• A generation of wrestling fans who grew up watching the Attitude Era of wrestling have, at some point, imitated The Game’s entrance gimmick, more specifically the part where Triple H spits out a mouthful of water with great force whilst looking upwards. It mostly ends with the bathroom ceiling sporting ‘water art’ bearing an interesting pattern. Levesque has an interesting backstory to how he added the now trademark gimmick to his entrance act.
  • “As my career was progressing, after I became WWE champion in the late 1990s, I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder and a bit of an attitude. So when I was getting in the ring, there were a lot naysayers who said I would never make it to the [top] level. A lot of people were against me, they didn’t like what I did or how I got there. So you know, the water bottle... I would wet my hair and have the bottle with me as I stood up on the [ring] apron... I would put the water in my mouth and spit it out in defiance at the crowd while holding the championship. It always got a big reaction, and over time that morphed into sort of what you see now,” he says.
