Originally I hated it but came to accept it once Foley made him look like a star.
Bruce Prichard is his biggest ass kisser but even he admits that he was against giving Trips the belt because of how bad and long the promos were, that every f***ing week it was something like “My name uh is Triple H, I am the game uh, this is my world uh, I am the business uh!”

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

I think people forget how damn good he was from late 99 until the quad tear. His match quality in 2000 was absolutely fantastic.

Yeah he wasn’t a true main eventer until he aligned with Stephanie and then beat Foley at the Rumble. That cemented it. Prior to that he wasn’t main event level over.

It didn't even seem like the company was behind HHH's push in late 1999. Look at how horribly he was booked. At one point he lost the #1 contender spot to Chyna (!, did not beat Austin initially, and then once he got the title he immediately lost to Vince. HHH was not over enough to be booked this badly. I think it also hurt him that his push had to follow some all time wacky and money drawing stuff like Austin/Vince and the whole Ministry insanity. It's like going from that to having HHH cut dreary and boring promos every week.
But yeah, by Jan. 2000 Foley put him over big and finally cemented him.

I didn't think he was ready for that spot.

In August, I didn't think he was a main eventer at all.
By March, I did.
Foley and Rock helped a lot to cement him, but then that helped Rock get over even more. Can't stress how much us then kid marks were rabid for Rock to beat HHH for that belt.

For those of you that didn't buy HHH as a main eventer, who would you have put in his place? Jarrett? Billy Gunn?
