I agree and disagree. Yes, Bret Hart has to be included as a factor in comparison, but you also have to factor in his age, and his fate in wrestling if he didn't have that concussion, but instead think of WCW going down and if Vince would've signed him back. I just dont Bret Hart could've made it as far as Trips is right now.

I don't think Bret would have made it as far as Triple H. Bret was unwilling to change with the times. He had the same bit through out his career, plus he simply didn't keep up on the politics of wrestling which is why he was forgotten about in WCW.

I agree, Bret would never have had as many championships i just ment that the amount of times champ doesnt really matter for being the greatest.

I was more of saying by the time Bret got kicked, his career was already over. I mean he could have wrestled longer and just tarnished his reputation by not being relevant.

Triple H is great.
Not the greatest ever, though. |

Semi side question: But does anyone happen to know who has been world champion longest in their career (ie adding up each persons title reign for a combined total)?

No, Triple H would not be the greatest of all time. Or at least, having the most world title reigns would not be what makes him as the greatest of all time if that's what he ends up being. Wrestling is about so much more than title reigns.
Figure it this way: are the Dudley Boys the greatest tag team ever? |

Triple H is definitely great, but it is not defined by his number of title reigns.
Shawn Michaels, for example, is considered the best ever by many. Many others would tie him with, or place him right behind, Ric Flair. He's only held the title 3 or 4 times, and not always for long periods of time. Titles don't define greatness. |

Titles should be given to greatness, and not completely compose it.

I thought I heard him saying he wouldn't beat flair out of respect.

All I know is if world titles define greatness, David Arquette is a greater wrestler than Ted Dibiase and Scott Hall and equally as great as Curt Hennig and Ricky Steamboat.
