4. Triple H defeated "The Icon" Sting in a poorly received match

Sting's debut in WWE was a historical moment in professional wrestling. The Icon never jumped ship from WCW even when the company failed and instead went to TNA Impact. Sting was the last great WCW wrestler who hadn't signed with WWE, and his jump was meant to be historical.

Unfortunately for Sting, he ended up being underutilized in the WWE and lost embarrassingly to Triple H in a match most fans believe he should've won. Some fans even speculate that this defeat was Vince McMahon's way of symbolizing his final defeat of WCW.


3. Chris Jericho and Triple H had a feud that lead to real life heat

AEW's le Champion originally joined WWE in 1999, riding in on a gimmick that played off of the Y2K conspiracy theory. And so, Y2J was born and he quickly paved his way through the promotion.

Chris Jericho and Triple H wrestled each other in three different pay-per-view one-on-one matches between 2000 and 2002. Both have confessed to having a dislike of one another, especially during their feuds. But according to Jim Ross, there was more to their real-life animosity.

Today, the two are friends, having reconciled their differences.
