#4 Triple H

In the mid-90s, Triple H parted ways with WCW after not being satisfied with how he was being handled in the promotion. He met Vince after the latter watched him wrestle Alex Wright at WCW Starrcade. The WWE Chairman made it clear that he wasn't promising good money, but was offering Triple H a spot in his company.

He was like, ‘I want you to come here, I think you’re a talented kid. I’m not offering you any spot, I’m offering you a spot. I don’t guarantee money.’ I had told him when I came in, it’s not about the money for me, I want to work everyday, I want to work the best, I want to be the best.

Triple H soon began to get over with the crowd, and the formation of DX only helped him in the long run. He went on to become a multiple-time World Champion and is currently the EVP of WWE.

Triple H has headlined several WrestleMania main events against the likes of Chris Jericho, John Cena, Randy Orton, and The Rock. He recently celebrated his 25th anniversary in WWE.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
