#100 Hunter Heart 'Triple H' Helmsley
Let me explain something to you. I AM a lot of things. I am everything that I say I am. But the one thing that I definitely am not, is a good guy. So if you feel like playin' the Game, then jack I'm standing right here.

I know this will be controversial, putting Trips ahead of the other 2, but I do strongly feel Triple H is the single most compelling character in wrestling if you take his career as a whole. He starts off a typical Connecticut Blueblood who wants nothing more than to be the best wrestler in the world and recognized as such. So he starts making the right friends and connections after a few years of struggling. Slowly he forms the Kliq, consisting of himself and three of the best wrestlers at the time, Razor Ramon, Diesel, and Shawn Michaels. This group exists mostly backstage,but it is revealed in kayfabe as Shawn and Trips form Degeneration X. After Shawn is gone, it quickly becomes obvious that while he was the weakest of the group, it existed to serve his needs. The other 3 didn't need it, the whole thing was a ruse to propel himself forward. He calls himself the game because of this ability of his to continue climbing the ladder and PLAY THE GAME so well that he transcends it.
With that said, and himself in charge of D-X the group grows, each member supporting Triple H's crawl up the ladder of success, resulting in his reaching the pinnacle of the company. his every move is very carefully plotted, even down to the women he chooses to romance, leading to him positioning himself as the heir of the company, a move that is cemented when he marries Steph and has a hand in (kayfabe) pushing the old heir Shane out of the company.
Along the way, it is clear he prefers childish antics and having fun with his cronies, but that he is not above being sadistic and mean and completely unscrupulous to get his way. Unlike the other wrestlers on this list, he has practically never wavered from that and has been interesting to me almost the entire way. While other had stronger individual runs, he has had a strong decade plus in a single character which is impressive as he has been a fan favorite that entire time as well. Fact is, if you had to choose one wrestler who typified the WWE, Triple H is THE answer period.
