#4 Ego triumphs over emotions (WrestleMania XIX)

The Biggest HHH Ego Trip.
The Biggest HHH Ego Trip.

No reign or era in the history of WWE/WWF has been more dominated by a Superstar than Triple H's reign of terror on Raw between 2002 and 2005. So dominant was Triple H backstage that even someone like Shawn Michaels, his real-life best friend, held the World Title for a mere 28 days before losing it back to HHH. However, Triple H was at his worst during his feud with Booker T leading up to Wrestlemania XIX.

Racial slurs and comments are never taken lightly by the WWE. So when HHH brought up Booker's past during a promo, it left a bad taste in the mouth of fans. WWE had the opportunity to correct the mistakes and give Booker a well-deserved victory at 'Mania. Guess what? We witnessed another one of Triple H's ego trip.Not just an ego trip, it was probably the worst case of HHH using his backstage influence to win a match.

Not only did HHH pin Booker T right in the middle of the ring, the way he defeated him made Booker look like a fool. A 23 seconds after executing a pedigree, HHH crawled over to Booker T, who was lying lifeless as if he had just been hit by a bullet, to continue his reign of terror. Right when the fans were expecting a long due crowning for Booker, WWE and Triple H swerved everyone with arguably the worst decision of that era.
