Top 10 Triple H Moments

BOW DOWN TO THE, BOW DOWN TO THE KING! It's time to play the game with today's list which features Triple H and his top 10 moments! 
10) The Authority - Face it, no matter what role Triple H plays be it good guy or bad guy he plays them both well. Authority HHH is possibly the most hated version of The Game but i could be wrong. This run lasted 3 years and all started when Trips screwed Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013. Lead by power couple Steph and Triple H, "The Man" Seth Rollins, "Director Of Operations" Corporate Kane and Randy Orton, they were also joined later by a returning "Animal" Batista. They set out to make Bryan's life hell and anyone else who stood in their way. 

9) Return Of DX - Reforming back in 2006 but only starring Triple H and Shawn Micheal's the duo enjoyed a hell of a return to top form dominating the company in and out of the ring. Their feuds and comedic humour got them to gold and cemented the team in wwe history yet again.   

8) EVOLUTION - Evolution is a mystery, full of change no one see's, as the song goes. This villainous stable has the likes of HHH, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista all world champions. The group dominated whenever they were around both as 4 man team and a 3 man team later on. Evolution's devolution was so fun and exciting to watch and it started so many more good moments for everyone involved. 

7) First WWE Championship Win - It was this moment which made Triple H reach the top of the business. Took him years to do it and he would have done it sooner if it was not for a little friendly hug among friends which wwe did not like and so they sent Triple H back to the stone age career wise but he fought on and it all defined him in the end boosting his career. One night after SummerSlam, Triple H defeated Mankind for his first-ever reign as WWE Champion. 

6) HHH Betrays HBK - The best friendship in the WWE for years between Triple H and HBK was so great so imagine how it was and how it felt to see their friendship get ripped apart, pedigree'd and bashed with a sledgehammer. Triple H betrayed his friend on the July 29th, 2002 edition of RAW when he smashed Michael's’ face through a car window.  He said he did this to prove that Michael's was “weak” and that his coming back to the WWE was a mistake. This proved to the WWE Universe that Triple H was indeed “The Cerebral Assassin.” and their feud would go on to be one of the best in history. 

5) The Two Man Power Trip - Triple H is a hard man to trust but when you can trust him well you have got a serious dominant guy on your side and you are about to form a badass tough as nails team just like this one. On April 2nd, 2001, Triple H interfered in the main event Steel Cage Match between new WWE Champion Steve Austin and The Rock. It seemed on the surface that he was going to turn on Austin, but Triple H stunned the wrestling world by aiding Austin in the double team against The Rock. “The Two Man Power Trip” was born.  In the subsequent months, Austin and Triple H captured all the major titles in the WWE and were one of the most dominant tag teams in history.

4) Undisputed Game - After almost an entire year on the shelf due to injury, Triple H showed no ring rust when he returned to the WWE.  “The King of Kings” defeated and dethroned then-champion Chris Jericho for the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania XVIII, the grandest stage of them all. This is a moment that many wrestling fans remember as one of Triple H’s finest.

3) Return After Injury - So about the last one this return was amazing the pop everything about it just wow. May 21st, 2001, Triple H had suffered a career-threatening injury, and many wrestling fans thought it would have been his last match.  In the main event, it was Triple H and Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit for the WWE Tag Team Championship.  Triple H attempted to help his tag team partner when he suffered the injury. Eight long months passed, and Triple H came back to WWE RAW on January 7th, 2002.  Sporting a leather jacket, denim vest and jeans, Triple H headed for the ring and was greeted by tens of thousands of screaming fans at the home of the WWE: Madison Square Garden.  It had been a long wait, but Triple H had returned to the WWE to pick up where he left off in his legendary career.

2) The Formation Of DX - Triple H was on the fast track to becoming a household name in the WWE.  With the help of Shawn Michaels, he formed one of the most controversial stables of all time: Degeneration X. Triple H, along with Chyna, appeared at the end of the main event of RAW is WAR on August 11th, 1997 to aid Shawn Michaels in taking out Mankind.  DX had arrived in the WWE, thanks in part to Triple H. After the night after WrestleMania XIV, Shawn Michaels had been defeated by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and a new era for the “Texas Rattlesnake” was just beginning. Triple H stated to the WWE Universe that Michaels had “dropped the ball” and essentially kicked him out of DX forever. Triple H became the new leader of DX.  He brought former WCW Superstar Sean “X-Pac” Waltman and the New Age Outlaws into the ranks of DX.  This would indeed be a brighter day for DX, and Triple H was captain of this new ship.

1) Becoming A King - Triple H has had so many amazing moments and matches and so it was tough to put a number to these and make a list of my 10 fave moments but here we are at number one. When Triple H was known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, he was a mid-card wrestler that had been in some less-than-stellar feuds.  But all that was forgotten when he won the 1997 King of the Ring Tournament, defeating Mankind in the finals. For Triple H, having a King of the Ring win under his belt made him instant championship material, and he was on his way to proving that in the WWE. This was the start of everything for HHH.

Thanks for popping in today, now go on and move along you degenerate and evolve to become a king!

Top 10 WWE Tag Team Champions

Grab your partner and tag em in because today's list see's us looking at the top 10 WWE tag team champions!

All tag titles under the wwe name are on display here and i will be picking a bunch not all from same era's. I will also not be including teams with the same members in. SO for example DX so if HBK HHH or any of the past members of DX have won tag titles with different partners it wont be on the list sorry.

10) The Brothers Of Destruction
Yep at number 10 falls one of my fave teams the most destructive team on this list maybe is The Undertaker & Kane, THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION! They should have had more reigns and days that they held the titles but they were meant for better bigger titles. The Deadman and The Devil’s Favourite Demon captured three separate tag team titles, and were also the team to unify the WWE and WCW Tag Team Championships, devouring DDP and Kanyon at SummerSlam 2001 inside of a steel cage.

9) Demolition
HERE COMES THE AX AND HERE COMES THE SMASH! I'll be honest i never seen them wrestle much but i got respect for them for their reign being one of the longest in history. Dressed for pure brutality with spiked ring gear and outrageous face paint, the intimidating duo captured the World Tag Team Championships a total of three times — including the single longest tag title reign in WWE history of more than 470 days. Although they were dismissed early as clones of The Road Warriors, the brutes from Parts Unknown made their reputation of pure destruction against elite combination that included The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, The British Bulldogs and The Brain Busters.

8) Rock N Sock Connection
One of the most electrifying teams on the list comes the unlikely weird pairing of THE ROCK and.....Sock? I mean Mankind/Foley the pair had 3 reigns as tag champs but each did not last long sadly but they were highly entertaining and for being entertaining, fun, funny and overall great wrestlers is why they are on my list. Yes there's so many teams that deserve to be on my list i am only limited to 10 so this is all my 10. 

7) DX
ARE YOU READY? I SAID ARE YOU READY!!!?? Here they are i'd say the DX crew are the most entertaining on my list be it under the stable of many or the team of few they dominated gloriously with entertaining antics to boot and with feuds that were gripping to watch. Spanning 13 years, D-Generation X was the brainchild of two best friends, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. In 1997, HBK and The Game brought their backstage friendship in front of the cameras, and the world of sports-entertainment changed forever. DX’s brand of sophomoric humor was a cornerstone of the Attitude Era, and their influence beyond the ring became clear when Mike Tyson was recruited for their group. After eight years apart, the band got back together in 2006. As former multi-time WWE Champions, DX was more powerful than ever, and brandished their logo on the WWE headquarters in Connecticut and on Mr. McMahon’s corporate jet. They returned tag team wrestling to the main event spotlight, dominating pairs including the McMahons, Rated-RKO and Legacy. In 2009, Michaels and Triple H won their first WWE Tag Team Championships together. But D-Generation X wasn’t about the gold — it was about two pals having a blast, dominating competition and revolutionizing entertainment but when they were with New Age Outlaws under their wings they did win more gold but it was just between ASS MAN Billy Gun and the Road Dogg Jesse James. 

6) London & Kendrick
These guys were phenomenal before the phenomenal one joined the WWE. It's a shame they spilt. WWE’s tag team division has often been dominated by powerhouse teams like Legion of Doom, The Natural Disasters, Kane and Big Show and other monstrous Superstars who piled up championship reigns. Paul London and Brian Kendrick set out to change that when they joined forces in 2006. Taking to the skies with a unique brand of high flying offense that few teams could answer, London and Kendrick defeated MNM for SmackDown’s WWE Tag Team Titles in May of that year and successfully defended them for the next 331 days which is a feat which was broken recently by New Day. The aerial experts were drafted to Raw in 2007, where they added a World Tag Team Championship reign to their mantle before the WWE Draft split them up in 2008. 

5) The Legion Of Doom
Legion Of Doom/Road Warriors well wow what a team they had the mean look and the mean wrestling skills that would run you over repeatedly. The most dominant tag team in sports-entertainment history, WWE Hall of Famers The Road Warriors made their WWE debut in 1990 as the Legion of Doom. After battling Demolition, Hawk and Animal faced The Nasty Boys and defeated the disgusting duo for the World Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam 1991. This victory made the L.O.D. the only pairing in history to win tag team titles in the three promotions that dominated sports-entertainment in the 1980s: AWA, NWA and WWE. Although the Legion of Doom was wildly popular in their early days in WWE, they struggled to maintain their success as the years passed. The L.O.D. left WWE in 1992 but returned in 1997 and won the tag team titles. However, after seemingly splitting up and reforming as L.O.D. 2000, the duo was unable to regain their control over the tag division. Hawk and Animal’s time in WWE wasn’t always as fortuitous as their runs in smaller territories, but their popularity and intensity was rarely matched. 

4) The Hardy Boyz
Another one of my fave tag teams in all of wrestling history here, i use to idolise them both but Jeff more and i am still a huge fan of the team, followed their career since the first time i tuned in to a wwf show. An integral part of the tag team renaissance of the early 2000s, Matt and Jeff Hardy were part of the six-headed rivalry (along with Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz) that gave birth to the Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, where they pioneered the modern use of the ladder. The reckless abandon with which they practised their craft won the brothers numerous tag titles as well as several singles championships between them. 

3) Edge & Christian
HOLD THAT POSE FOR 5 SECONDS PLEASE!...........Ok good. Another entertaining, skilled wrestling tag team here. Lifelong best friends, Edge and Christian went from school hallways in Toronto to quite literally climbing the ladder of success in WWE. The pairing undeniably “reeked of awesomeness” – their tongue-in-cheek “five-second poses” and proclamations that “sodas rule” were just earnest enough to earn simultaneous adoration and eye-rolls from the WWE Universe. With their patented Con-Chair-To, Edge and Christian won seven World Tag Team Championships, the first in a Ladder Match against The Hardys at WrestleMania 2000. They defeated both The Hardys and Dudley Boyz in the first-ever TLC Match at SummerSlam, and were victorious in a rematch at WrestleMania X-Seven – hailed by many as the greatest tag team match in WWE history. The longstanding animosity between the three duos consistently resulted in Edge and Christian supremacy, and solidified the team as not just fun and games, but a bona fide force to be reckoned with. Edge and Christian were the arrogant jerks you loved to hate, especially as they revolutionized tag team wrestling for generations to come.

2) The New Day
Although i am not a big fan of them, they are entertaining and the longest modern era reigning tag champions and at least they are here on my list so don't worry and be happy. The New Day are two-time and longest reigning Raw Tag Team Champions at 483 days, as well as having the longest combined reign at 532 days

1) The Dudleys
GET UP GET UP DROP THE BOMBSHELL! Yes number one has the one and only BUBBA Ray and D-Von Dudley, from Dudleyville, THE DUDLEY BOYZ! The Dudley Boyz, who hold the most reigns as a team with 8! They have won titles all over the world in all different companies from ECW, WWF,WWE,TNA, WCW,2CW,Hustle, All Japan,IWGP and are in TNA's Hall Of Fame. The most accomplished tag team on this list for sure and that's why they are numero uno!
