    I had that hog pen match from IYH 5 on my dvd collection and never watched it for years because I thought it was dumb. But one day I decided to watch it and man was that match so awesome! Never thought a hog pen match would be so technically sound and paced so well. Great match!

    I remember when I first saw him, then telling my brother that he was going to be a future WWF Champion. Great body, great character work, brutal offensive, super handsome, likable like every great wrestler is supposed to be but unlikeable enough to get his character over. One of the last legends we'll ever see in wrestling past the Class of Cornette (Cena, Batista).

    One of the things I will remember Triple H for when he was a full-time wrestler in the mid 2000s, was that he oftentimes didn't get the job done by himself since his buddies in the group that he and they were in called Evolution, were always helping him. The only reason he beat Goldberg was because he always had Batista, Orton, and Flair helping him. Goldberg's 3 on 1 match against Triple H, Batista, and Orton, and with Flair at ringside, was the ultimate example of that.

    Listening to JR put his early days in the WWF in perspective from a personnel director’s standpoint (all HHH went through to become a future main event talent) tells me that he didn’t ride coattails. He made his own highway and kudos to him for doing it.

    All the scheming and backstabbing and HHH realises he is slowing falling out of favor. For all of NXTs talents and having been on air much longer than AEW to draw in a following… HHH clearly lost to AEW and Vince does not tolerate or accept losses well, especially at this stage of his life and career. HHH is great at latching on to established stars to get heat for himself as a talent. He knows how to play the political game to move up the ladder. He knows how to be a yes man. And like many many talents willing to ply their trade seriously he is a good in ring talent. But he is not a pioneering promoter like Vince. He can be a good general and run an already well organised platoon . But he is no trail blazer as a businessman. He will never be an Vince or Elon Musk or Steve Jobs. He is more like a Tim Cook.. live off the legacy of something built by someone great. Vince seems to finally see it now. HHH is wealthy and can live happily ever after if he were to retire tomorrow. But he will never have what the likes of Stone Cold or Rock or Taker has us a talent. Despite WWEs constant whitewashing of history by amplifying the importance of DX whilst glossing over what someone like Stone Cold did. Nor will he ever be revered as a Vince McMahon in wrestling. It is karma. He will always be remembered by the people who truly counts in the industry as the guy who hit jackpot when he married into the family.
