Getting Noticed By Management
After HHH promo and Y2J ( and many others) claiming that Triple h was never the #1 guy it got me thinking..... Was HHH ever the man during his run?
He was in te midcard from 95 to early 99 but his main event and champion role took off in mid 99.... Feuded and beat the best and biggest stars of his day in Stone Cold, The Rock, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, Big Show, Kane among many others.
But we can agree that both Stone Cold and The Rock were bigger stars from 99 till 02
But in 2002, Stone Cold Left and retired the next year after WM 19 and the rock left for Hollywood full time. HHH was left as the world champion in Raw from 02 till 05 almost non-stop. He was the champion and main eventer of Raw for 3 years. Brock Lesnar was champion from 02 till he left in 04 but he was main eventing Smackdown.
In 05 Batista and more importantly, Cena took off and he became the face of the WWE till today. HHH was champion again multiple times but he stopped being a constant in the title picture although he was always booked strongly being one of the few people to actually pin Cena repeatedly during his time as face of the company.
So the question is simple.... Was HHH Ever the Man/#1 Guy in the WWE?
IMO yes he was the man from 02 till 05..... He was main eventing most pay perviews, held the raw belt non stop and people were paying to see him get beat from where I stood at the time.
