Perhaps no other relic of the Attitude Era has divided the fans as much as Hunter Hearst Helmsley. While some argue that he's as legitimate and accomplished a champion as the WWE's ever had, others would be quick to point out that he's a brown-nosing, selfish, mediocre performer whose favorite pastime is using his backstage credentials to hold other wrestlers down.

And while his legacy will forever remain buried somewhere between those two viewpoints - as verified by his frequent Feud of the Year and Match of the Year accolades as well as his nominations for Worst/Most Hated Wrestler - it's hard to combat the stats. 14-time World Champion. five-time IC Champion. three-time Tag Champion. King of the Ring, Royal Rumble winner, and a shoe-in for the WWE Hall of Fame.

Most importantly, though, Triple H has been a much bigger draw as champion than most people give him credit for. According to Dave Meltzer, Trips easily out-drew guys like Bret Hart in his heyday and was a solid Number 3 behind Stone Cold and The Rock. Hell, the guy even set records for house show attendance as the star of the show.

Whatever else Triple H does from this point forward to "soil" his legacy, no one can take away the significant impact he had on the company, especially in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras.
