I've watched some videos of triple h after austin and rock took off for good. all the way up til probably his feud with punk in 2012.
how can he look himself in the mirror and agree with the E or allow the E to put him on equal terms with rock and austin? he's not even close. his promos put me to sleep and his matches are about as average as they come. i won't trash him to the extent that bret hart did, but i can somewhat see where he's coming from.
every promo usually ends with "YOUVE MADE THIS PERSONAL! NO LONGER IS THIS ABOUT BUSINESS! ITS PERSONAL! NOT BUSINESS BUT PERSONAL!"
I agree....HHH is overrated as hell and has been overprotected throughout his career. He likes to say that he paid his dues after the Kliq incident in MSG and play videos from 95 when he beat the hog farmer in that pig farm match to support his argument.
Lol I don't mind Triple H, but I agree that the WWE tries to prop him up as something he's not. He's won a lot of matches he shouldn't have won and was way to protected for a guy who's not really that big of a deal.
its not entirely his fault, because the system pushes him to be greater than he is.
i look at him and just laugh because he just isnt anything that special. hell, even in DX in 1998 when they were white hot. i loved the outlaws and Xpac. i didn't give 2 shits about hunter. i always wanted heel rock to beat the shit out of him.
I don't really care since I'm a mark for HHH. He isn't on the same level as Austin or Rock but he was part of the next tier.
In my opinion it was better during the years of HHH's reign of terror compared to being subjected to WCW oldies like the original NWO with name power in the same spot.
He did nothing for me in DX. Initially he looked like a C- player who shined HBK's shoes and later on he was no way as over as NAO, X-Pac or even his bodyguard Chyna for that matter.
I do not think the WWF or even Triple H himself thinks he is on the same league as Austin or Rock. IMO, he is in the next tier along with Shawn, Taker, Savage and Bret.
If there is one wrestler that is overrated by WWE, I have to say it is The Undertaker. Seeing him on the WWE.com Mount Rushmore ahead of The Rock was a joke. Seeing him second on WWE Top 50 Superstars of All Time ahead of Hogan, Austin and Rock was just too much. Taker is a great wrestler but he is not in the same league as Hogan, Flair, Austin or Rock.
I think he's been pulling away from believing it himself recently, but for a long time, he really did think he was in that category. But even still, every now and then you get some weird promotional thing that puts his face in that category and it's laughable.
HHH isn't the best in ring guy or best on the mic but I really do like him. He's one of the greats, not top 10..but great.
