11 Most Important Wrestlers Of The Ruthless Aggression Era

Many people criticise Triple H for being overly-political and burying up and coming talent during this period of time. It was in 2003 when Triple H married Stephanie McMahon, and it was during this time when The Game was the unshakeable top superstar of Raw.

However, heels should prosper to create a desire from the fans for him to be overthrown. While it would have been nice to have seen Triple H lose to Booker T at WrestleMania XIX, it led to Benoit’s title victory a year later being that much sweeter.

Not only that, but the King of Kings helped elevate the likes of Randy Orton and Batista while keeping Ric Flair current and near the top during their time in Evolution.

Triple H cleverly realised that he would never reach the heights of Rock and Austin as a babyface, and so presented himself as one of the most despised wrestlers of all time. Sure, he may have been a little bit selfish looking back, but when he did pass the torch, it made it all the more important.
