Years ago I set up a livestream of the best of Triple H and had to admit most of them were good but he had good workers at the time to put him over.

And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

He makes his enormous dog ride in the trunk?

Also, I love the implication that HHH hasn't done anything nearly as bad as his Reign of Doom since then. That new DX poo poo with him and Shawn had a few good moments but was largely the absolute worst, most-cringeworthy garbage ever. I stopped watching for quite awhile during that run. For every really good thing HHH has done, he's got something equally as awful on the other side of the ledger.

Didn't this also happen with The Wrestler? Like, everyone in WWE was supposed to hate that movie until it got legit Oscar buzz, and then they couldn't get Mickey Rourke on Raw fast enough.

HHH is cool as poo poo. My favorite recent moment is when a storyline-concussed Trips still managed to dig deep and beat a freshly repackaged Curtis Axel, just a meaningless win over someone they were just starting to heat up, so he could show everyone he was still The Game even if Brock beat his rear end

E: actually I'm misremembering and Axel wins by technicalities, but all of the focus went to HHH. Such a smart mind for the biz

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Oh yeah, the match that ended with Triple H beating up Axel at ringside and throwing him into the ring, then going into a five minute "Whoa I'm concussed" bit and presumably being counted out while Axel was never seen again

I appreciate Triple H because he exposed me and probably a whole generation of wrestling fans to the overproducted, corporate mandated "fan favorite" archetype.

Without him, the Punks and Bryans wouldn't have been nearly as subversive and eventually embraced.

Triple H is great because a lot of guys aren't Triple H.

I think I heard the same things back in 08. The story from what I can remember was that Vince and other top WWE guys were paranoid that it would show the dark side of the wrestling business and people would make the connection and see that's how a lot of former stars that Vince employed in the 80's were living(drugs, bad living situations, poor health), if not that than not far from it anyway.

Then Vince embraced it because he's a junkie for mainstream attention.

Hey remember when HHH tried to convince people after the fact that he was the single most important member of DX and not HBK/New Age Outlaws/loving Chyna???

Hey remember when HHH tried to convince people after the fact that he was just as big a deal as The Rock and Steve Austin despite being an afterthought at their peak and only coming into his own when one of them stepped away?

Hey remember 2000-2010?

Hey remember when DX finally put over the Legacy?

Hey remember when HHH finally put Orton over at WM25?

Hey remember when HHH saw how hot Punk's angles had been and decided he wanted in on it too?

Hey remember when HHH saw how amazing the HBK/Taker matches were and decided he wanted in on it too?

Hey remember when HHH faced Brock Lesnar and tried to get the tearful farewell after a poo poo match?

Hey remember when HHH fought Sting and thought instead of a Sting comeback victory everybody wanted to see the loving geriatric NWO fight the retirement center DX, while HHH came out on top for no reason?

Hey remember when HHH faced Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania and was ineffective at getting the crowd to cheer for him and also put on a bad match and also let his wife do more to help Reigns than he did?



Foochs. HHH was bad, is bad, will be bad. Everyone is welcome to like him, but he will never win my heart. He is like a Goldberg to me. A GOLDBERG!:qq:

Literally the loving week after The Rock put him over in a huge upset before leaving for Hollywood again. If the brand extension didn't exist back then HHH probably would have just beaten him on Smackdown.

Settle down, Beavis.

I'm fine with people disliking or even hating HHH as long as they acknowledge they have selective memories about it. I don't even LIKE HHH that much but people acting like he was born on third and thinks he hit a triple are being really intellectually dishonest.

HHH was a guy who was driven but was never that cool or creative. He had a bunch of friends who were talented and cool and he used it to leverage a longer and more profitable career. He really is the bono of pro wrestling.
