10 Times Triple H Ripped Off Ideas

[@MorrisonsProphecy]

It was only a one off but HHH offeirng a "bounty" for anyone who could injure Goldberg prior to their title match was an almost exact copy of Harley Race offering $25k to anyone who could take Ric Flair out of wrestlong before THEIR match. At least he knows how to recycle.

Trips got even more from Shane Douglas than just the overall arrogant character, valet and leather cap--the whole water spitting entrance, the towel over the head while coming to the ring, and wearing his hair wet and slicked back.

Hhh's entire idea of nxt developing stars was stolen from shane mcmahon.
