I was thinking about this the other day.
Lets say Triple H decides to leave to WCW with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall and eventually becomes the NWO version of his DX character.
One plus is that Triple H loved the NWA days, as shown in his Reign of Terror Era.
Do you think he would do well? I see a ceiling myself, possibly at best as a WCW US Champion holder.
It would be interesting how he would do politically at that time too. I mean when you have Hogan and Nash in there, and later Goldberg, Triple H might not have the pull unless he dates/marries Ted Turners daughter.
What do you guys think?

Above Jeff Jarrett, below Hogan/Nash/Hall/Goldberg
Not as over with fans as DDP, but probably in about the same card placement

His success would be simply Terrorizing.

On the politics side.
For the plus he was friends with Nash and Hall on the negative side Hogan.
So due to Hogan I doubt he ever gets a world title reign while he is around. Nash might push him to one when he has the book.
He certainly wouldn't be the Ultimate AsskickerTM, but he'd probably still have a decent enough career, he got his first world title before he even started dating Steph, after all.

Depends on how well he got on with Hogan.
Bischoff would probably like him, given he hated that Nash and Hall drank all the time, then would give Hogan a beer so Bischoff couldn't bust them over it. Triple H would have probably been the in-between based on that.

He would have married Ted Turner

I think Triple H would have fit well during the final days of WCW when Booker T and Scott Steiner was in the main event scene.
I could also see him as being part of the 4 Horsemen.

He would have ended up in the Horsemen because Flair liked him, likely in the slot Mongo occupied once he got jacked up to the size he was at the beginning of his career/Triple H era. He may have been the guy that turned on them to join the NWO because he's someone who always made the best moves politically and would have had a few world title matches with Goldberg as a result. Triple H would have had an absolutely solid career in WCW, a mainstay at US title level, but he would haver have been booked at the expense of the company the way he was in the WWE in the 2000s, he's not a guy who can carry a company, no matter what his supporters may think.
He would have gotten a push on Smackdown in 2003, after being torn down and rebuilt, much like Booker was, likely being the guy to transition the belt from Eddie/Benoit to Orton/Cena... That is assuming Flair didn't do to him what he did to Cena, using his influence to turn him from a clean living teetotaller into a hard drinking party guy, as we've seen with guys like Jake, Scott Hall and Marty Jannetty, it's hard to get a prolonged title push if management don't trust you to stay sober.

Upper mid-card at best. Maybe a few teases with the title. Trips is a better worker than this forum gives him credit for, but a lot of that is because he still had to put in the work even when politicking in WWE. At WCW, it was pretty largely a boys club, and while he was in tight with Hall and Nash he wouldn't have gotten terribly far. Hogan would have put a stop to that.
Thing is though, I think Triple H knows that. It's why he stayed where he was. He could have jumped ship - he was a pretty low on the card guy in line for a push, but still not much of anybody when the curtain call happened. If he'd pushed for it, he probably could have jumped ship shortly after Hall and Nash and rode the nWo bandwagon, but I think he knew there was more opportunity for someone like him in WWE.

It would have been cool when Terra Ryzing and the rest of De-Volution X rolled up outside RAW in an armoured personnel carrier and demanded that HBK be released.

Probably would've topped out in the upper-midcard. He's friends with Hall and Nash, sure, but how much did that really help Waltman? I doubt Hogan, Savage, etc would've helped elevate him. Hell, it's been said by alot of people that HBK would've floundered in WCW due to politics if he jumped, and he was more over in 96/97 then Hunter was.

Depends. In this scenario, does he go to the WWF first, then come back? Or does he stay straight through without leaving in early 95?

Being friends with Hall and Nash didn't do much for Waltman, but then again, neither did hurting his neck. And I definitely think he would have had trouble penetrating Hogan's inner circle. I could see him hitting that "Scott Steiner/Booker T." territory, though, where he gets the mega-push late in the company's life because f*** it, they're all WCW's got.

I dunno, Waltman did become Cruiserweight champion in WCW, didn't he? He obviously didn't have anything to the level of his D-X success yet, but he was over 1-2-3 Kid levels.

I agree, he's a better worker than people give him credit for and probably would have done alright in WCW. I think it would have interesting to see what he would have done there and he would have certainly had better matches, since WCW had better workers. But if he had stuck too closely to Hall and Nash, I think it would have bit him in the ass(making him the scapegoat like Syxx), either forcing him back to WWE or maybe even distancing himself from them. Knowing that he is a master politician, I think he would have figured it out.
