If Triple H's legacy wasn't protected, what would he be known for?

Probably the most polarizing wrestler in the past 30 years. The people who don't like him tend to OD on the hate, but his fans are absolutely delusional if they think he's a top 20 wrestler/entertainer of all-time. I skew towards the "he's mid" side. Those 20 minute promos opening up RAW were terrible.

Been saying this for years. 99-2000 HHH was just 94-97 Franchise. That said he was very convincing as a scumbag heel and the writing around his character was masterful.

The issue i have with his legacy is when they suddey tried to make him bad ass. I think they even called him "The Ass Kicker":russ:

I forgot who said it. May have been Cornette or Prichard but what bad ass needs to walk around with a sledgehammer to prove a point?

Sledgehammer and a bottle of water he throws on himself. How cool.

Before HBK made him the lil homie, the only thing remotely interesting about him was Chyna and he had the nerve to downplay her importance to DX in a recent doc I saw on Peacock. Every time he came to the ring, eyes were on the 9th wonder of the world, not roid pecs dripping Dasani. He won the KOR with Foley putting him over big with a pedigree through a table and nobody remembers that shyt. Then he gave a speech and the crowd was :unimpressed:

You could easily interchange his entire character and career with the guy who was Val Venis and have the exact same result.

He wouldn't have had half as many title reigns & been in nearly as many ppv main events if he wasn't sleeping with the bosses wife.

Hhh always shoehorned himself into the hottest angles with the hottest talent available on the roster.

Hogged all the air time talking everybody to death.:hhh:

Outside of taker & rey, spent the most the production money up on his entrances, vignettes, & video packages.

Hhh got maybe a good legit 4 year from '98-'02 in his career where he meant something everything else is overrated.:yeshrug:

Linda look like her shıt dryer than her acting skills so if he was tapping that too then he must've been the epitome of desperate & Stephanie must not have had as much pull as we thought.
