Is The Reign of Terror coming? Evolution being built? I'm myself booking the 2004 era in TEW and ending the Reign of Terror just to shake things up. It won’t be the Reign of Terror as much as it was in reality but Triple H will be in the title picture for a pretty long time and rightfully so. He was the focal point of RAW during this time and I think he’s the best one in my universe to be the World Heavyweight Champion. |

He was the focal point of RAW during this time and I think he’s the best one in my universe to be the World Heavyweight Champion. Without a doubt. I've always admired Triple H as a performer despite of all the internet non-sense at the time and of course him being a bit protected, but like you said... "rightfully so" sums it all up. |
