http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQD24h9AZEs How could one of WWE's most hated Superstars become even more hated? By trading in his ring gear for a business suit, of course. When WWE decided to use Triple H on TV in an authoritative role back in 2011, the timing could not have been better. Vince was stepping back from the weekly programs, CM Punk was becoming the company's top antihero and the vibe among fans was that a new day was dawning. The only man to put into this role was The Game. He became the bridge from the past to the future, the one to replace Vince as WWE's corporate heel. He had the connection to old school fans yet had respect from younger fans, which made him a very well rounded authority figure. Triple H was smart enough to know that to continue being a relevant character and to still help drive the company from a financial standpoint, that he would have to change. And by changing, he guaranteed that he would still have the ability to draw great heat from the WWE crowds yet still remain somewhat virtually unscathed physically. The Game fits right into today's WWE and the reason for that is because he reinvented himself. He can still cut a promo with the best of them and he can still cause a stir when he wants to. This may be a different kind of Cerebral Assassin than we're used to seeing, but he is just as deadly. And twice as smart.
