I know it's fun to joke about HHH (and I'm very guilty of it), but I'm sure he doesn't care. So much has happened to him since then. He's made millions, main evented and won tons of matches/titles, got married, had children. I can't picture the man playing with his daughter on auto-pilot, while seeting with anger in the back of his mind over losing a fake wrestling match to the Ultimate Warrior 17 years ago. That would be pretty damn funny, and sad, if it was the case. * ULTIMATE WARRIOR..WRESTLEMANIA 12..PEDIGREE NO SOLD...ULTIM..WRESTLEMA..PEDIGREE NO SOLD..AAAAHH!!*  |

Warrior was a household name at one time, even bigger then Hogan in the late 90s (89-90).. I don't EVER remember Triple H being one, or even CLOSE to one.
Anyways.. Yea Im sure Trips is pissed about that job. Wasn't he complaining about it 4-5 years after it happened on one of those WM episodes they had in 2000 or something? It was mentioned on the "Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" dvd

Conversely, it could be that Warrior is the one obsessing over it.
He might think "I can't believe that jabroni I beat in 58 seconds at Wrestlemania has taken over the damn company while I'm stuck ranting about gays!"

That was the wrestling equivalent of Mr. Incredible telling Buddy to "go home". I imagine that after the match, Hunter is sitting alone in the locker room, choking back tears. He looks in the mirror, slowly his sorrow becomes anger and that anger turns to motivation as he utters two words... "NEVER. AGAIN."
It would be these two words that change his destiny. He grabbed it by the neck and forces it to kneel before him. When a writer proposed turning him face to fight the planned Angle/Stephanie alliance, he said "NEVER. AGAIN." When the time to decide whether Booker T was going over at Mania, "NEVER. AGAIN." When he sees Jericho across him in the ring, "NEVER. AGAIN." When Brock came back to the WWE, "NEVER. AGAIN." When he wants to put on a 45 minute classic with Stephanie but his body is calling for the bell at 15, "NEVER. AGAIN."
At Wrestlemania, he looked weak. After that night, never again.

Who knows? Piper still talks about jobbing to Larry Hennig in his first match.

The idea that H loses sleep over jobbing back in the day is absurd. Many big-time players have been squashed in < one minute. None of them give a shit I am sure; they've all had great careers. Ultimate Warrior squashed Honky Tonk Man (I was there!) Ultimate Warrior squashed Hunter Hearst Helmsley Diesel squashed Bob Backlund (I was there!) Kane squashed Chavo Guerrero Sheamus squashed Daniel Bryan ...I must be forgetting someone... EDIT: I knew it! Andre won at WrestleMania III in record time! The ref counted three! Why was the match allowed to continue? |

Just once I wanna see someone no-sell a pedigree like Warrior in a smark city (and not be Brock), that guy would probably be a hero in that crowd forever

I like HHH, but picturing him in the locker room after being beaten by Warrior and trying not to cry is just hilarious. |

Maybe it's a trap. Trips is acting like he's ok with the warrior working with the wwe in order to ocnvince him to have one last match. We gotta warn him and Alex Wright!!!!

I know it's fun to joke about HHH (and I'm very guilty of it), but I'm sure he doesn't care. .........he apparently obsessed over a "solid B+" comment made by a dirt sheet reporter for at least 10 years, yet he doesn't over losing his 1st WrestleMania match in a squash to a pain in the ass blow-hard who walked out on McMahon numerous times?!? |

I read pretty much this exact thread on the WCW Compuserve site in relation to Hulk Hogan in the summer of '97.

I truly don't understand how anyone can actually believe this story. HHH cares so much about a line that a dirt sheet reporter used 10 years ago on him that his wife would use it on Daniel Bryan? Where is the connection here? Maybe if she had said HHH was an A+ or if he had said something in the last 10 years since he's apparently heard the comment then it might make sense or at least have some kind of merit to it. I'd more believe that Stephanie just actually understands how a normal grading system works. To answer the question I truly doubt HHH really thinks about it too much. Why is it we credit him for bridging the gap between Bruno and Vince and bringing in all this new talent and old legends but Warrior must've been brought in by someone else? |

Whenever Warrior is inducted into the Hall of Fame, when they trot the inductees out at 'Mania, I hope Triple H attacks Warrior from behind, drags him to the ring, with referee in tow, & hits the Pedigree to get that monkey off his back. Triple H celebrates hitting the Pedigree and Warrior no-sells it yet again, causing Triple H to lose it in the way only he can. Warrior gets him in the Gorilla Press and pins him to become the new COO.

I really like the idea that the title of COO is defended under hardcore title rules because it's the absolute only way I can understand how the kayfabe company is so confusing. |

Is this really so preposterous where a few days ago HHH told a story about a Pro Wrestling Torch article from 1994 (or earlier, when he was in WCW), quoting it verbatim? |

I'd more believe that Stephanie just actually understands how a normal grading system works. I don't see how it's absurd. Take Michael Jordan for example. He is notorious for never, EVER forgetting even the smallest slight, and using it as motivation to become better and better. If Triple H remembered that perceived slight, and found it condescending, why wouldn't he think it might be good to use in the Bryan storyline where Steph was supposed to come off as condescending? That's a big part of being creative, channeling your real life experiences and feelings. |

I like to imagine Triple H loses ALL his sleep over it, because the notion of him being that petty is hilarious.
in all honesty, yeah it probably still bugs him but I don't think he dwells on it too much.

I doubt he worries about it. Just because he mentions it on the Warrior DVD doesn't mean he still lets it bother him...I mean it was the Ultimate Warrior DVD, it was a relevant conversation topic.
Remember when Big Show beat Kurt Angle cleanly in under two minutes despite at the time Show only being a comedy character...well I doubt Angle cares either...everyone jobs at some stage.

Triple H knows it was good for business.
I'm sure he wishes Warrior stuck around though so he could get his win back.
