I disagree quite a bit. He entered WWE as a snot nose blue blood, got pushed to the midcard, then got punished for the Kliq's curtain call for a while. Then they went back to pushing him.
After Shawn left, they turned him face, gave him the ball and he ran with it, and turned heel and proceeded to be built up as a main eventer. He won the title later that summer after beating Mankind on Raw.
Mind you, he was
THE top heel in the company from his initial winning of the belt all the way through dropping the title to the Rock at 2000's Backlash event.
All that happened from late 1996. So in a span of about 3 and half years, Hunter's character developed form snob, to rebel, to rebel leader, to main event heel. I wouldn't call that many years and many pushes. His character more or less evolved. It;s not as if he had a sudden gimmick change.
Also, no shit it took top guys putting him over to get him to their level. That's how it works. HBK beat Bret, Austin beat HBK, Rock and Mankind beat each other, Hunter beat Mankind, so on and so forth.
I'm not trying to say he's not overrated, because, honestly, anyone with any type of following, whether it be from the IWC or young marks, is going to be overrated. Just how it works.
But to say that Triple H is the "most overrated " is a bit much. He was money till he got hurt.
