Has Triple H ever had a good PPV match where he was the better performer of the two?

[Dolo]

The Great Khali and Vladimir Kozlov

that era was just

 

[Rell84shots]

He was the better performer in both matches with Taker at Mania 27 & 28, and even Foley has mentioned how much HHH helped him through their match at the Royal Rumble.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Of course blind fan boy(or hatred) and no rebuttal. Rock was floundering and pure mid card before feuding with HHH in summer 98. Facts. HHH carried the semi retired husk of Foley before the retirement facts. HHH bumped and sold like crazy for taka and had you believe he was actually gonna win. Facts(and he had a habit of doing that for massive underdogs contrary to popular believe) Shall I continue?

Call us fanboys, yet you’re the stan.

OP brought up an interesting point that never crossed my mind. I enjoy Trips matches, but they’ve always been with talent mentioned in OP.

 

[HipHopStan]

I low-key really liked his HIAC match with Batista. That was the best match they had and I think Hunter held his end on the match. DC Dave was no slouch either though. It's an underrated HIAC match IMO.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Maybe one match against Khali but that was god awfully boring. I couldn't tell who carried who. Stiff roid traps vs stick legs and back problems...

I’m a HBK stan so wrong again. OP is a known HHH hater so this thread reeks of bias and agenda

This.

It was a great match but Batista was a great worker at that point.

Cripple H carried the 2nd hottest star of 98? Lol

 

[R=G]

Pretty damn over in DX and not getting crickets feuding with Ken Shamrock and Simmons?

Walking down the ring to huge Rocky Sucks chants over his theme was crickets? News to me..lol

 

[R=G]

At that point feuding with Simmons and Shamrock, Rock was already picking up steam getting boo’d out of the building. You don’t really have your timeframe correct. Also, you said that as if HHH was in the main event. HHH was mid card as well, and as discussed in multiple threads, HHH was actually the least over in his own stable. He is the true greatest B+ player.

The Rock was main eventing and Cripple H was being forced to say I Quit to the Rock while Chyna heeled on him..lol. He was nothing after Summerslam 98.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

that era was just

Kozlov pinned Taker clean after a power slam with zero follow up

 

[The G.O.D II]

Didn’t happen till he started feuding with DX

He was injured. Nice try

 

[FunkDoc1112]

i'm no fan of hhh, but I'd have to rewatch that last man standing match with jericho and his wrestlemania 17 match with undertaker cause I don't recall him being out performed in those 2.

And you definitely can't say Rock carried him, especially in '98

 

[FunkDoc1112]

You are out of your fukking mind.

Even on Essa Rios

How? shyt Austin HIMSELF said HHH had to carry him at No Way Out '01, Rock was still sorta green in '98 and their '00s matches relied on Sports Entertainment fukkery. Judgment Day they both pulled their weight.

And Taker was in the early ABA days. HHH absolutely carried dude at X7. And the Batista matches go without saying.
