MikeCampbell Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 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. Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 6, 2013 Report Posted July 6, 2013 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. Quote
evilclown Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 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. Â Just throwing that out there.... Quote

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 Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 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. Quote

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. Quote
artDDP Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 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. Quote
Slasher Posted July 12, 2013 Report Posted July 12, 2013 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. Quote
Strummer Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 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. Quote
Strummer Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 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 Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Well, as "crazy" as it sounds, maybe, just maybe they are a happily married couple who love each other. Quote
Guest Staples Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 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. Quote

Loss Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 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. Quote
Sidebottom Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 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. If he ever wrote a proper book, that should be the title. Quote

sek69 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Posted July 14, 2013 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. Quote
rovert Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Can't tell you how badly I want The Shield vs Kane, The Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior at Summerslam. Quote
Slasher Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 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. Quote

BruiserBrody Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 HHH is talking to Batista about a return Quote
Loss Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 If Batista agrees to come back, it seems like that would be a major shakeup. HHH has to be thinking Lesnar vs Batista. Quote
Matt D Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Guy's got a movie to promote next year. Quote
