TSC Evaluation #62: Triple H
- Thread starter mrken12
- Start date
Cripple H has been no sold on so many big stages..I've lost count. The WM Sheamus match..the Backlash match rematch with Blandy in 09 when they chanted Please Retire when he was on a stretcher...getting almost no reaction at WM 2000 until he and Foley double teamed the Rock to thunderous boos...fans chanting for pre Pipe bomb the Rebel over DX at Surivivor Series 06...getting booed giving Hornswoggle the Pedrigree in NYC with Michaels in that DX crap in 06...
His star power isn't no 8. He means nothing to ratings. Even after his big return in 02..fans gave him WHAT chants the very next show. And fans no sold him as the main event while Rock vs Hogan became a top 5 huge WM dream match.
He has never, ever been comparable to Bret Hart in the ring. He fell off way back in 2001.

The Sheamus feud 
one of the handful of instances where HHH wants to make a guy look good, but the guy he wants to look good isn't a guy who should be a top dude in the first place, and it made them both look stupid. It took a backstage attack with a pipe and 17 Brogue Kicks to beat HHH. That'll make him look good

maybe but there is no way you can get away with saying Cripple H is a 8/10 historically as a star.

Man I could literally go anywhere from a 3 to an 8
Top two greatest heels ever along with JJ imo
Which tells you all you need to know about him
top tier legends would never have that wide of a range of scores. I gave him an 8 but going into detailed descriptions, I could have easily given him a 5 and not felt bad at all.

I know it's your opinion but you may be the only person besides Jeff Jarrett who believes that.
8.5 on the strength of "My Time" and his 1999-01 work. He was arguably the best heel of the Attitude Era -- I marked for Corporate Rock too much to boo him so I don't count him -- so his perception in one of the most important eras in the history of pro wrestling has to count for something, IMO. 
The irony is if Trips wasn't so insecure, didn't feel the need to constantly put himself over and insert himself into shyt that doesn't need him, and did the job when it mattered, he probably would have the admiration and respect he so clearly wants.
His late 90's-early 00's run was great and earned him a lot of cache with fans. Plus, dude is really talented. But the reign of terror and so much of the bullshyt since have made it so people really just want him to go away.

I put 10 because I truly hated this man and it made me tune in every week because if that hate.
As a heel he is one of the best

half man half bearpig
Unofficially an 8. Officially, a 4...because blackface and that WM 19 build-up/match with Booker T still burn my soul.
