5 times an injury revived a wrestling career

#2 Time to Play The Game

The King of Kings roars with his MSG Return!

Speaking of mentors and students, the game himself was subject to a similar fate like his protege Seth Rollins.

In 2001, Triple H along with Stone Cold Steve Austin dominated as a heel team with all the gold appropriately named the Power Trip. Their ruthless dominance resulted in a tag team title match against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit where his left quadriceps gave way forcing him to be shelved.

A career-threatening injury unlike any, it seemed Triple H might never make it back. In fact, for a while, most had even forgotten about him. The man that had dominated the Attitude Era as a Ruthless corporate-backed heel, returned to the hallowed grounds of Madison Square Garden in 2002.

As Jim Ross eloquently put it, his return blew the roof of the building. Triple H, now leaner and meaner declared his intent to win the Royal Rumble and Main Event Wrestlemania. Indeed the Game was back and the Game won.

The first of many such injuries to Wrestlemania Main Event runs for multiple superstars, it all began with the measuring stick of the business. Months forward Triple H would see the luster of his return, overshadowed by Hulk Hogan's mega face turn and the loss of support turned him back and thus began the Reign of Terror under the Game.
