#8 Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Triple H
One of the biggest stars of his generation, Triple H is the perfect definition of the total transformation of a professional wrestler.
Back in 1995, Hunter Hearst Helmsley appeared on the WWE scene, with the man we now know as Triple H carrying a few of the traits he'd established previously in his WCW days into his new character in Vince McMahon's organization. This stuck up, snobbish Connecticut Blueblood was designed to draw the ire of his opponents and WWE fans alike, and he managed it with great aplomb. With a real arrogance about him and a British-inspired accent, Helmsley was despised by many and quickly established himself as a force in the company. In the matter of a short couple of years, he became Intercontinental Champion and won the King of the Ring tournament.
Over time, of course, Hunter Hearst Helmsley became abbreviated to HHH, which would later become Triple H. The accent was dropped and a snobbish demeanour was traded for that of a total degenerate - the man himself becoming a founding member of D-Generation X alongside Shawn Michaels. That incarnation was soon overtaken by the Cerebral Assassin, who in turn became The Game and the King of Kings. One man, one career, but an incredible change when you compare the start to the finish.
