalry between them than the wrestlers involved. This is one match where Triple H was once again made to look weak through the need for outside interference. Maybe it€™s just this author disliking outside interference in important matches (given that this article is being written during a time where outside interference and disqualification finishes happen all the time), but Triple H did not need help from Vince McMahon or anyone else to defeat the Rock. This match would€™ve been perfect if it had been a simple one-one-one match between the Rock and Triple H or a triple threat also involving Cactus Jack (retirement ret-conned), due to that feud being awesome. Once again, though, Triple H€™s opponent would score the big win at the first PPV after WrestleMania. There€™s a trend here: Triple H needs to win at Mania, but he€™s OK with losing on a lesser, secondary PPV. That€™s the kind of selfish thinking that really hurts the careers of those involved, especially when Triple H is willing to mess around with Mania matches when it€™s the most important PPV of the year.
