Hate 'Em or Love 'Em: Triple H

And what about Booker T at WrestleMania XIX. You have a point about Triple H not holding the belt, but he has arguably been more of a fixture in the main event than even people who have. The man pretty much refuses to go anywhere but RAW, and no one not named John Cena has held the belt there for any substancial about of time. He did put Batista over, but that would have been hard to fuck up. He did provide a stable for Randy Orton and Batista to do an internship, of sorts, in, but he also fucked up Randy Orton's momentum in 2004 pretty good. HBK made people care about HBK, Ric Flair made people care about Ric Flair, and no one cared about DX, did they? If they did, then Triple H can't take sole responsibility for that. He shares in some of it, but so does HBK and the DX name itself. What really annoys me about Triple H, is that the man has been made to look like the best in the business, and yet he doesn't really even draw.

Jericho never needed to be put over by HHH. Yeah, he should have won more matches but was that booking or evil HHH sucking Vince's dick? I hate to break it to you, but London and Kendrick aren't good enough to carry a global wrestling promotion. They are great wrestlers, but they can't work the stick and have been given countless things to run with on SmackDown.

Randy Orton killed his own reign when he couldn't stand on his own without evolution. Any argument saying HHH didn't make Orton and Batista is a load of bullshit.

HBK's return in 02 was pretty shitty until the HHH feud started. He was carrying the bastardized nWo on his back in a non-wrestling role. HHH/HBK carried the WWE for 2 years and re-established HBK to a new generation of fans. It also helped propel evolution and Chris Benoit.

Ric Flair was a GM who ended up being a manager and pissing on his legacy. Triple H helped get Ric Flair involved in an angle that made him matter and re-established him to a new generation of fans.

Yeah, DX's return did actually entertain some people who weren't so damn high on their smarky horse. Some of the shticks were corny, but a lot of it was good and helped keep all of RAW off of Cena.

Triple H is one of the best in the business. Just because he is too good to work ROH or because he can't do a 450 plancha while sucking the IWC's dick. I also believe that if it wasn't for Triple H, The Rock would have been nothing more Stone Cold's lackey. Triple H was the heel that helped solidify The Rock through 2 times in his career.

People, like it or not, care about Hulk Hogan. As for Triple H? People unfortunately do not. Well, not as much as they should considering his "legacy."

Obviously people don't care about Triple H, he has never been over right?
