Even when he assumed the leadership of DX he felt secondary the group as a whole was a big deal but nobody in that group was Main Event material at least not without Shawn Michaels. He got his main event push literally after all the big guns had done everything. And by the time he got up there wrestling was cooling off. Just to remind myself that this is completely true I have old TV guides where they featured wrestlers on them. Triple H isn't on any of the covers he isn't even mentioned inside the book.


I'd go as far as to say that Triple H, both in front of the camera and behind it, is a big part of why wrestling cooled off. He put the block on lots of embers and he also sucked as a babyface in 2002 and doing his Ric Flair cosplay.
