10 Times Triple H Was Actually As Good As He Said He Was
1. W/ Stephanie McMahon Vs Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's sh*tkicking from Kurt Angle and especially Ronda Rousey was a Year 2000 'Cerebral Assassin' star-maker brought forth into the future for the good of one of the best single year runs in company history.
Wearing a physique that mirrored his prime period, Hunter appeared motivated by the effort to make the 'Rowdy' UFC crossover star feel like a larger than life Sports Entertainment megas and unbelievably at ease in her brand new profession.
It was a performance that paid tribute to the best version of himself and an NXT he'd shaped in his new life as Developmental doyen. At one point, he grabbed Stephanie McMahon's hand to stop a submission in tribute to The Revival's futile effort at TakeOver: Toronto. He would have earned Sami Zayn levels of sympathy selling Rousey's incredible corner punches had he not been such a sh*thouse first - his deft selling of desperation and gradual decay was important in getting across her dominance.
It stole the show, the year and for some, the decade. It was a Sports Entertainment masterpiece from a man that hadn't painted them on the reg for 18 years.
