Top 10 Greatest Heels in WWE History 3

3) Triple H

Whether as a wrestler, or now as an authority figure, Triple H has always been an effective heel, easily among the best in history.

His role was crucial as he came into his prime when Stone Cold and The Rock were the undisputed top babyfaces in the wrestling industry. Having a great heel to feud with was essential for those two, particularly for The Rock when Stone Cold was out of action through most of 2000 with a neck injury.

As part of the McMahon/Helmsley era, Triple H really stepped up to a whole new level as a bad guy. He ended Mick Foley‘s in-ring career, cementing him as a force to be reckoned with and he was the perfect opponent for The Rock.

Nicknamed the Cerebral Assassin, there were no lows Triple H wouldn’t stoop to in order to win or keep his title. The 13-time champion committed heinous acts, be it in or out of matches, to eliminate his competition.

He orchestrated a plot to run over Stone Cold, turned on his best friend Shawn Michaels and formed Evolution in 2003, all as a plan to stay on top as long as possible. Now as the COO, he plays a villainous, fictionalized version of himself on WWE programming and he continues to show how great of a heel he is.

Adding fuel to the fire is the perception of Triple H the person from fans. For years, fans have seen him as an entitled, overrated star who married the boss’s daughter and held young talent back through backstage politics all to remain on top. Well, whatever the truth is, it works on screen.
