5 Most Unbelievable WWE Superstar transformations
They say that you don't get a second chance to make a first impression in the real world, but in the world of WWE, it seems that a character change is all it takes to make the WWE Universe feel as if though it is the first time which they are meeting you.
It is nothing new in the WWE to see superstars changing their look, gimmick or character. In many instances, it is actually quite necessary to refresh a character in order to give the superstar a fresh boost in their career. Just about every WWE superstar who has ever stepped into a WWE ring has had a change in gimmick or transformed their character from the one which they used when they first made their debut and this is something which has seen many of these stars rise to the top of the WWE.
There have been cases where a change in gimmick has not worked as well as expected and the superstar has been forced to revert back to their old gimmick. The most memorable of these was the case for The Undertaker when he adopted his new American Badass gimmick which proved to be less than popular with the fans. While some fans did find this new side of The Undertaker interesting and exciting, the general reaction was that the gimmick was a step in the wrong direction for the superstar and it wouldn't be long before he returned to his original gimmick which he has stuck to ever since then.
Superstars have also had their careers made because of a change to their gimmick and this article will take a look at five times when this has been the case. Most of these superstars changed their character so drastically that it was almost as if they were completely reborn and hard to recognize. This just goes to show how powerful a character transformation can be and how it can change the entire career of a WWE superstar.
This article will take a look at five superstar transformations which you won't believe happened in the WWE:
#1 Triple H
If you remember Triple H back when he made his WWE debut, you will recall that he was a very different character from The Game which we all know him to be. His character was the snobbish and arrogant Hunter Hearst Helmsley and was the complete opposite to the powerhouse which we have grown to love.
His teaming up with Shawn Michaels was the beginning of what would be a massive transformation for The Cerebral Assassin. He would ditch the Hunter Hearst Helmsley name as well as the snobbish gimmick which he had and become better known as Triple H.
He noticeably improved his body and put on muscle which positioned him as more of an intensive superstar. Fans took much more of a liking to this new version of the man and it wouldn't be long before he was in the main event scene and winning multiple championships.
