HHH sucks. He has to be the most overrated piece of shit on the WWE.

Triple H is a 13 time world champion. Triple H is a man that has a resume like none other. He has won every significant title atleast once, and has beaten the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, The Rock, John Cena, Randy Orton, Bill Goldberg, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, Vladimir Kozlov, Chris Jericho, and countless of other wrestlers of tremendous stature. Triple H is the epitome of a work horse and doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' If he did - then he probably wouldn't have come back from BOTH of his quadracept injuries. Whether you want to admit it or not, Triple H truly is a "student of the game"...and for better or for worse, he really is that damn good. |

Plus his matches are so fucking boring. And his promos are all the same. He hasn't done anything of mention since 2002.

that's my main beef. i've liked HHH since his DX days, but he's gotten so stale since he became The Game (no, not in the beginning, but for a few years now). i think he's still got gas left in the tank and can put on great matches, but he needs to reinvent his character. give me a reason to care and i will.

That, and he needs a HBK or someone to have an actual good match. I too liked him in his D-X days, but it's the same thing, you've been the character for years, it kinda gets old.

Triple H is a great wrestler, don't get me wrong, but given how good he is, he's had far more success than he should. The man has won more World Championships in a WWE ring than anyone in history. The next closest to his 13 reigns would be The Rock, with 9. It's not even close. Triple H should then, at least on paper, be the greatest wrestler of all-time. He's not. His career isn't as logical as it should be.
That being said, there is so much to respect about the man. Regardless of how he got there, he's been at the top of the wrestling world for almost a decade now. He has set all the records, and he just recently walked out of the WrestleMania main event as the WWE Champion. Yeah, it's a fixed sport, but it's fixed to work for him. The man needs an interesting program, and fast. Whether or not that involves a heel turn is debatable. I'm surprised, because Triple H has been a face for like three years now. This is Triple H...the heel of the past decade. But yeah, I can't remember the last time I watched a Triple H match and thought "that was fucking great." And most of the time I do see them, it's often great because Triple H loses. Sometimes he forgets that. |

He has been a heel from 1999 to 2001, and then from mid 2002 to 2006. That is the whole point of being a heel, to make it mean something when the babyface beats you.

Yes, but you also have to have the babyface beat you. The WWE have protected Triple H far too much in the past. He has gone over when he really shouldn't have, and for some reason, it is far more noticeable when the decision involves Triple H. Usually because it's such a high-profile decision, and someone really misses out, and big opportunities aren't capitalised on.

And most of them are with guys who are better workers than HHH.
Benoit, Jericho, HBK, Stone Cold. Or guys who were better entertainers such as Mick Foley or The Rock. |

Come come now, H has a higher workrate than Austin. Throwing punches doesn't gas you near as much doing moves. H's wrokrate > Austins.

Nah Austin was way more electrifying and entertaining. And when it actually came down to it, and when he had to, was a way better technical wrestler. Watch his heel run in '01.

I always found Stone Cold to be more entertaining in he ring than HHH. Is HHH maybe the better technical wrestler? Yes. Is he the better entertainer? No.
Stone Colds matches were better worked in the sense they were more entertaining. Stone Cold wasn't terrible, he focused more on the psychology of the match and less on the technical aspect. |

Both Triple H and Austin brought a lot of tremendous elements to the proverbial table, and I think that you need to respect that. |
