I wouldn't say Triple H hogged too much air time back then. Rock was leaving to go Hollywood, Stone Cold was retiring. So WWE needed a veteran guy to step up to the plate and hold things down, and Triple H was the guy. Actually, that was when he was hitting his peak, he was the #1 heel in the business for quite some time. He had been working towards being the top guy for a while, and it was his time.
Triple H being the top heel did what it was supposed to do, and proof that he wasn't into hogging the spotlight is that once he reunited with HBK as DX in 2006, he never again was the top guy. He was content with being face, doing the DX thing, main eventing once in a while, and that was it.
