15 Most Ridiculous WWE Action Figures Released In 2014
6. Triple H Pop! Vinyl Figure
One of the big gripes with the current product is how WWE loves to break kayfabe with their heel authority figures. On the one show you are supposed to jeer Triple H and Stephanie, but they will then cut to a promotional sequence where the two are front and centre supporting some charity campaign and the images completely clash. Now this is not to suggest WWE stops doing charity work AT ALL (well with the exception of Susan G Komen which is just a giant pink scam). Rather itd just make the suspension of disbelief a whole lot easier if there werent mixed messages on the same show within ten minutes of each other. Similarly, heel authority figures in cutesy form like this just dont work. Triple H is supposed to be the cerebral assassin who uses a sledge hammer to destroy his opponents not a Garfield toy stuck to the window of a minivan. Its hard to take him seriously as a real threat to the babyfaces on the roster when WWE are shilling this quite frankly adorable vision of him to their fan base at the same time. Look at those big eyes! Theyre so sweet!
