It was a stupid line by Triple H. None of the three guys who he named were even around during the Monday Night Wars as main run with the ball as the top guy players. The line was fine if he would have used different names of wrestlers that were going to be something but never did.
I mean him and Shawn when they were undisputed number ones for the most part drew terribly. Not saying others didn't draw bad because many others were not the answer after Hogan/before Austin either (Nash, Bret, etc..) but it was telling he named those three, and it's just for personal agendas:
He has ALWAYS hated Jericho. I mean always, he thinks the guy is overrated trash. He has went out of his way to bury him any chance he gets, and they have fought maybe like 50 times and Jericho has NEVER won once (except for that phantom win on RAW they took back). Triple H made sure Jericho could/would never pin him.
Edge, he has been harping on him now for a couple of months, which is new. It's news to me that he was never considered credible by those in power backstage, but Triple H is really trying to prove a point that people though that.
And RVD, well he hates RVD right now, because RVD is not going to work more then they want him too and he (Triple H) was the one who personally called him and signed him to whatever RVD wanted.
Other reasons are just to make people mad, which he has by this thread.
Has Cripple H ever lost to RVD? I just can't recall. I think he kept jobbing to Cripple H once he came back from that "Beautiful Day" return shyt in 2002. RVD was red hot all of 2002 and eventually he faced Cripple H the all of 2002 and kept losing. Something like that. They faced off at the end of 2003 too in NY and I think it was interrupted or Cripple H won again.
