Is Triple H realistically a top 50 wrestler?

[psychokiller]

If we're talking just the past 15 years he would be, but how about starting from 1985? I know WWE tries to make it seem like he's one of the greatest of all time, but what do you think?


Edit: I changed it from all time to 1985-present since there's no way to know for sure throughout the history of the business. But let's say from the first Wrestlemania to the present time.

[MrBRulzOK]

If we're talking all time and we're including all professional wrestlers in the history of the business, Triple H probably would be lucky to crack the top one-hundred. But then again you could say the same thing for alot of current era wrestlers.

[saintpat]

Probably. Not top 10 or top 20 but surely top 50.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

In the last 15 years? I don't see how he couldn't crack the top 50.

[Sparkybob]

This question is impossible to answer since I highly doubt anyone here has seen every wrestler that has ever wrestler so my shot in the dark says no.

[Crappler El 0 M]

If we are talking all of history and all over the world, he may not be. If we are centered more on mainstream, TV and PPV-based North American wrestlers from 1985 to today (WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA), then of course he is in the top 50.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Even without the WWE tendency to embiggen his achievements he'd be up there in the top 50 best WWE/F guys, I'd think.

Across all companies? Probably not.

[Phosphor Glow]

He's in my personal top 10, so I'm already pretty biased. But I would say in the last 15 years, absolutely. Of all time, of any wrestler? I'd still say probably, yeah. Lowish on the list, but he's a damn fine talent.

[Deleted]

I dunno.
Even in the Top 50 of the past 15 years, I can't help but think if someone as mediocre as Hunner is on it...who else would be?

[saintpat]

Counting down to someone posting a top 50 list with 48 Japanese guys on it.

[psychokiller]

I changed it instead from all time to starting with 1985 to present day. Would he rank in a top 50 starting from the first WrestleMania.

[Straight Edge Scrotum]

Yes.

[Raskovnik]

f*** that, he's top 10 at least IMO. He's such a great heel that people on this very board won't shut up about how much they hate him whenever he comes up.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Ooh, I didn't even consider workers from other countries. In that case, maybe not. As far as American workers go, absolutely.

EDIT: Just saw that you changed the time frame. In that case, no, he'd barely make the top 100.

[The Baltimore Staircase]

He's in the top 10. 4th in fact. He's fourth, out of ten.

[BigJerichool222]

Absolutely.

It's a joke to NOT consider him one because he buried people in 2003.

Wow really? You'd put him above Hogan, Austin, Cena, Rock, Taker, Bret, HBK, Foley, Flair, Sting, Piper, Savage?

["Trickster Dogg" James Jesse]

In WWE? Absolutely. All time across all promotions? Not at all.
