10 Times Triple H’s Ego Ran Wild In WWE

1. Refusing To Lose

Though far from the first wrestler to ever refuse to lose to an opponent, if there's truth to the rumours, Triple H is a repeat offender who has used his clout to turn his nose up at more losses than even WWE's most notorious politicians.

Much of the stories come from Hunter's 'Reign Of Terror.' From 2002 to 2004, he was Raw's undisputed top man, whether he had the World Heavyweight Championship or not. Even when he didn't have the gold, Triple H was never far away, and from Booker T at WrestleMania XIX to Goldberg in 2003, countless wrestlers fell by his hand along the way.

Pinning Goldberg was particularly problematic, as it effectively ended any chance the former WCW Champion had of repeating his success in Ted Turner's promotion under Vince McMahon. Bill would later point the finger at Triple H, calling out the boss' son-in-law for refusing to put him over inside the Elimination Chamber, and while Goldberg would eventually overturn Hunter, the damage was done.

While Triple H isn't afraid to do the job in 2018, this hasn't always been the case. Goldberg, Punk, Scott Steiner, Rob Van Dam: they've all accused him of pulling strings - even if their words should be taken with a dose of cynicism.
