HHH is the leading World Heavyweight Champion since its induction into the WWE with 5 reigns and 616 days under his belt. And for the WWE championship he is #7 with 8 reigns totaling 539 days.
HHH has used backstage influence whether done by himself or his WIFE to essentially be in every title opportunity humanly possible. I don't doubt the mans ability but he isn't #1 material quite yet. He's on his way there but not quite there yet.
I'm still curious who HHH exactly put over in your opinion my friend. Batista? Eh Batista was good on his own. To be fair Ric Flair put him over by essentially naming him his protege. Randy Orton? Nah Orton did it pretty much on his own. Orton IMO would still be as big a star he is today with or without HHH being there. So who else did he "put over"? Shelton? Oh yeah he's not in WWE anymore. Clearly a successful putting over. Can't say he put over Sheamus because he's beaten him more often then not if memory serves me correctly. So again I ask you, WHO has HHH put over in the WWE? (Only reason I'm asking is because I've ranted about this in other threads that HHH doesn't put ANYONE over and if he does they end up being released or he buries their push a short time later down the road)
This has to be one of the most ignorant posts I've ever seen.
#1. Take a look at title reigns in the Late 90's/Early 2000's. That title has swapped back and forth, over and over.
The longest title reigns from 1998 to 2003 were:
Triple H-280 Days
Kurt Angle-126 Days
The Rock-119 Days
Triple H-118 Days
Steve Austin-91 Days
1, count em, 1 World Title reign was over 200 days from 1996-2003. So, lets see the longest title reigns from 2003-Present.
John Cena-380 Days
Batista-282 Days
JBL-280 Days
John Cena-280 Days
Triple H-210 Days
So, to prove your theory wrong, I say that Triple H married Stephanie McMahon at a point where the World Championships were at a point where they were not being thrown around from week to week, like they were pre-marriage. I'm SO sick of smarks like you who blow triple H's backstage pull way out of proportion. Use your brain, which WWE superstars have the best booking sense? Triple H, Triple H, and Triple H. He's a smart guy! He's a good booker! So of course he's gonna have backstage pull!
He didn't put over Batista? He put over Batista at 3 consecutive PPV's. Ric Flair didn't do that, Ric Flair was his tag team partner. And he's horrible on his own.
He didn't put over Randy Orton? You don't put yourself over, it doesn't happen. Someone puts you over or gives you your first high-profile feud, and Triple H did that with Randy Orton.
Triple H has put over:
Randy Orton (No Mercy 2007)
Jeff Hardy (Armageddon 2007)
Batista (Wrestlemania 21)
Chris Benoit (Wrestlemania 20)
John Cena (Wrestlemania 22)
Big Show (Survivor Series 1999)
Hulk Hogan (Backlash 2002)
Legacy (Breaking Point 2009)
Triple H jobbed to all of these superstars. Giving a good portion of them the biggest win of their career. So if you dare say Triple H doesn't put people over, look at the facts.
I say Triple H is Top 5 on my list, Number 4 actually.
1. Steve Austin
2. Shawn Michaels
3. Bret Hart
4. Triple H
5. The Rock
Triple H has done more for the WWE than anyone. Him and The Rock carried the WWE while Austin was gone. Then he carried it alone after they both were gone. Triple H is an all-time great. It's a no-brainer in my book
