10 Greatest WWE Champions Ever
9. Triple H
Reviewing his entire career on balance, Triple H is literally half as good as he says he is. It's his own fault - he never stops talking. Stone Cold Steve Austin wasn't given a single line to put himself over on Raw 25, yet 'The Game' gobbled up the entire final segment. Kurt Angle and Mick Foley are boxed in by authority figure roles, whilst Hunter once used his to bury Edge and Chris Jericho whilst ranking Daniel Bryan as a level below him.
He went from the gutter to the stars and back again as Champion, coasting on creative freedom few others were afforded. Bottled, Triple H's 2000-2001 stint atop the organisation is amongst the very finest in company history. His 2002-2005 run is perhaps the very, very worst.
One of the biggest advocates of "the wrestler makes the title, not the other way around" and "the best gimmicks are real life personalities turned up to 11", his gimmick during that time was of an insecure man possessed with holding gold. He'd yet again said it all.
