There are some moments that history can never forget. Following the end of the Attitude Era, the wrestling peak was cooling down. Without WCW to afford competition, fans were not as interested in wrestling as they had once been.

Several top superstars were missing from WWE as well. This was a time of transition, with a new generation of WWE Superstars picking up their game. However, if there was one Superstar who was missing, and whose game helped the transition from one time to another, it was ‘The Game’ himself.

Triple H had been out for 8 long months with a devastating quadriceps injury. The injury and his absence had led to the hearts of the fans growing fonder. So, when WWE hyped the return of "The Game" for their show at Madison Square Garden in 2002, on the 7th of January, it was a moment that every fan was waiting for.

It was one of the most awaited moments in the history of WWE.

Every fan in The Garden stood up to welcome back a Superstar who had been missing for over eight months as “It’s all about the Game” started to play. He came out wearing a sleeveless stylized denim jacket and gave Triple a 5-minute long standing ovation.

Triple H is one of the most polarizing superstars in the WWE. But when he was a 'face' he ensured that the fans blew the roof off the arena.
