In two separate appearances on The Grandest Stage of Them All, this furious combatant would demonstrate the full extent of the intimidating nature that helped to forge his legend, bringing him into the No. 10 spot of “List This: WWE’s Most Barbaric Moments.”
Already known for his earth-shattering entrances, The Cerebral Assassin set out to shake up John Cena in epic fashion, prior to their WWE Championship Match at WrestleMania 22. In the wake of a barrage of skeletons and knights, engaging in combat on the TitanTron, the fierce grappler ascended from the depths below, sitting in a massive throne adorned in skulls.
Atop The Game’s head laid a silver crown bearing his trademark cross, while an enormous hammer sat at his side. With the opening strains of his powerful music blaring throughout the arena, he shed the animal-pelt cape resting atop his shoulders and prepared to enter the warzone once again. The “barbaric” Superstar was truly poised to conquer another iconic foe.
Five years later at WrestleMania XXVII, Triple H would face the greatest challenge of his career, taking on The Undertaker and his 18-0 undefeated WrestleMania streak. Although The Phenom was known for getting inside his opponent’s mind like no one else – especially at The Show of Shows – The Game would shout from the mountain tops that he was more than ready to play.
Moments before the war-hardened Triple H came forth, the arena lights went dark. In direct defiance of his legendary adversary signature funeral bells, the opening peals of Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” reverberated throughout the WWE Universe.
Then, in anticipation his god-like entrance, a legion of soldiers appeared in battle formation, their shields forming an impenetrable wall. When they split apart again, The King of Kings revealed himself, wearing a long cloak with spiked shoulders. His ever-present intensity would instantly set the tone for his larger-than-life showdown with WrestleMania’s most successful Superstar.
Decorated with ghastly skulls at each of its points, Triple H’s weathered headpiece reflected the hallowed history of the mighty battler who wore it. Covering his face was a life-sized skull, as Triple H radiated the explosive image of the ultimate warrior-king.
The dual displays of barbaric intimidation by Triple H at The Showcase of The Immortals were as important as any weapon in his brutal squared circle arsenal. Ultimately, both would serve as a daunting prelude to the wars he would fight once he got in the ring.
