10 Secret Hidden Weaknesses Of Your Favourite Wrestlers
5. Triple H - His Massive Muscles
Triple H was a bigger star than The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mick Foley in the Attitude Era.
Only literally, you understand. He was a bigger star than the men he likes to consider his contemporaries, because at some point he realised that the best way to get in the mix and stay there was indulge his bodybuilding enthusiasm and put muscles on top of muscles like many of the men his future Father-In-Law had pushed in the past.
It worked a treat, and between 2000-2001, coincided with him reaching his brief peak as the best all-rounder in the entire industry. The bulging biceps set him apart from the rest and his old self, but a torn quad in 2001 meant his upper body got extra attention during the gruelling rehab. His iconic 2002 return was an incredible moment, but the time off and an inflated top half seemed to have replaced the small matter of actual good matches.
Those same muscles didn't get in the way of the Reign Of Terror between 2002-2005, but did hijack what would have been his fourth WrestleMania match in a row in 2007. Tearing his quad for the second time at New Year's Revolution, the January departure ruled him out until SummerSlam, with a victory over Cena in singles competition eluding him until a random and largely forgotten Monday Night Raw in 2009.
