But no, as good as Hunter can be on the stick, people forget the great mid 2000's dark age when we were privy to all hunter all the time.
People forget that? Really? Seems to me that people complain about that on here all the time. I don't think anyone has forgotten.
While Bret will always be remembered as one of the greatest in ring competitors of all time, I always found him boring when it came to his mic work. HHH on the other hand has always been great to watch on the mic and while he may not match up to Hart when it comes to his in ring abilitie, Triple H has always brought a lot more to the table then what Bret ever did in my opinion.
Bret Hart is terribly underrated on the mic. Just because he didn't act like some sort of comedian, swear all the time, or use insider terms doesn't mean he was boring on the mic. Bret didn't work on a promo all day long. He just went out there and said what came to mind which made things come off natuarlly and made it seem more real.
If I wanted to watch a technical wrestling match, I'd go watch a Bret Hart match, If I wanted to be entertained, I'd watch Triple H. If you would notice, Triple H's best matches are gimmick matches and I enjoy them most.
So are you saying you're not entertained by a technical wrestling match? That's fine if you're not. Just trying to understand what you're saying.
Outside of his feud with The Rock, Triple H really never had stand-out bouts. Both of his matches with Undertaker were mat brawls, at least in the first one you had some excitement about the match (perhaps the streak ruined the second one for me).
Austin, Foley, Michaels, Cena, Batista, Angle, Jericho, etc.
Is there something wrong with a brawl? I usually prefer a technical match to a brawl, but there's nothing wrong with a good brawl. Variety is good.
Triple H. I didn't see much of Bret during his WWF run, but I've seen a few matches here and there and I was bored to tears. I just kept thinking this must be the time people use to take a pee break or to buy souvenirs. Maybe I'm off and Bret really is or was as good as he thinks he is but he never impressed me. Just came off as a little dude who says I can wrestle. That's great, so can Kurt Angle, but Angle can do it and be entertaining on the mic. Trips wins by a land slide.
A pee break during a Bret Hart match? You have no idea what you're talking about. Everyone has a right to their opinion so I can understand why you may not like Bret Hart, but to be bored to tears during his matches? I just can't fathom that.
Laughing at the fact that HHH is now Flair on the mic all of a sudden. IMO HHH is and always was long winded and boring on the mic, during his day he would talk for 15 minutes and say literally NOTHING. EVERY MONDAY!!! Always came across petty on the mic, regularly burying guys with no good reason. He was funny for 2 years on the mic with DX as long as the other members were there to provide most of the humor. Every other HHH character; his promo's have pretty much always been pointless space filler.
"I-AHHH..... WILL DEFEAT UNDERTAKERRRAHHHH.... THIS SUNDAYYYYAHHHHH.... BECAUSEAHHHH ---- IIIIIAHHHH --- AMMMMMMMMMMUHHHH ---- THE GAMMMMMMME-AHHHHHH!!!" this is literally every HHH promo ever.
That is literally every promo? I think you've formed your opinion based on exaggerated forum talk instead of what has actually happened.
Bret the markman hart was terrible on the mic, he always reminded me of the kid that tried to be cool but had no idea what he was saying. He would also do the same fucking moves almost every match and always looked like he had pasties. Fuck bret, hes so out of touch, must have had another stroke.
You win the award for absolute worst post in this thread. I've already mentioned Bret is underrated on the mic but I have to address your other point. EVERYONE does the same fucking moves. Watch the matches of anyone that has been around for a significant amount of time and tell me which guys don't use the same moves in every match.
Triple h is just a good hardcore wrestler but Bret was much better in ring. Better had swagger triple h was/is a overselling wrestler. Doubt triple h could've done a 60 minute iron man match at wrestlemania plus he wouldn't have put up as good of a match. On mic triple h was funnier, but wrestling wise no where near Bret's level
Triple H has been in two Iron Man Matches so I think he could have been fine at mania. An Iron Man Match is not ideal for mania but Triple H could handle it if the circumstances called for it.
Bret Hart in a beat, it's a no contest, Bret had great matches on Raw these were one on one no gimmick and they still came out golden. Hart gave a great rub to those.
The last guy Trips feuded with and gave a rub was Sheamus but does anyone really remember that?
You mean the last guy that got a rub from Triple H was the last guy he worked with when he was a full time wrestler? That's a bad thing? Who's the last guy that got a rub from working with Bret?
It's pretty impressive that Bret could get guys like Lawler, Issac Yankem, Hakushi and Bob Backlund over. It's one thing to have classics with stars like Perfect, Austin and Piper... But it's another to make a bunch of jobbers actually believable heels and have good matches with them.
Jerry Lawler was a jobber?
Not sure if its a compliment to HHH if his best matches are gimmick matches. Thats saying he can only be entertaining in those type of matches and not a regular match.
But as long as he's entertaining what difference does it make? If you really enjoyed watching a gimmick match as it happened do you look at it a week later and decide you didn't enjoy it as much because of the gimmick? A good match is a good match whether it's a regular match, cage match, ladder match, or anything else.
So I have defended both Bret Hart and Triple H in this post. How could this possibly be? Maybe, just maybe it's because BOTH were great wrestlers. You mean it's possible to give credit to both people during a debate? Shocking, right.
To answer the question proposed in this thread, I liked watching Bret Hart more. His style is the one I preferred. Triple H has had a lot of great matches but for the most part I feel his best matches weren't as good as Bret's best matches. These guys are actually pretty similar in their styles in non gimmick matches but I think Bret usually executed the match better. Most of my favorite matches to watch involved Bret Hart so not only do I prefer watching his matches to Triple H's but I prefer his matches to anyone else's.
