Excellent point, shmuck. That's why it always bugs me when H calls himself "the best": Because Angle is a heel without cheating; he's a heel because he's a dick. If H was just a dick and a good wrestler, that'd be one thing. But even in the unnecessary handicap match that injured him, he couldn't win it clean, what with taking the fight outside the ring. I don't know how long it's been since I've seen "the best" actually WIN a match.
I disagree. It doesn't matter as much how he wins a match as it does how he handles it. Almost every heel champ calls themselves "the best." JBL called himself a "wrestling God." The difference is he was actually a good heel. While I hate the backstage guy, the persona, the on mic persona is fucking amazing. While the lack of ANY credible wins did hurt him, he was in a better boat than HHH because:
  1. People knew he would drop the belt eventually, not just drop it only to get it back 2 months later for an 8-10 month reign.
  2. His promos were gold. He may suck in ring compared to many of the talents on both shows, but he is one of the best with a mic.
  3. While his title reign was long, it wasn't totally monotonous. Triple H's title reign has really been almost 3 years, despite brief breaks in his ownership. Nobody's been able to get over as a possible champ because of the glass ceiling, and the fact that he's always the main event even when he loses the title. You may not like the folks vying for the title on Smackdown right now, but it's easier to believe they COULD become champion.
Honestly, if Triple H wasn't so boring, and if he didn't dominate the title ad nauseum, I wouldn't give a shit about him winning with a sledge hammer so often.
