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 The Rock Moments

IF YA SA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL-LA WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!? Yes but this time what is this list cookin? What am i cooking? A list of the top 10 best Rock moments :)
10) The Debut - Hard to believe the great one debut back in 1996 survivor series but he was not the great one back then. He was Rocky Mavia a third generation superstar. Rocky Maivia teamed with Barry Windham, Marc Mero and Jake Roberts to battled the hated Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Goldust and Crush in one of the more intriguing matches of the night. The presence of this young athlete who had so many in the industry buzzing. On his first night of televised action, Maivia took the fight to his opponents and, at a two-on-one numbers disadvantage, fought through Goldust and Crush's onslaught to win the match for his team. Little did fans know at the time, but they had just witnessed the arrival of a Superstar who would one day cross over into the world of Hollywood and become the film industry's biggest star, leaving the wrestling industry in a far better state than he had found it.

9) The Corporation - It was led by the McMahon family and was characterised by an authoritarian and corrupt attitude towards more rebellious wrestlers. The Corporation existed throughout 1998 and 1999 and feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, D-Generation X (DX), The Union, and The Ministry of Darkness, eventually merging with the latter and forming The Corporate Ministry.  The Rock, was The Corporation's proclaimed "Crown Jewel" (and whom they helped win the WWF Championship at Survivor Series), holding the WWF Championship three times while part of the group. 

8) Rock Vs Cena - After eight years away from the squared circle, The Rock returned from Hollywood for a match with John Cena dubbed "Once in a Lifetime." but of course it happened twice. Fan anticipation was off the charts, as members of the audience split into teams as if they were bearing witness to the WWE equivalent of the Twilight films. Some were Team Cena. Others were Team Rock. But all were invested in the biggest WrestleMania main event in years. The Superstars did not disappoint. Cena and Rock delivered a main event fitting the occasion. 

7) Rock Vs Hulk Hogan - The staredown between The Rock and Hulk Hogan at the beginning of their WrestleMania X8 classic is the stuff of legend, a goosebump-inducing moment that instantly portrayed to fans the enormity of the match. The leader of one generation was standing mere feet from the figurehead of another, ready to do battle for nothing more than bragging rights and personal pride. Rock earned his "Icon" status in this match!

6) Rock V HHH - The Rock and Triple H have careers that are indelibly linked. Their respective rises to the top of wrestling paralleled one another and they faced each other every step of the way and it's been so electrifying. It would be cool to have one last match between the two at wrestlemania.

5) This Is Your Life - With the largest television rating in WWE Raw history, Mankind's tribute to his friend and tag team partner featured quality performances from the Superstars. For that reason, and its viewership, the segment remains one of the most memorable of either man's career.

4)  - Half Time Heat - The beginning of 1999 saw a red-hot, brutal and violent rivalry between The Rock and Mankind over the WWE Championship engulf the company and captivate the fans. During the halftime show of SuperBowl XXXIII, the Superstars would meet in the first-ever Empty Arena match for what WWE called Halftime Heat. With no one else in the building, the Superstars would have free rein to beat the hell out of each other until one man emerged victorious, the undisputed champion. The match that ensued was a chaotic brawl that featured Vince McMahon on commentary and saw the Superstars fight from the squared circle, into the stands, through the backstage area, into the catering area and, finally, to the receiving dock in the back of the building. Rock may have lost, but his contribution to the most outrageous match of the Attitude Era was undeniable.

3) Nation Of Domination  - Rock was intercontinental champion for most of the time he spent with Nation. As part of his heel turn, Rocky Maivia shortened and changed his ring name to The Rock. On the March 30, 1998 episode of Raw Is War, the night after WrestleMania XIV, The Rock went on to usurp leadership of the Nation from Faarooq, at which point the group permanently dropped "of Domination" from its name and its militant focus. Instead, The Rock's gimmick spread throughout the faction with Nation members taking on considerably more hip characters, the most notable being Kama Mustafa's transformation into The Godfather, D'Lo Brown's "bobble-head" and strut, and a new hip version of the group's entrance theme, that would become associated with The Rock's character and be remixed over and over during the years to become his current theme. The Nation's primary focus by now was that The Rock retained the Intercontinental title "by any means necessary", which was the group's motto. 

2) Rock N Sock Connection - Mankind has been mentioned twice on the list so far but here we see the two not fighting but on the same page ok they had some fights too but it was an highly entertaining tag team. I mentioned this team more over on the top 10 wwe tag champions so go there to read a bit more. 

1) Rock V Austin - The feud between the Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is undoubtedly one of the best in WWE history. They had multiple hard fought matches, and a series of intriguing storylines to help polish both of their careers. Their feud drew money, and was a top investment. So much, that they competed against each other at three Wrestlemanias: 15, 17 and 19. The Rock lost his matches at Wrestlemania 15 and 17. However, the Rock wanted one more chance to prove that he can cure the Kryptonite of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. At Wrestlemania 19, he achieved one of the greatest moments of his career in one of the greatest matches of his career defeating Steve Austin.

So now that you have gone one on one with the great one's list you will need to come by again soon for more lists and fun with me! Thanks for stopping by!

Top 10 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments

IF YOU WANT TO SEE ME DO A LIST ON STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN GIVE ME A HELL YEAH! Was that a hell yeah? Good so let's crack open some Steveweisers and get to the bottom line!
10) The Grocery Store Brawl - This moment is memorable and hilarious looking back at it. It all started after Booker cost Austin the undisputed title at Vengeance and Booker T quickly realised he fucked up more or less and was on the run from the rattlesnake but he could not escape his bite.

9) Austin Helps Mankind Win The WWF Title AKA The Pop Heard Around The World - Back in 1999 The Rock aligned with the Corporation and they were against Mankind at the time. Rock Vs Mankind took place with Mankind as the ultimate underdog and no one thought that he had a chance to achieve victory. Stone Cold‘s alliance with DX helped keep McMahon’s gang out of the way as Austin hit The Rock with a steel chair in order to ensure Mankind’s victory. The badass wrestler who didn’t trust anybody came in to save the day and show that anyone can be a champion. WCW funny enough leaked the results of this match thinking wwf would lose viewers but 600,000 people turned off from wcw and into WWF to see Mr's Foley's Baby Boy win the big one! 

8) The Beer Bath - This badass moment occurred during before Mankind won his championship match against The Rock. The Rock taunted Mankind in front of the crowd and then suddenly Stone Cold showed up in a Coors Light beer truck and drove through the stage entrance in order to get to the ring. It was so badass that it will never happen again. 

7) Austin V Owen - At Summerslam 97, Austin was set to face off against Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Title with the added stipulation of Austin having to kiss Hart’s ass if he were to lose. Unfortunately, Austin would suffer a broken neck after a botched piledriver from Hart, but would still go on to win the match and the title. Austin would eventually have to relinquish the title along with the tag championship, but would continue to stay on screen in order to keep his momentum in the Hart feud going. He would return at Survivor Series of that year and would defeat Hart to again win the Intercontinental Title and a slew of new fans by showing a level of toughness rarely seen in wrestling. While the injury ultimately shortened Austin’s career, the time away from the ring allowed Austin to grow as an on-screen performer, perhaps even more so than when he was wrestling.

6) Austin V Bret - Austin was just starting to shine in his stone cold gimmick at the time this feud was happening. Austin and Hart was the rivalry that kicked off what would eventually be known as the Attitude Era. After Hart's comeback at Survivor Series in November 1996, the two grapplers continued their rivalry into early 1997. This match had it all: the biggest star in the WWF, the fastest rising star in the WWF, and one of the most successful UFC fighters of the era. Add in the notoriously vocal Chicago wrestling audience, and you just knew this was going to be something special. The ending of the match marked a major turning point for the future of the company. Austin and Hart pulled a double switch where the heel Austin officially became the company's top babyface, and the long time babyface Hart became the company's top heel. It was done masterfully, as Bret synched in his Sharpshooter while the tough Texas Rattlesnake refused to submit. The iconic images of a bloodied Austin attempting to power out of the Sharpshooter are well known, but in the end Austin could not get out as he passed out from blood loss. Shamrock stopped the match, raising Hart's hand in victory, but the audience was most impressed with the fact that Austin was so tough that he would pass out before he would submit. Hart's heel turn occurred when he did the lowest thing one could do at this point: he kicked the passed out Austin while he was down. As Hart left the Rosemont Horizon to a chorus of boos, Austin exited to cheers when he walked out under his own power, refusing any assistance from officials. This marked the start of Austin's run as the company's top babyface, a run that would carry the company to unparalleled heights in the coming years.

5) Austin & Tyson - What happens when the baddest man in sports entertainment meets the baddest man on the planet? A unforgettable moment will occur. Austin would flip Tyson the bird, and a brawl between the two erupted, giving way to chaos. The moment would kick off a monumental road to WrestleMania that saw increased media attention and the hottest story line the company had created for its signature event in years much of which could be credited to Austin's gruff exterior and take-no-prisoner personality.

4) The First McMahon Stunner - The stunner that kicked off the authority hatin' hell raising side and era of the rattlesnake kicked off when this hit Vince. It was not a particularly good stunner but as i said it kicked off a hell of a memorable rivalry and made wwe history. 

3) Austin V Rock - I can't put just one moment of their monumental rivalry on this list so i have to list it as one full item and the clinics the guys put on be it promos, single matches on raw, or big fights at wrestlemania, both men helped bring each other to the top and make a big money fight one of the best rivalries in all of sports entertainment happen!

2) Austin V McMahon - What can you say about their rivalry it was just like number 3 a monumental one and so entertaining and just so good and gripping it made good tv and it made history! I don't honestly know what else to say because everyone knows this rivalry and it is and was amazing!

1) Austin 3:16 Promo - This promo kicked off everything that is good and holy in the WWE, that being the Attitude Era! This promo took Austin to new heights and the WWF into a new direction and it was well needed and it's still one hell of a moment!

And that's the bottom line! Thanks for stopping by and reading this list! Stay tuned and book mark and stop by again for more!

Top 10 Undertaker Moments

DEAD MAN WALKING! It's going down, have i gone and made a big mistake nope The Undertaker is my all time favourite wrestler and i thought since i did a list on Kane yesterday it would be fitting to do one on The Phenom today! So get back in your casket and let's relax while we have our last rites read. 
10) First WWE Title Win 1991 Survivor Series - One year after The Undertaker's debut, he became the youngest (at the time) WWE Champion of all time in 1991 when he took home his first championship after beating Hulk Hogan at the 1991 Survivor Series. He needed the help of distractions by both Ric Flair and his manager Paul Bearer, and the help of a well-placed steel chair, but he was able to take down the biggest icon in pro wrestling for the championship. 

9) Forming The Brothers Of Destruction - Just like on his brother Kane's list, anytime the duo teamed up and were on the same page it was amazing and just a powerful force no one could beat. I can't pick any moments in particular so i picked it as one. 

8) Ministry Of Darkness - The Ministry of Darkness era had a lot of fun, memorable moments, but the best moment had to be when the Undertaker kidnapped Stone Cold Steve Austin from his hospital room with every intention of sacrificing the Texas Rattlesnake. Luckily Kane stopped the sacrifice before it was too late.

7) Casket Match With Yokozuna - The Undertaker was an unstoppable force leading into the 1994 Royal Rumble and in an early casket match against Yokozuna it took over ten men to finally bring down the Undertaker and slam the casket shut on the Phenom. What followed was one of the more memorable, and cheesy, moments in the Undertaker's career where he claimed he would "not rest in peace" and ascended into the rafters of the arena.

6) The Phenom Returns - The Undertaker had a four-year run in the biker gimmick of the American Badass, but at the 2003 Survivor Series he was buried alive by his brother Kane in a buried alive match. Kane claimed the Undertaker was "dead and buried forever." But soon after the all-too-familiar presence of the Undertaker began to haunt his brother Kane. In the 2004 Royal Rumble, Kane was eliminated after losing focus following the chime of the Undertaker's bell. This all culminated in the return of the Dead Man persona at WrestleMania XX, and yet another win in the streak for the Undertaker.

5) American Badass - The most human of Undertaker gimmicks for the dead man. After eight months time-off due to real-life injuries, the Undertaker made his long-awaited return at Judgment Day in May 2000. However, the days of pitch black, blue fog and church organ music entrances were gone. The Undertaker was now The "American Bad Ass" (termed by the Kid Rock song which was his entrance music during the early months of the persona, later to be changed to "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit) biker complete with sunglasses, bandana, jean shirt and motorcycle. The Badass allowed everyone to see a new side of the Undertaker. While still one of the most dominant forces in the WWF, he appeared human, introducing the world to his wife Sara and speaking as a normal human being. Also, the character began to Take more moves from opponents, making him appear more vulnerable. I also loved the Big Evil transformation for the deadman also. 

4) Taker Vs Kane - This feud had it all, drama, action, wrestling, horror, family, death and history and goes down in history for me as one of the best rivalry's made. Their match at WM 14 was amazing and still is to me. 

3) The Streak - Lays at rest at 23-2 and man what a streak the phenom's was it is still sad Lesner and Reigns beat him at mania. Taker's streak started against Snuka in 1991 and since then Taker has beaten the likes of HBK,HHH,Kane, Jake Roberts, Diesel, Ric Flair, Batista, Randy Orton, Edge and Cm Punk to name but a few. 

2) Debut - Crazy to believe it was like 27 years ago that Taker first arrived to the WWE. Undertaker's debut at the 1990 Survivor Series is still a memorable one. It's rare that a superstar gets a debut at a PPV and the Undertaker took every advantage of the opportunity. The Undertaker held his own against a team that included Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Koko B. Ware and Dusty Rhodes, eliminating Koko and Dusty before being counted out after taking the fight with Rhodes to the outside. Although he didn't end up winning the match, his presence was felt and a character was born that would redefine the WWE.

1) Taker Vs Mankind Hell In A Cell - When people look back at the Attitude Era or history of Hell In A Cell, this match is always one of the first things brought up in the conversation. This legendary Hell in a Cell match was made famous for the two falls that Mick Foley took off and through the cell. The wrestling included a choke slam onto thumb tacks and a final tombstone that finally ended the match for the Undertaker. This may be more of a Mankind moment, but you can't make a top-ten list of the Undertaker without mentioning this match.

Alright and now let us rest in peace and i will see you tomorrow for another list, thanks for stopping by. Bookmark, share and comment!

Top 10 Kane Best Moments (BONUS WORST MOMENTS ALSO)

BAH GAWD IT'S, GOTTA BE KANE! Yes it is the big red machine, the big red monster and the devil's favourite demon well that's how i think of Kane and not being the lame guy he became following the hugging with Bryan and when he went corporate. To celebrate 20 years of this monster let us look at the ten of the best moments Kane had according to me. #20YearsOfKane 

10) Kane wins the big gold! - This happened in the time i was moving away from WWE where i only watched TNA or ROH but it was a huge success and i was happy to hear that he won the big one. 

9) Kane Eliminates 11 at Royal Rumble 2001 - Kane held a record in the Royal Rumble ppv's for more than a decade it was only recently bested by Roman Reigns (sad times). 

8) Kane & Xpac - This friendship turned rivalry was great and done the two wonders i'd say, it was entertaining and pretty gripping. You feel sorry for Kane having no friends and he decides to save this small guy and the two form an unthinkable bond and the two become champs and then they turn on one another more or less and so ends a great team but starts a great feud elevating Kane further up. 

7) Kane's "Wrestlemania Moment" - A lot of people say that Kane beating Chavo for the ECW title in 8 seconds was Kane's big wrestlemania moment. It might have been one of but i think number 2 on this list was better. 

6) Kane Conquers All - By this i refer to the time Kane was in a 7 Man Tag Title TLC Match. In 2002, Kane was practically on fire. He had the WWE fans behind him and he was coming off as a true champion. He had won the Intercontinental Champion and he also held the Tag Titles. Originally supposed to be an 8 man TLC match, Kane's tag team partner, The Hurricane was attacked by Triple H earlier in the show and Kane had to defend his tag titles alone against Jericho, Christian, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Bubba and Spike. Even at such odds, the outcome of the match: 6  bodies lying in and around the ring and Kane standing up high signalling his pyro with the tag titles in his hand.

5) Kane sets JR on fire! - Yes this is on my list, it's one of the most controversial and most talked about moments in wwe and in Kane's career to this day. 

4) The Brothers Of Destruction - Face it anytime the Undertaker and Kane teamed up is on this list and here they are together at number four. Fire & Fury these two dominate all others. 

3) Kane Unmasks - Yes this moment is one of the most iconic of the big red machine, for years fans pondered what he looked like under the mask and when it happened e got to see not a disfigured man but a normal man well normal-ish? It was an odd one and some point to this being the end of Kane or the downward spiral of him.

2) WM 14 Vs Undertaker - Hell of a match, one of my faves i just love their rivalry and showdown here in this match two of my faves head to head.

1) Debut - Of course this is first place, the first time i seen him was this time and it was insane this big red guy comes to the ring with Paul Bearer and rips of the cage door, stands face to face with Taker and destroys him and leaves.


AS A BONUS HERE IS A LIST OF HIS WORSE MOMENTS: Kane Marries Lita, Kane anger management, Corporate Kane, Concession Kane, Katie Vick and Kane, Feuding over Coffee, May 19th, His ability to speak perfectly,his dancing and most of his Team Hell No time. 

So this concludes my list of Kane's best moments and the bonus Worse Moments and i hope you have enjoyed this list and visiting my blog, for more bookmark and pop back every week! 

SEE YOU SOON, STAY SHINY!
