10 Shocking WWE Stars Who Beat Triple H
These 10 talents knew how to play the game
6. The Stalker
As a mark for vintage NWA from the 70s and 80s, I doubt a still-developing Hunter Hearst Helmsley would’ve minded putting over Barry Windham.
Windham, one of the most underrated workers ever, who never quite fulfilled his enormous potential, was a former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion and Four Horseman member.
Triple might have had an issue doing the honours for The Stalker, however. The Stalker was Windham repackaged as some sort of camo-wearing, face-painted hunter, a gimmick given to him because he happened to mention he liked outdoor pursuits during an interview with Vince McMahon.
The Stalker came out strong, getting a decent little push in late 96, beating the likes of The Goon and TL Hopper. His biggest scalp was Helmsley’s, beating him with a Superplex on the September 23 Raw.
Hunter was, perhaps, still serving some of his punishment for his part in the infamous MSG Curtain Call as, before that night, he was far better protected on television.
