Triple H; The Cerebral Assassin, The Game, The King of Kings. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is just the best, isn’t he?
The 13-time world champion has had one of the most storied careers in the history of wrestling – while his real life outside of the ring has panned out like no other man or woman who has ever laced up a pair of boots. He really is one of a kind.
Starting his career as Terra Ryzing – a name given to him by trainer Killer Kowalski on the back of a pizza box – Hunter started his mainstream career with a one-year deal in WCW before turning down another mega bucks offer to head to the promised land of WWE. The rest, as they say, is history.
Whether it be starting out as the Connecticut Blue Blood, evolving into one of the edgiest Superstars in what could be the...

In just over a week, the rebranded WWE 12 will take to the shelves, replacing once and for all the now defunct Smackdown vs Raw title as Thq’s flagship wrestling property. While the developers are keen to promote WWE12 as an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary step, the list of developments and new features this year looks massive compared to the step-ups between earlier franchise additions, and it is perhaps better to think of WWE 12 as a new start entirely.
Fans will buy it, and those pre-disposed to snear at the “fake” sport (I suggest those nay-sayers try suplexing Mark Henry to test their philosophy properly) will probably stay away, but for the first time in a long while for a wrestling title, WWE 12 has a genuine broad appeal. Personally, I count myself as something of a lapsed fan – I cling to the classic eras, adding a rose-tinted gloss to the...

Five's revival of 1970s sports competition show Superstars made a fairly decent start in the ratings on Friday.

The figure put Five ahead of Channel 4, where travel show A Place In The Sun: Home Or Away interested only 1.1m (5.2%). Big Brother coverage, including the surprise eviction of Mario Marconi, was the channel's strongest draw on Friday. The first hour, from 9pm, was seen (more)...
