Triple H or HBK

[Mr. Nerfect]

Actually, I think Shawn Michaels will be remembered better. Outside of the industry, neither man means jack or shit, so you have to judge within it:

Triple H may have held more championships, but there is a taint over them. He was in control, and it's almost a Jeff Jarrett situation. A few World Championships in WCW almost doubled to the size he deserved.

Shawn Michaels, however, came back from a four year hiatus, he broke boundaries when he got to the top, and he's been a top guy in two separate eras. The man has also had some legendary and groundbreaking matches. When people learn about HBK and Triple H (as they probably will once they become wrestling fans), and HBK will get the "Holy shit! That guy was awesome!" memory.

I'm still of the opinion that when it's all said and done, Triple H won't even be remembered in the top ten. The guy is neither a massive draw or a super fantastic wrestler. He's great, but massively overrated, not only around here, but by the WWE themselves.

I'm not sure if I agree with you, Noid, but you've certainly given me something to think about and I like how you present your viewpoint. Nice.

Somethings wrong... I agree with almost every word you typed......I'm worried...

But he's such a major part of the business, I'm sure that he will continue to be remembered. Even if it's just artificially forcing him on us, that means that people in ten years are more likely to know him because they will try and put him on the same pedastal as Stone Cold and the likes. And to the majority of fans, that will be their major exposure.

Otherwise, I agree.
