However, there are other times where, regardless of who's fault it is, he has been shoved into the main event and overstayed the welcome. The biggest run I can remember was from 03-04. He should have jobbed to Booker T at at Mania 19, and should have stepped down the card when Benoit finally won. Neither happened, and neither men ever met or surpassed the level of success they seemed on their way to during those respective runs.

The idea that he "made" Sheamus is laughable. He beat Sheamus, who was already booked as a fluke to that point, clean, at Mania, then loses the next month after pre match shenanigans, only to come back and write off the entire feud with a throwaway Pedigree. I don't really feel Sheamus ever got that one, definitive win over Triple H.

There were also other opportunities to give guys a rub that were missed completely. The most recent that I can recall being Curtis Axel. He slaps the kid down his rear, then dominates him in a match, only to have a few moves flare up his "concussion", with the match ending and Axel looking like schlub in winning by fluke.

Then there's my favorite. Randy Orton finally gains momentum going into Mania 25, hotter than he had ever been, only to job to Triple H at Mania, and never regaining that steam as a heel, and never really having that one defining victory. While Orton is to be blamed, as well as creative for being trigger happy, for his flopped push in 04, he was more than ready to win at Mania, and instead lost.

I also do not recall a legitimate, defining win for Jeff Hardy agains Triple H, either. Not saying it never happened, but the only thing I remember is a roll up victory.

Then again, he's essentially been a job machine the last few months, cleanly jobbing to DB and the Shield in consecutive PPV's, and more than likely jobbing to Roman Reigns at SS later this year.

So, like I said, good and bad. I think he's more innocent than not. He did have to carry schlubs like Goldberg, Steiner and Nash to matches nobody cared to see, while the better in ring talent was on SmackDown!, which is hard to blame him for. There were times were he should have stepped out of the way, but at the end of the day, especially recently, I think he's breaking about as close to even as a guy with his status, tenure and track record could.
Stop using job so fucking much, you sound like a moron
