Triple H's return to the WWE in January 2002
This guy should've been the biggest face in the industry since The Rock/Austin IMO. ANYONE who saw his return face pop on January 7th 2002, knows what I'm talking about!
Instead - the WWE screwed it up. They not only aligned Triple H with a heel Stephanie (who kept 'bragging' about Triple H to the crowd which helped killed Triple H's face pops), but they made Triple H look 'weak' and 'susceptible' to screw jobs. They may sound weird, but Triple H should NOT have jobbed to Angle at No Way Out that year. He ended up looking like a FOOL who got SCREWED (and a major part of Triple H's gimmick, is that he is the 'cerebral assassin'). Triple H getting beat down before No Way Out, also made him look WEAK. Before Royal Rumble, Stephanie was talking shit to Stone Cold STeve Austin.......which once again, made the fans second guess themselves if they wanted to cheer Triple H.
At Wrestlemania, Triple H fought and defeated a NON-built up Chris Jericho (who was made to look extremely weak as World Champion). The feud also focused way too much on Triple H/Stephanie....instead of Triple H/Jericho.
Triple H feuding with Hulk Hogan a month later was also BRAIN DEAD (why have a guy, who you want to be a successful face, feud against the most OVER guy in the company at the time?.......Hulkamania!?!?).
To top off the stupidity, Triple H once again looked weak as he jobbed to a past-his-prime Hogan. Triple H then jobbed to Undertaker a little while later.
In the match between The Rock and Undertaker, Triple H pedigreed The Rock (top face).
