Is he in the same league as future HOF'ers HBK, Undertaker, Jericho ( ;D) and The Rock?
For me, I don't see it. He's just a guy who's been around for a long time. Yes he's won 13 champions (?), but nothing he's done in his career has screamed Hall of Fame. He's like Jeff Hardy. He's just someone who's been "there"
I know he's obviously gonna get inducted when he retires, I just want other opinions.

Hey, he's done more for the business than Koko B. Ware.
For that matter, I could see the Hardy Boyz getting inducted in a decade or two (assuming Jeff doesn't self-destruct too publicly).

Yes, I believe that he is.
I know there are a lot of HHH haters out there but I firmly believe that he has accomplished a lot in the amount of time he's been in WWE.
Yes, you can say that it was because he's the boss's son in law..but honestly, you can't take it away from the man that he is talented in what he does.

He's HOF level on every single level obviously. I wonder what would happen though if he and Stephanie had a messy divorce.
He'll be inducted by his daughter the youngest and first female world heavyweight champion ever at age 16 after she goes on a Goldberg type streak of running through the competition.

Unquestionably. He's a stellar worker, amazing on the mic, he's done a whole lot for the business...even if he wasn't with Steph, I'd say he absolutely deserves a spot.

Of course he is. What more does he need to do to become HOF worthy? He's held practically every title in the company and been involved in the biggest angles. He's a top notch wrestler and performer.

Being a big draw, which Triple H has never been and will never be. But then again, it's not like the Hall of Fame means anything, since it's under Vince's control and Vince's alone. If it were a legitimate Hall of Fame that was completely unbiased, I doubt Triple H would be inducted. He's been around a long time, but he's just been there. The Undertaker has been around for a long time, but he's never really drawn anything, either. The people I would see being inducted into a Hall of Fame would be Andre, Hogan, Flair, Austin and The Rock and maybe Mick Foley, too. Triple H? Chris Jericho? Nah. And WrestleMania 13 headlined by the Undertaker might be the worst drawing WrestleMania in history, but it could be wrong and too lazy to check. And Goldberg in WCW could have been huge if it weren't for bad booking killing his momentum entirely after StarrCade 1998. For as long as it lasted, the Streak was a moneymaker. |

The HOF isn't a barometer of who drew the biggest buyrates. Besides, HHH, Jericho, 'Taker, they've all drawn bigger numbers than some of the guys already inducted into the HOF. Yes, it may be under Vince's control, but it's still about showing respect and recognition to workers who've made a significant contribution to the business. |

Outside of any crossover appeal he may have held, not regarding his relationship to the McMahons, and just simply based on his wrestling and mic performances?
Yes, easily.

I'm sorry -- I mean as little disrespect as possible, booker man -- but do you know anything about wrestling? |

Yes, you can say that it was because he's the boss's son in law..but honestly, you can't take it away from the man that he is talented in what he does. This is what I don't like about this board. You can't dislike HHH or Cena or Taker without people calling you a hater. What, do I have to get behind people I don't enjoy watching just so you can be happy? That said, I believe he is HOF matterial, just not "top tier". What I mean is that, while he has accomplished a lot, he hasn't had anything going on for his character since he beat Foley in 2000. Ever since then, he's been a top dog but hasn't really stood up in promos or matches. The angles he's been involved always seem kinda bland and one sided, whether he's on the winning side or the losing side (except for the wonderfully booked DX-Legacy feud). That being said, I don't know what would have happened had he not married Steph in 2003, but given his previous accomplishments, I say he probably would've craweld his way to the HOF picture anyway. |

Hell yes. A top Main Eventer for 10 years solid (not to mention a stellar mid-card career before that too) who has put on awesome match after awesome match is a damn sure fired candidate for me.

Um, is there even a debate. He's accomplished a hell of a lot, been a huge draw for over a decade, held pretty much every major title, been involved in pretty much every type of match, is popular, a great role model for the company, is well known outside of wrestling, is a fantastic wrestler and awesome on the mic. To say he isn't HOF worthy is baffling.
