Objectively speaking, HHH is no where near Austin. If I were to rank, on a pyramid, different guys on different levels, Hogan, Austin and Rock would be on level 1, Hart, Savage, Flair and a few others would be level 2, and Triple H and John Cena would be on level 3. I prefer Cena to Flair personally, but meh. Objectively speaking, in terms of overall career and accomplishments, he's not there. But, Triple H is very solidly behind those others.
First, the Hardy's don't sell as much as Cena, nor are they as big in the ratings. But, the problem with the Hardys is that they are living off of their success from 8 years ago. Other than having his fiancee cheating on him, what has Matt Hardy done to deserve any kind of success? Solid wrestler? Sure. Great pop? Sure. I have no problem with giving Matt Hardy a push towards the main event to see how it goes, but he's never done anything to really set himself apart from others, in Vince's eyes. And Jeff, while an exponentially better wrestler now than his early years, still struggles with spotty matches, and I don't just mean high risk moves.
When Chris Benoit was champion people bashed him too. People were still bashing him until the day he died. Now, most of the IWC liked him as US Champion, but if he had been World Champion for a year, people would have turned on him too. I do not doubt this.

I do agree with you saying that Austin is in a different league than Triple H only because Austin just blew up to the mainstream spot in a matter of two years.And the fact that he basically started the Attitude Era.I would say that Triple H is below them.But putting Cena at level three is wrong.Those men had amazing talent in the ring.Cena doesn't.On a business point of view he would be number 1.
Just asking why would you prefer Cena's matches to Flair's? Flair put on hour long matches every night and didnt fail in the entertainment department.Where as Cena has had only one hour long match and a lot of Cenas matches tend to get very boring and repetitive.
The Hardyz do live off of their old success in the tag team division.
Face it.Everyone will get bashed.Cena just tends to get bashed even more.Everyone gets turned on when they hold the championship to long.People get bored and tired of seeing them all the time and lash out at them just because of the length of their title reigns.
