Who has been the biggest beneficiary of revisionist history?

I say Triple H. Revisionist history has allow him to position himself as the greatest gift a wrestling ring has ever seen when anyone who grew up with him knows that that's not the case. What drives me really nuts is that it has seemingly worked people who didn't grow up seeing Triple H get to where he is now just see him as this sort of legendary figure.
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.
