Triple H

MY THOUGHTS:
 
"Time to play da Game!"  Hunter, starting off as a mid-carder at best, shines now as a multi-time heavyweight champ for the WWE.  An incredible comeback from a very painful injury, Triple H has proven to be one of the toughest wrestlers ever in the sport!  D-X put him on the map, and he has never looked back since!  Believable as a face or a heel, Hunter may become a true legend before everything is said and done!
