I don't know. I've always seen him as 'the other guy' and it doesn't help that he carried the WWE in a lousy time with a bad main event scene that he totally dominated. As a performer he is a good wrestler, but not the best. His matches are always good, but barely ever great. He has very consistent matches, always delivering. But to me, Triple H has been at the same level for years. Never improving and never standing out. I'd like to compare him with a wrestler, but to be honest I can't remember anyone and that is the problem. In 20 years fans will look back on wrestling and will keep reading HHH's name, but not really knowing what exactely he did or who he was. He will be more of a name than a legend. Yea i'm sort of in this boat too. He'll defenitely go down as one of the smartest guys of all time, going from a never ending jobbing streak, to D-Generation X to marrying the boss's daugther and guaranteeing him a top spot for life. And like homeboy above says, his matches are good but barely ever great, i can't even think of a huge HHH 'moment' off the top of my head aside from the huge pop he got after coming back from his quad injury, but thats about all that sticks in my mind from that night, if you think of other Attitude top guys, Austin has Wrestlemania 13 and 14 under his belt as two of the biggest moments of his career that most people remember, The Rock has Wrestlemania 18, standing out big time as Corporate Rock that made him the star he is, HHH though, hmmmm....just a series of consistent matches, no promos too memorable. I guess it's a case of waiting and seeing - he'll go down fondly as a good wrestler and a smart man in my eyes - but not as incredibly popular as Rock or Austin. Agreed. Triple H is and always will be the guy who can go with the main draw, without being the the main draw himself. HHH vs Foley HHH vs Austin HHH vs Rock All great feuds, but the opponent was always the attraction. I don't and never will think of HHH as the focal point of the WWE. When they tried to make him into it in 2003 it really sucked. Plus, he hasn't been a great worker since 2000 (when he was phenomenal IMO). Since then he's been good to awful. Before his injury he was INCREDIBLY dull and repetetive, and has been phoning it in for over a year. |

Top 10 of all time.
Not the best in any departmet, but above average in every aspect of the business.
Sure, he didn't reach Austin or Rock's level of global (?) popularity, but he's on the side of those who shone a bit less brightly, but much longer. And that's a plus.
Super-Mega Stars came and went, while Trips was there to work with what he had.
The alledged backstage politicking will be forgotten, at least by those who don't hate him a priori .
