WWF King Of The Ring: Winner 1997
Short Bio
After touring the Indy circuit winning heavyweight titles along the way, he signed up for WCW as Terra Ryzing, and was a total failure. Repackaged as Jean-Paul Levesque, a French snob, he teamed up with Lord Steven Regal as The Bluebloods, and was a mid card stalwart.
With his contract running out, Vince promised him the world, and Hunter Hearst Helmsley was born. Again, a snob gimmick, he spent a lot of time building the gimmick, not really going anywhere. in 1996 he was scripted to win King Of The Ring... Until the MSG 'Curtain Call' incident where he broke character and hugged fellow Kliq members Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, & Kevin Nash in Hall & Nash's last WWF match up.
Unable to punish Hall & Nash, or Michaels due to the fact Michaels was WWF Champion, Helmsley took the brunt, and was de-pushed to the point of jobbing to Henry Godwinn.
1996's King Of The Ring went on to be Steve Austin... what might have been... Helmsley eventually morphed into Triple H, and was paired with Chyna, his girlfriend. Breaking the moulds as a heel partnership, they were paired with Michaels as the groundbreaking Degeneration-X.
Under the DX Flag, Triple H won European and IC gold, and when Michaels injuries were too much, he assumed leadership of DX and turned face. Remained a face until Chyna joined The Corporation, and he later joined as well.
After The Corporation broke up, he eventually reformed DX, and won his first of four WWF World titles so far. Has since gone on to become the most dominant heel in recent history, and the WWF's MVP. With his 'marriage' to Stephanie, he was split from Chyna, both on screen and off, but has since re-ignited the flame with Chyna.
Briefly hinted a face turn before proclaiming to the world that he was behind Austin being run over, and reinstalling himself as wrestling's #1 guy the fans love to hate. After Austin's turn at Wrestlemania, however, Austin and HHH became tag team partners and looked set to dominate the WWF for months to come.
Triple H won the Intercontinental title a couple of times, but dropped it to Kane, before hinting again at a face turn, until he snapped his quadricep in a tag match against Jericho and Benoit. Trips is scheduled to return in November, and we'll see then what side of the fence he comes back on...
