Royal Rumble (2016)

[pantskyle]

Like Sting.

Not even close.

Sting was a genuine wrestler, Andre was known for being used mainly as a gimmick.

What did he hold, one world title which was then instantly given away.

Watch Triple H The Game DVD and see if The Undertaker says Triple H is overrated, it was before he married Stephanie. Love the Triple H jealousy. In fact many of the greatest wrestlers in the long history of professional wrestling never have a bad word to say about him. Only jobbers beneath him. INB4bitterwrestlersthatburnttheirbridgesatwwe

Yeah I watched Bret Hart shooting on him rather than a company man like Undertaker kissing his arse on a WWE made production.

As Hart said, good wrestler, but nothing special at all.

If Hart says your in ring skills aren't anything special I'm gonna go with that call. After all anyone who has watched him wrestle for a long time knows he's never mentioned in any of the all time great matches for a reason.

 

[Bostonian]

He's not far below the GOATs certainly higher than some Triple H haters believe.

You have low standards.

Triple H is a parasite, he latches onto those who can deliver him into the spotlight with all the fame and power that comes with it in the industry.

He rode Shawn Michaels coat tail for years. Then he married into wrestlings Irish Mafia.

If he hadn't had the likes of Stone Cold, The Rock, The Undertaker, Jericho etc babyfacing for him he'd never have gotten anywhere near the exposure he got.

His legacy is being able to be in the right place at the right time for others to make him look better than he was. Oh and being gifted a crap load of belts because of whose arse he was kissing.

 

[Bostonian]

He is still the biggest heel in the company. He's the only who has legit heat amongst kids, marks and smarks.

He doesn't have heat because he's a good heel. Stephanie craps on him these days as a heel.

People are just sick of the prick burying other wrestlers to feed his own pathetic ego. People know him for the fraud he is these days, so nobody buys into him being anything like a legit heel.

Lol, who has he buried in the twilight of his career? People use that term way too much.

The rest of the roster under his oppression as the head of The Authority.

I want General Managers back.

The Authority is the worst thing in wrestling at the moment.

On this board a loss = buried

 

[AmellyPies]

Defiantly a lot of jealously towards HHH. He's worked his ass off just as much as The Rock and Stone Cold. Just because he "Married into the family" dosn't mean he got a free ride. Imagine if The Rock or Stone Cold did that, He was never the best but he was dam good.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

I wouldn't be able to tell you Triple H's best match. He's had some really good matches but nothing that if consider great, which is pretty pathetic from a guy who has been main eventing non stop for over the last 15 years

I think it's either the Foley match at RR, or the HBK match at SummerSlam 02.

 

[Igloo]

I think it's either the Foley match at RR, or the HBK match at SummerSlam 02.

I really liked the LMS match against HBK at the 2004 RR as well.
But I think you'd have to go with HHH vs Cactus Jack at RR.

Hell, I could rattle off heaps of great Triple H matches.
But that's because I love Triple H.

 

[NitroFan]

i havent seen either of these in a long time, but i remember really liking the RR 00 match, the ladder match against The Rock at Summerslam 98 and a cage match he had against Flair in maybe 04 or 05. but mostly HHH sucks.

Andre wouldn't be near it, was mainly a gimmick wrestler.

if the idea behind the Mt Rushmore of wrestling is to honor the biggest or most transcendent stars then he absolutely would be near it. he was a major draw, probably the biggest in the world in the 70s and is still one of the most recognizable wrestlers ever.

Sting was a genuine wrestler, Andre was known for being used mainly as a gimmick.

of course he was mainly known for his size, but that doesnt mean he wasnt a 'genuine wrestler'. he did exist before the broken down, barely mobile Hulkamania Era version.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Triple H lost his quickness relatively early as a main eventer. And he got probably too big (steriods or something) which might have been why.

SummerSlam 1999 - WrestleMania 2001 was his match form peak.

I really did enjoy WWE and him at that time but in 2016 he's nothing like the same thing.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

It's interesting how all these great Triple H matches are gimmick matches. As I said, Triple H has had some really good matches, but really, I'd say none of it is career or era defining stuff. All the big iconic matches, belong to other wrestlers.

Rock vs Hulk Hogan at the 2002 WrestleMania is his defining match.

What was Austin's?

[JP Sauce]

WM 20 main event was an excellent match too. HBK, Triple H and... some other guy.

Bret Hart at WM 13.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

No Way Out 2001 three stages of hell vs. Stone Cold says hello. Judgement Day 2000 Iron man match vs The Rock doesn't get much love, but it's up there with some of my personal favorites, the ending could have been a bit better. Summerslam 1998 Ladder match vs. The Rock was pretty good.

No crap he lost his quickness, He tore his quad. He was still quick for a big guy and what person thinks someone is going to be the same bloke 15 years later?

[byronstjames]

Royal Rumble against Foley, Summerslam against HBK and WM v HBK and Benoit are all classic matches.

I honestly don't understand or believe a lot of the bullshit that is said about HHH backstage. Yeah, he rode HBKs coat tails but after Wrestlemania 14, HHH carried DX and took them all to the next level.

Besides, if he's responsible for NXT, all is forgiven.

 

[Igloo]

And let's not forget Backlash 2000 vs The Rock.
