I'm near of the end of Hardcore Holly's new book and the stories about HHH are fucking incredible. Lost pretty much all of the respect for him after reding this. And please don't come at me and say that Holly was a jobber and he's just upset that he didn't achieve in WWE and shit.
These are just some parts from the book but there are many more stories about Hunter and Chyna ignoring the fans and would sign autographs only when the camera where on, etc.everything goes back to what Hunter wants. It’s all a game to him. He wasn’t satisfied just being in the business. He wanted a lot more and he set out to get it. This is just my perspective after seeing how everything played out backstage, mind you. Vince liked him, he ended up doing an angle in which he married the boss’s daughter, and when she started to have real feelings for him, what do you think he was going to do? I’m surehe does genuinely love her now but I’m not sure how genuine he was with her at the very beginning. I think he was in love with the business and saw it as his way to the top of the industry. He’s a smart fucker. He’s both good and bad for business.
He’s a great wrestler who knows what to do in the ring. I recently watched one of my matches against him from back in the Attitude era and it reminded me of just how good he is. He was always very gracious to me in the ring, very unselfish, and that’s because he understands how wrestling works, but he bases too many of his backstage decisions on how he feels about somebody. Vince bases his decisions on how much money he could make from a person or a situation; that’s the difference.
I want to like the guy — I really do. He’s great in the ring, nice to your face and fun to be around, but it’s hard to like him when you know about all of his backstage maneuvering and how he’s screwed with people’s lives. Hunter has buried many a good worker just because he didn’t like the guy. He nearly killed Cena right from the get go. When you think that Cena has been the company’s biggest cash cow for the last decade, it shows you how much Hunter knew about that deal.
He always buried Jericho, he nearly got him fired. So many guys could have been a lot more than they ended up being. Kane, Booker, RVD — all buried by Hunter. Rob Van Dam could have been huge. CM Punk is one of the top guys now but he could have been the guy. Even though Hunter never liked him, they had no choice but to go with Punk because he got over. You’ll notice that Hunter made sure to go over on him though, to make sure everybody knew Punk wasn’t on Hunter’s level. Where's the sense in that? It just took away Punk’s momentum when he was the hottest thing going. Punk could have made so much more money for the business if Hunter had the balls to put him over.
Bret Hart hit the nail on the head when he said that Hunter tries to keep all of the money for his cronies. When they started up D-Generation X again in 2006, Billy, Road Dogg, and X-Pac wanted to come back in but Hunter put the kibosh on that. He wanted to keep it to just him and Shawn so that they could split the merchandise royalties
two ways rather than five.
Consider this — in 2011, Hunter came back after a year out. Hi's first match was the second biggest match at ’Mania, against Undertaker. Then he wrestled a couple of matches, buried Punk, got a main event against his buddy Nash — who has no business being in the ring anymore — and came back again just in time for another huge payday at 2012’s ’Mania, against Undertaker again. His next match after that was the main event of SummerSlam against Brock Lesnar. Once again, a big money spot. Some of
the other boys are struggling and could have used that money and the exposure of wrestling guys like ’Taker and Brock. Hunter doesn’t need those paychecks, and the business doesn’t gain from him being in those matches. He keeps people down so that they can’t achieve success and make money for their families. It’s a real shame he feels the need to do that.
