Triple H was not critical to The Rock drawing in 2000 -- Rocky has always been worlds ahead in terms of star power and charisma. That's why The Rock conquered Hollywood and Triple H only did Blade 3.

Piper drew money; DX didn't. WWE revisionist history would tell you that he was a star. They have presented him like one even when there are no returns to it (1997-1999; 2002-).
I really just skimmed this thread, but what the hell? Piper drew money and DX didn't? I thought DX was over as fuck and also sold a ton of merchandise.
