Triple H has improved a lot recently. He's not back to his best (2001), and he probably never will be due to his quad injury, but he's improved an awful lot. He's had great matches with HBK, the two Triple Threat matches, and he put over Shelton Benjamin and Tajiri also...

The point is, the WWE booked Benoit strong at Wrestlemania and Backlash, and he had momentum, if they had pushed him as the main focus of the show, he could be on his way to stardom, but Triple H and his buddy are STILL the main focus of the show. How the hell can the WWE justify having a whole Raw dedicated to Shawn and Him doing nothing but brawl? The match between Benoit and Kane is 3 weeks away, and they weren't even involved together this week, yet Shawn and Hunter had about what....8, 9 segments?
Basically, Triple H is keeping himself the focus of the show, so that Benoit looks like a paper champion for a few months before he can get it back, it is blatantly obvious.
Everyone got off Triple H's back because at the time, it seemed like he was doing what was right for business, but its the same old story. What is even more ridiculous is that Benoit's segments HAVE been drawing recently, far more than Triple H did when he was Champion. So surely, if the WWE want to improve ratings, they should push the guy who is drawing, but Triple H is still at the VERY TOP of the card, and the only reason for it is politics.
On the matter of putting over Benjamin and Tajiri. Tajiri was barely put over. It was the same as a few years ago when Kai En Tai went up against Austin and Triple H, Austin and Triple H made them look like they could win, but then beat them, it did nothing for either Funaki or Taka, and it wont do anything for Tajiri. Also, yeah, sure he put over Benjamin, and props to him for doing it. But the only reason he did it, was because Benjamin doesn't threaten his position at the top of the company by going over him, if Benoit is pushed as the highlight of the show, Triple H makes less money. What he doesn't realise is that if Benoit is pushed strong, and Triple H is still in the running, the match could draw big, and make both men plenty of money. Benoit going over Kane wont do a whole lot of good for either of them, as Kane looks weak AGAIN on PPV and Benoit goes over someone who's hardly been booked strong for 8 months, and whose shot comes as a result of....guess what, the HHH/Shawn fued!!!
If you don't think Triple H is playing politics, your a moron.
