10 awkward gimmicks that WWE Superstars probably wouldn't acknowledge today

#2 Triple H's WCW Days

Triple H didn't have a great time in WCW

Triple H is the COO of WWE and a former World Champion, but before he came over to the biggest wrestling promotion in the world and married Stephanie McMahon, The Game was known to the WCW audience by a different name.

Triple H was known as Terra Ryzing up until 1994 and was renamed, Jean-Paul Leveque, which would see him concentrate on the French roots of his surname. Even though The King of Kings couldn't speak French, he was forced to speak in a French accent.

It seems that Triple H has come a long way since his early days in WCW, but now as one of the best-known wrestlers in the world, it is highly unlikely that he will ever want to relive those days.
