It's all about The Game


Professional wrestling has its own hold on pop culture thanks to the colorful characters often found in sports entertainment. With names like The Ultimate Warrior, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Andre the Giant, wrestlers deserve their own pop-culture spotlight. From time to time here on CollecTwins we'll take a minute to focus on professional wrestling. Case in point is today's post, which takes a collectors' eye view on one of WWE's most successful wrestlers, Triple H, also known as "The Game."




Paul Levesque, aka Triple H, was born in New Hampshire in 1969. He rose to prominence in the WWE as a member of D-Generation X, but soon became one of the predominant singles wrestlers in WWE history. Triple H is currently an executive with WWE and has been married to Stephanie McMahon since 2003. Here are some Triple H collectibles worth pinning down.

This impressive resin statue of Triple H was released by the always-reliable McFarlane Toys as part of the WWE Icon Series. The limited edition statue stands over 18" tall and includes an authentic piece of ring canvas from the Triple H vs. The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar triple-threat match from August 2002. The statue fetches anywhere from $300-$450 on the secondary market, but it's getting more difficult to find.
