The Ultimate Wrestler Tournament
ROUND ONE: Triple H (3) vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts (6)
If you'd look at the history of these men's titles and accomplishments, they couldn't be further apart. But if you look at their abilities and their contributions to the industry, you'll find them to be much closer matched. Triple H and Jake the Snake. Who ya got?
The Game played second fiddle to The Rock and Steve Austin throughout most of the attitude era, but when the two left the company he was prepared to take the mantle, becoming the leader of Evolution and one of the greatest heels in the history of the WWE. A man reviled by the IWC for his perceived unwillingness to put over new stars, this has only added to his heel status and the gravitas that he carries in the ring.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
*WWF/E Championship (x8)
*World Heavyweight Championship (x5)
*WWF European Championship (x2)
*WWF/E Intercontinental Championship (x5)
*WWE Tag Team Championship (x1)
*World Tag Team Championship (x2)

NOTABLE SEGMENT
Another man who has had a phoenix-like comeback over the last couple years, Jake Roberts's personal triumphs in wrestling were long overshadowed by his substance abuse issues. But now that he has come clean, fans can once again more easily appreciate his history of greatness, including feuds against Ricky Steamboat, Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude and Stone Cold Steve Austin. An underrated ring worker and a man with an extremely memorable gimmick, Roberts is a very worthy inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
*Numerous territorial championships
*WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2014
