25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History

22. Triple H

Triple H would be an awful lot higher in this list if he hadn’t committed five years of his career to an ego trip so wide and ranging that it turned the entire flagship into a virtually unwatchable vanity project every time he was on screen.

Between his 2002 return from a quad injury right up to the point the same exact muscle on his other leg tore off the bone again in January 2007, ‘The Game’ wasn't much fun for any of the other players. From being awarded the World Title just because, to racially abusing Booker T and being almost as offensive to any other midcarder that sniffed around his precious prize, Hunter’s insecurities were as up front as the n*b gags he made back when he was in D-Generation-X and actually still a welcome presence.

A semi-regular presence for nearly all of the 25 years Raw’s been on the air, its a great shame his dirt worst stint undermined a choice selection of matches and moments that contributed much to the legacy of the show and company at large.
