#5 Triple H
The cerebral assassin has been one of the most notable heels in the past decade, and no matter what anyone’s opinion is regarding Triple H as a professional wrestler, his moniker has worked wonders in the company, and has cemented his legacy in the organization. Triple H has been a heel for the majority of his career, and that was enough for one fan to try and get his hands on ‘The King of Kings’.
