July 6, 201312 yr comment_5550067 When Meltzer got argumentative, Cornette snarkly replied "He's about as much of a special attraction as the mold that shows up on my shower curtain from time to time." I actually agree with Cornette on that one. Ever since the buildup to 'Mania up until just a few weeks back, HHH has been pretty consistently on TV and PPV, and it doesn't seem like anyone really wants to see him there.
July 6, 201312 yr comment_5550069 I don't know, the crowds still pop for him. Just not as much if he was off tv before comebacks. It's the HHH version of special attraction, he is one...but not as much of one as all the guys he worked with. Lol.
July 12, 201312 yr comment_5551711 So, I met Triple H yesterday and he was charming, self deprecating and looked at his wife like they were still newlyweds. A lot to admire about the man. Just throwing that out there....

Just throwing that out there.... Yeah I hate what the guy has done to wrestling the past decade or so but can't argue the dude just knows how to be damned likable when he wants to be. He learned a lot from Kevin Nash
July 12, 201312 yr comment_5551718 I often wonder (because I've heard several testimonies to his character like that) how much of what we like to blame Trips for is actually Vince.

Just throwing that out there.... Not passing judgement one way or the other, but it does seem like it's a hell of a lot easier to hate a guy when the only contact you have with him happens over a TV screen.
July 12, 201312 yr comment_5551742 I often wonder (because I've heard several testimonies to his character like that) how much of what we like to blame Trips for is actually Vince. I think Hunter is aware that he isn't one of the company's biggest draws and as a result does an expert job of playing to Vince's insecurities to hold on to his spot. I also believe the fact that Steve Austin wouldn't put him over in 1999 ate him up for a while, if not still to this day.
July 12, 201312 yr comment_5551744 It's actually quite simple. To be as good backstage politician as he is, you have to be as charming as you can be manipulative. You can't bully your way into certain things all the time. Plus who do you think he learned from when rising in the WWF? Shawn and Kevin. Nash is a guy who can talk you into believing that if you jobbed in the worst way possible to him, you come out of it all the better for it. You won't even realize it until you walk through the curtain after the match that he screwed you over. THEN to top it off, he will smile and convince you he will return the favor down the road and all is forgiven... but he never does that either. Hunter is cut from a similar cloth. He is more Nash than he is Shawn who didn't give a fuck who he pisses off to get what he wants.
July 13, 201312 yr comment_5551771 I think Hunter is pretty great in media appearances. During the boom he was on a lot of talk shows and he was always pretty funny and captivating. At the very least he doesn't embarrass the company.
July 13, 201312 yr comment_5551773 and yeah it's pretty amazing. Steph looks at him the same way she did as a 23 year old in 99. Pretty remarkable. He's a charmer I guess
July 13, 201312 yr comment_5551778 Well, as "crazy" as it sounds, maybe, just maybe they are a happily married couple who love each other.
July 13, 201312 yr comment_5551779 Hardcore Holly's book has his take on Triple H and it makes sense. Basically, the guy upfront is nice, kind and funny. It's the stuff behind your back that's problematic. Still, he'd do stuff randomly like pay for Orton's rampage over in Europe and taking the wrestlers out to a zoo. Basically, he seems like a douchebag professionally, but a decent guy personally.

July 14, 201312 yr comment_5551930 It doesn't surprise me that HHH is likable. I'd be more surprised if he wasn't. He knows how to win friends and influence people.

July 14, 201312 yr Author comment_5551997 Apparently the Ultimate Warrior is going to make an appearance on RAW to promote the new video game. If Triple H had anything to do with making that happen, he must have some kind of magic horse whisperer powers.
July 14, 201312 yr comment_5552029 Can't tell you how badly I want The Shield vs Kane, The Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior at Summerslam.
July 14, 201312 yr comment_5552030 Can't tell you how badly I want The Shield vs Kane, The Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior at Summerslam. Whoa, that reminds me of that rumor that Shield vs Bros of Destruction was the Summerslam plan but with the Wyatts targeting Kane, I am guessing not.

July 15, 201312 yr comment_5552149 If Batista agrees to come back, it seems like that would be a major shakeup. HHH has to be thinking Lesnar vs Batista.
