WWE’s Triple H Called The Biggest Egomaniac In Wrestling History

It’s an extremely crowded field, but is Triple H really the biggest egomaniac in wrestling history?

Triple H’s career trajectory in WWE is something to behold. Joining the company in the mid-nineties as another escapee from pre-NWO WCW, he immediately found friendship with Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Sean Waltman, collectively known as the Kliq.

This backstage group used their strength in numbers and position on the card to influence Vince McMahon. But when Nash and Hall left for WCW in 1996, the group’s power was somewhat diminished. By 1997, Triple H and Shawn Michaels’ friendship made it on-screen as D-Generation X was born.

At the turn of the millennium, Triple H found himself among the biggest stars in the company, and some feel he only consolidated that position when he married Stephanie McMahon. 3 daughters and over twenty years later, however, any notion that theirs was a marriage of convenience has surely been put to bed.

Triple H is now the man in charge of WWE’s creative, taking over from his father-in-law when he was finally and seemingly permanently ousted from the company. The Game enjoyed a long honeymoon period as the man in the hot seat, but that is now over with Triple H under increasing pressure from fans over what many see as a waning product.

And now, he’s been accused of letting his ego run away with itself, ironically, by a man who once made himself world champion despite having no in-ring experience.

Is Triple H An Egomaniac?

Former WCW and WWE writer Vince Russo took to social media to ask if Triple H was the biggest egomaniac ever in wrestling while sharing his WWE Hall of Fame graphic. It’s been seven months since Triple H was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Russo wrote:

You seriously have to start asking yourself this question: Has there EVER been a BIGGER EGOMANIAC in the History of the Business than @TripleH?!!! II’ll Wait . . .

There may never have been a more apt situation for the famous phrase “it takes one to know one” when it comes to Russo’s comments.
