10 Things Triple H Doesn't Get Enough Credit For
9. Jobbing Perfectly To The Ultimate Warrior
1996 was a strange year for Triple H; then known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley and nowhere near the top of WWE's food chain, the future World Champion was a bit-part mid carder who was only on the WrestleMania XII lineup to help usher in the return of The Ultimate Warrior to his home promotion.
There was no threat of a back-and-forth bout between Warrior and Hunter on March 31, 1996, because the Ultimate one had decided he was going over in a rudimentary squash.
It shouldn't be ignored that such an outcome wouldn't have been possible without Triple H playing ball; in order for Warrior's big comeback to work, someone had to bounce around the ring willingly for him, and that man was Hunter.
What happened next (namely, the failure of Warrior's return) cannot be pinned on Triple H. At 'Mania, he did everything in his power to make Warrior look like a force to be reckoned with, and that merits more praise than some have been willing to give.
