Not every wrestler manages to leave a mark on the history of the sport and the spectacle. Only a few are honored to enter the Hall of Fame.

By the way, today, any casinoenligne offers wrestling-themed slot machines. These are slots with colorful graphics and jackpots; even new Gaming Club customers can compete.

Paul Michael Lévesque

Paul Michael's creative pseudonym is Triple H, which means Triple H in Russian translation. The future wrestler was born on 27 July 1969 in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Standing 193 centimeters tall and weighing 116 kilograms, this famous ‘fighter’ was distinguished by his lean, bulging muscles. His muscles were prepared for jumps and fast jerks, as well as performing various stunts and falls.

He made his professional debut on 24 March 1992. At the time, he represented the ‘third division’ and looked considerably worse than in his peak form.

To date, Lévesque has won 14 World Heavyweight Championship titles. He is also the permanent leader of two wrestling groups: ‘Evolution’ and ‘Degeneration X’.

Levec is a creative personality and currently holds the position of Director of Content for wrestling's leading promotion, WWE. Like many other wrestlers, he has made his mark in the film industry.

Lawrence Wendell Pfol

A true icon of the 90s, a muscular athlete wearing an immovable American flag on his briefs, is Lawrence Wendell Pfol, better known as ‘Lex Luger’. So popular was he that Luger's image was used in many wrestling video games.

Lawrence was born on 2 June 1958. At the peak of his career, with a growth of 191 centimeters, he showed an impressive 122 kilograms of ‘bodybuilder’ muscle mass in the Ring.

Luger made his debut on October 31, 1985. By the early 90s, he was already competing simultaneously in two organizations, fighting for the title in ‘WCW’ and ‘WWF’.

Despite his venerable age and injuries, he continued to perform until 2006, leaving the public with an unforgettable and unique image.

James Brian Hellwig

The man whose appearance and image have always resembled that of a muscular Indian warrior is James Brian Hellwig, better known by the alias ‘Ultimate Warrior’, which translates as ‘The Last Warrior’. 

James was born on 16 June 1959 in Crofordsville, Indiana. He made his Ring debut on November 28, 1985. At his peak, he weighed 127 kilograms and grew to 187 centimeters, making him the most massive ‘warrior’ on our list.

At the end of the 80s, playing in the ‘WWF’ Federation, he acquired a reputation as an impenetrable, zabiyaki ‘Bad Boy’, making him a firm favorite with the public. Thanks to a well-chosen image, he remained under contract without missing a single major match.

Sadly, James' form was artificially maintained, and his life was cut short on 8 April 2014, when he was just 54 years old. Just three days before his death, his friends, understanding what lay ahead, inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame, greatly brightening the final hours of his life.
