Another future Horseman that was right there and not doing a ton as a heel at the time that could have easily been turned was Chris Benoit, who would have fit the young, but experienced criteria. He didn't have the stigma of being a job guy in the WWF for five years beforehand, either.
Great, great point. Hero doesn't look morbidly obese in that picture, but different ring attire might be in order. That was one gripe I had with Brodus Clay. I think the singlet he wore didn't do him any favors, and he would have looked more like a monster and less egg-like in a different outfit.
I would categorize NHL and MLS as JTTS sports. Sure, they're staring at the lights for MLB and the NBA, and getting squashed by the NFL, but don't tell me they wouldn't hit their finishers on the Arena league and Major League Lacrosse.
Hmm....what do all these things have in common?
This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Triple H, The Game, The Cerebral Assassin, is owed a debt of gratitude from the WWE Universe as the Safest Superstar of All Time. It is incalculable how many injuries The Game has prevented by protecting fans from their own jubilation and excitement.
