The Many Faces Of Triple H - Ranked From Worst To Best

10. Terra Ryzing

Ouch. Terra Ryzing. Terrorizing! What was he thinking?

The name largely came from Killer Kowalski, though Hunter tweaked it to be a bit more realistic. He didn’t quite succeed at that. Ryzing wasn’t very long for this wrestling world. He was a pretty generic bad guy on the roster who had incredibly long, blonde hair. He was another soon to be famous guy that WCW let go in the early ‘90s (Kane, Undertaker, Austin and Edge also served various amounts of time there).

Very few wrestlers ever take to the first gimmick they’re given (again, just look how many formations The Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker and Steve Austin went through before finding success), and Hunter was no different. The only thing really notable about him at the time was the silly name, the fact that he used an Indian Death Lock as his finisher, and well, the purple robe. It was just some growing pains he was going through, though his next gimmick wasn’t much better.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
