Your hating on HHH too much
Honestly mate, the backstage politics, insecurity, resume and careers he has ruined speak volumes; don't be fooled by the NXT charade. Batista's touched on it during his promo this week to, often what makes a good promo is when the lines are blurred between a shoot and kayfabe. But I will never be fooled by HHH having followed his career from day one the stuff which we are aware of factually that has occurred in the ring in feuds he was involved in and interviews with wrestlers who crossed his path or his positioning in the company. There is nothing he can do which will ever make me forgive him the same way how [MENTION=133315]Hitman[/MENTION] feels about Hogan, HHH also planted the seeds in Vinces mind regarding the Montreal Screwjob; quite a few people don't know this, but when they do it is easy to put 2 and 2 together when you look at how Bret still has animosity till this day towards HHH when he has forgiven both Shawn and Vince.
These are his highlights:
- Marriage to Stephanie
- Being the architect of the Montreal Screwjob, he pitched the idea to Vince.
- Firing CM Punk on his wedding day and forcing him to leave by making his working life a living hell.
- First Heel in the history of Wrestlemania to go over in a main-event when The Rock had so much momentum at the time, subsequently left the arena after ECW style trash was being thrown at him.
- In a feud which had racial undertones where HHH was belittling Booker T for his past and implying that african american are all crooks who deserved to be locked up while someone like himself deserves the very best, then he'd go on to WM and beat Booker thus proving his claims to be true in the confines of kayfabe.
- Golberg was an unstoppable force in WCW, the moment he came to WWE; Triple H periodically destroyed his aura and mystique.
- Beat Brock Lesnar on his Wrestlemania return after he had become the undisputed UFC world champion
- RVD: He was one of the biggest stars to come out with so much momentum in the controversial WCW v WWF storyline, in a high profile match with HHH he was defeated and sent back to the mid-card
- Kane: Every time he was on the brink of super-stardom HHH buried him between 2001-2004, HHH beat him multiple times and famously unmasked the fan favourite turning him heel.
- The Mizz: There is actual footage off HHH refusing to shake his hand right after he won the world title !!! until he realised he was on camera lol when you see this, it's not hard to believe the dirt sheets and past interviews where he reportedly talks down the entire locker-room constantly and puts himself on a pedestal.
- Chris Jericho had one hell of a career which should have been even better on the level of an Austin or Rock had it not been for HHH who had a weird vendetta against him purely because he made the switch to WCW, HHH would bury him on and off screen, never allowing him to take off every time he found momentum; Jericho was more qualified to be positioned alongside Rock/Austin during those days but HHH prevented that, Jericho also speaks about this in his book when it came to how petty HHH was towards him.
- Scott Steiner: Nothing more needs to be said.
-Championships: You look at the number of championships he has won and their length, his insecurity couldn't become more adamant when the names listed above were far more qualified then him to be given the same opportunities.
- Wrestling ability: He has been working the same style and pace since 1996 and has not evolved at all, without the smokes and mirrors in the form of gimmick matches or superior in-ring talents he is in capable of having a good match and it often results in ruining the reputation of his opponents because HHH has this idea in his mind that he is both Ric Flair and Harley Race combined, recall his match with Reigns at mania during a time when he had so much heat; HHH proceeded to stink the joint by trying to force an epic pre-meditated 30 min match, there is no 2nd gear or ability for him to be flexible with the layout, he needs someone like a Shawn, Bryan or Benoit for example to help him along the way in singles action; despite his experience the ring IQ is very very poor till this day.
-Promos: He can be good on promos if he's not on every week because there is no creativity in that small brain of his.
Myth
We should forgive HHH because he a) put Batista over and b) the NXT roster
a) Batista was Vinces pet project which he wasn't going to be able to sabotage regardless but he gave into primarily so he could take all the credit in the world after Batista came up as an option from OVW to form Evolution
b) This is a good one because it compliments a) really well. For the same reason, the one thing which has always alluded HHH has been adulation from the smark fan base; but not anymore, while the NXT idea on the surface comes from a place of good will, it is not out of this world to say that they get a chance at the big time also because HHH's ego gets a big massage especially when the fans and talent themselves owe it to him. I do agree that this is the best way to contain his ego because it could be so much worse.
But this just a small example of his deceitful ways, so forgive me if I am hating him too much but am sure majority of the long term fans will not blame me for it. The one guy I will give him credit for putting over is Benoit at WM 20, the respect he had for him and his stabilises was genuine for once.
