Jericho, Edge, and RVD were never remotely close to the level of star Triple H is/was. Also, it's a fucking work.
Really? Jericho was first undisputed champion, big star in both the WCW and WWE wrestled the best of his generation, was pretty damn popular and better technically in the ring and on the mic than HHH.

Edge worked his way up the company and held pretty much every title in the company and was accomplished as both a tag and singles competition and prettying damn popular before his career being cut short through injury. Again a better technical wrestler than HHH.

RVD again another better technical wrestler and was top of the tree at both ECW and WwE, poor mic skills.

What has HHH really done of any note? Being part of DX only worked because HBK just like NWO only worked because of Hogan. Nobody would have batted an eyelid had HBK never agreed to the storyline. It's the people he wrestled that made HHH a big star e.g. Rock, Foley, Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior, HBK, Ric Flair, Goldberg, Hogan, Cena.........

Also as for the rant being a work that's not what Jericho and Edge or RVD thought when questioned on twitter. Jericho was legitimately pissed off as was RVD.

HHH was only ever a big star for being in the right place at the right time and the fact he screws McMahon's daughter only consolidates that point further. Yes HHH is/was a good wrestler but let's not get carried away he was never outstanding or legendary. Where's the skill in hitting someone with a fucking sledgehammer and then kneeing them in the face? He had the look of a decent wrestler but it's not like wrestling would have not survived without him or not been a better business. He's more in the class of someone like say Lex Luger, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Paul Wight, Vader, Yokozuna, Sgt Slaughter I.e. People where decent enough but never actually outstanding and made as much impact on wrestling as a fart in the Grand Canyon.

I can name loads of people who were much bigger stars than HHH could ever claim to be:

Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Steve Austin, Ric Flair, Macho Man, John Cena, CM Punk, Sting, HBK, Goldberg, Undertaker, Mick Foley, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guererro, Kurt Angle, RVD, Edge, Chris Jericho, Batista, Iron Sheikh, Bob Backlund, Bret Hart, heck I would even rank Ron Simmons, Booker T, British Bulldog and even Chris Benoit above Triple Hl of whom were better wrestlers, in ring performers and had more memorable matches than HHH.

HHH is only where he is because he got lucky and was friends and fuck buddies with the right people. If anything I have far less respect for him now due to his questionable booking strategies behind the scenes and if rumours are to be believed on this website his backstage persona is no different to his character onscreen.

A work or not he is deluded if he thinks he is in any position to criticise any star past or present for not being the top dog when in all honesty he was never THE MAN either.

End of rant.
