Rock vs HHH doesn't get its due as an all time feud

[BlackAchilles]

• Two legit classics (Ladder match at Summerslam 98, Iron Man Match in 00)
• Mic battles had the crowd all the way turnt, Rock's best face promos and nuclear heat for Trips and Steph
• Held it down for the company in a big way while the top guy was out for a long time w/an injury

Yet it feels like an afterhought when ppl wax nostalgic about the AE

I think it gets overlooked because both were on the rise. I think it gets overshadowed by the dx blackface skit

There is no “all time” HHH feuds.

Nobody was coming to see that big nosed ass kissing dikk rider.

Doesn't it though?

WWE's narrative acts like Rock v HHH was nearly as significant as Rock v Austin

Their matches at Summerslam 98, Backlash and Judgement Day 2000 get plenty of props.

It gets overlooked cuz no one really liked triple H. Only on the internet you got these contrarions acting like they loved him so they can be different and apart from the majority.

You can't marry the boss's daughter, attain great 'success' due to that connection and expect everyone to 'respect' you. HHH was always a midcarder and had no business in the main event scene. He's the primary reason I stopped watching wrestling around 2003-2004 (don't remember which year). He hog all the TV time with his long, boring monologues. Rather see Shane McMahon do ECW-esque spots.

Facts. Going through old YouTube clips with his feuds is such a chore to get through if you try to sit through his monologues for context.

Good luck trying to have a fair and balanced conversation when it comes to Triple H in TSC.

To be fair Triple H is the reason a lot of people stopped watching

 

[Ill-Yaz]

I disagree

I think a lot of people look back fondly at this feud

It's my personal favorite too

 

[Da King]

Come pay your respects to Kang, The Rock’s favorite opponent @R=G

Austin vs Rock drew more money obviously but they only really ought at and around Wrestlemania so it was never a long feud and you can tell there wasn't any real animosity there.

The HHH and Rock feud had both longetivity and real hostility between the two. Them dudes really didn't care for one another lol

Rewatched 00 a few years back and it wasn't all that great of a feud. Rock got his ass whooped damn near the whole year, had the crowd chanting "same old bullshyt".
