honestly if HHH didnt marry stephanie his legacy would be portrayed very differently among the players in his era
Honestly... HHH started the trend of giving a belt prematurely to get a wrestler over... Instead of said wrestling having an organic rise to stardom and booking a show into the ground to prop of said Superstar.

I watched back him beating Mankind before the title the RAW after SummerSlam 99 a few years ago. The crowd was dead silent in :mjtf::beli::leostare:when Triple H won lol. Foley feud in 2000 really make legit in the fans mad which I don’t get why Triple H constantly took pot shots at Foley because he was instrumental in getting him over as a main event heel.

When did he take shots at Foley?

I think everyone has their own opinion

Had he won the king of the ring in 1996, he could have been world champ in 1998

Imagine that

When did he take shots at Foley?

Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer was asked by a reader during his radio show (available here) why WWE has not utilized Mick Foley on television more frequently since his return to the organization last November. He said this is due to wrestler/executive Paul 'Triple H' Levesque's lobbying, who is resentful of "The Hardcore Legend."

Meltzer reports Levesque deprecates Foley whenever his name is broached in creative meetings. While Brian Gewirtz, WWE's Senior Vice President of Creative Writing, feels Foley is creative and a good performer, Levesque thinks otherwise. He says Foley 'doesn't look tough' and can't be taken seriously as an in-ring performer.

A former WWE creative writer told Power Slam in 2008 under the condition of anonymity that Levesque would disparage Foley whenever he appeared for the company, and in the process, diminished his value in the eyes of Vince and Stephanie McMahon.

"Foley is an out-of-shape nobody," Levesque was reported as saying by the writer. "No one cares about him at all. Funaki puts more asses in the seats than Foley does. He should pay us for coming on our shows."

Meltzer believes the real reason Levesque still holds Foley in contempt is because he gets irritated over the consensus of his closest co-workers that his memorable matches with Foley in 2000 'made him a star.'

Foley has criticized Levesque in the past; he took several veiled shots at 'H in his 2007 autobiography The Hardcore Diaries. He also took issue online with Levesque belittling ring announcer Lilian Garcia with a remark he felt was hurtful during an April 2010 episode of Raw. Foley acknowledged then that he may have cost himself professionally for speaking out against Levesque, but felt he had to stand by his principles.

So they're cool now? This wasn't forced?


He’s prob cooler and talks more with HHH than Austin. He and Austin don’t even follow each other on social but he follows Hunter and Hunter says they text. Austin has said numerous times he and Rock don’t talk but when they see each other it’s like they’ve never been apart.

People still believing Meltzer despite him being exposed by the likes of Pritchard and Bischoff on multiple occasions. Good grief :dead:

I think HHH is just petty because a lot of people argue that Foley made HHH a main event heel at Royal Rumble 2000.

Triple H had a lot of people job the fukk out to put that dude over. Foley, Austin, Vince, Rock, and etc. It's wild. It's shame that HHH athleticism and peak ring work frok 2000-2001 injury never came back. He gotten close, but damn. HHH was scary athletic in 2001.

You never noticed anything with The Rock? To this day she gets all starry eyed whenever he shows up.:mjlol:
'

So it's not just me, then!? :russ: Every time she's within seeing distance of The GOAT One her eyes light up, she gives a genuine/non creepy, dare I say affectionate smile that she tries to hide right away.

I think most of the segments she had in 01 either involved him or Jericho and were by her design.
