The Many Faces Of Triple H - Ranked From Worst To Best
5. DX Sidekick
In 1997, Hunter finally got rid of his ridiculous aristocrat gimmick and along with Chyna and Rick Rude, joined forces to create D-Generation X. While they were set up to play heels battling the likes of Mankind, The Undertaker and Bret Hart, their anti-establishment ways caught on with a large portion of the fanbase.
Hunter was able to start showing more of his actual personality, and established himself as an upper-midcard act with a big upside. Despite playing a supporting role to Michaels, he got over in his own right with his “Let’s get ready to suck it!” catchphrase and relationship with Chyna.
This was a pivotal time in his career, as with the Attitude Era coming on in full-force, Hunter would have been sunk if he was still forced to play his own act. While management wanted to keep the remaining Kliq members apart on-air, they did the wise thing and paired up the duo because of their natural chemistry and it paid off tremendously.
