Clearly some hairline jealousy going on here.
Edit: Fuck you for bringing this up already, CSL. |

Hahaha even the Canadian vanilla midget knows HHH sucks balls. Terrible wrestler. Shows where fucking the bosses daughter can take you.
Really though, without banging Steph HHH would be maybe a 2 time champion. He's very boring and nobody really cared when he "retired". That's why he's no more a great than Erik Watts. |

Get your gimmick straight, Gertie. If you are anti-vanilla midget, how can you be anti-HHH?

No gimmick. I'm a straight shooter bro.
Wow, this thread has gotten more of a reaction than HHH's retirement speech. |

What we need now is a blog post by Owenbrown with his reactions to decide if HHH is indeed great or if Bret is bitter.

In this interview Bret says:
"I look at [CM] Punk... I can look at certain wrestlers and I go, this guy is an innovator. Like a Rey Mysterio, who's done stuff that no one has ever thought of before. Punk has done stuff -- really unique moves and you go, 'gee I've never seen anything like that before.' They innovate all the time, and they create new sequences and moves and things. "Then you look at someone like Triple H. When I look at him -- he's always had a good look as far as his body went -- he always had a pretty muscular physique. But you look at someone like Hunter and you wonder, what has he really done. One move that he ever created that nobody ever saw before or some highspots or an idea for a match... He's mostly a guy that just showed up and they made him. He's always been a decent wrestler -- I would consider him a good wrestler and pretty talented. But great? I don't know, I don't think so. Listen. Bret Hart may be the best technical wrestler of all time. He may be the best at making wrestling look "real" without hurting his opponents (as he always says). But you look at Bret's career, and he didn't "innovate" much, and he certainly didn't creat new sequences and moves all the time. You look at most of Bret's matches, and he did the same moves. Superplex off the top rope. He and his opponent would come at each other and do a double clothesline where both would lay down while the referee counted, until one of the two would get up. Back breaker followed by the diving elbow off the 2nd rope. And sharpshooter. He'd incorporate a bulldog here and there, he'd dive to the outside sometimes, in 1997 he began doing the figure-four at the turnbuckle. But that was it. When you watch a Bret Hart match, you won't see too many "highspots". And if I may say so myself, Triple H has had more exciting matches than Bret did. For Bret, or anyone to say "What has Triple H really done?" is crazy, the man has a legacy. |

I agree with Bret.
Could never get into HHH matches. The guy can be very funny in skits and does a good job as an authority figure but thats about it. He has had big matches and headlines Mania but so have a lot of other people. |

Bret is not jealous, I think he's just cocky/arrogant and very sure of his ability.

This time you and I agree, however Triple H isn't great either hes always came across to me as a good support tier character, never a main eventer and during his time as the main focus in 2001 I had completely stopped watching the show.

He pretty much pulled a Hogan and made himself the focus of the show. WWF's era of pulling massive ratings ended shortly after.

I do not have a bias for either guy...to get that out there first
#1 i would like Bret for once to tell everyone who he thinks a great wrestler is, aside from himself because he will always tell you how great he was. But who else does he find great?? #2 i assume what Bret means is that he likes guys who do more move sets, more improvisation in a match who let the wrestling manuevers paint the picture as opposed to the story, the interviews, the build etc.. because from an unbiased standpoint that is where Bret lacked. Bret matches were typically better in ring and HHH matches generally had better builds and lead ins and frankly had more of a payoff after the bell IMO #3 at some point havent Bret and HHH wrestled??and if so...wouldn't that kill Bret's claim that he could have a great match with anyone? |

I hated the Michaels/HHH era DX. Unless they were intentionally trying to look/dress/act like the most annoying frat douchebags you've ever seen, then they were a right pair of weirdos. HHH going with Chyna before settling down with a beard in SMH makes sense if the whole DX thing was for him to act as gay as possible in public without ever having to come out.
Still, I enjoyed a lot of his more serious turn in 2000. It was his return to participate in the absolute shitting over the Undisputed Championship in 2002 that put me off him. |

After thinking about it I feel that if anybody was going to make those remarks only a select few people could get away with it with any credibility. Hart being one of them.
I still don't know to what level I agree with him, though. |

I see some feel this way but I never felt HHH was that big of a draw. I thought he was good for the hardcore fan (as was Bret and HBK) but he never reached casual fans like Hogan, Rock, SCSA and UT, who drew in more crowds, more ratings and were actually drawing money and attention. I suppose HHH and Bret are just different sides of the same coin in the respect. Bret was better in ring, HHH better on mic and storytelling, and both boring in their own ways.

This is just stupid. Bret's lost his mind.
- Triple H vs Austin at No Way Out 2002 (3 Stages of Hell) - Triple H vs Chris Benoit at No Mercy 2000 - Triple H vs Shawn Michaels at Summerslam 2002 (Street Fight) - Triple H vs The Rock at Judgment Day 2000 (Iron Man) Just to name a few off the top of my head. |

HHH vs Shawn 02'-04' rivalry had so many good matches alone. HITC, Last man standing, street fights etc..

Iron Man is hardly a gimmick in the same way the other 2 are. A compelling Iron Man match is harder to pull off than a non-gimmicked match if anything. It was also better than the Bret/Shawn Iron Man, which is saying something given that included Michaels as one of the wrestlers

The Rock-HHH iron man match was not that good.
Even though HHH single-handedly made The Rock in it. |
