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.

What are you talking about? HHH held the belt for a long time, and beat a slew of challengers for the belt. This made people want to see him lose the title more.
They used that for him to put over Goldberg, and then Benoit at Wrestlemania.
Later down the road, they used the same thing to have him put over Batista.

He also put over Cena and Hardy, although he didn't hold the title around then.

I disagree. I think people NEEDED to see Triple H lose the World Heavyweight Championship more so than wanted to see it. I'm not saying that Triple H should have lost the belt to any Joe (not Samoa) that challenged him, but there have been so many instances during the period of time I am talking about where a face lost so much momentum because Triple H went over when he really should have lost to them.
