Folks who "don't follow wrestlin" don't know who Haitch is
They know he's a big wrestlin star and one of the people in charge of WWE, everytime the company is involved in somethin mainstream he's there or Tweetin about it. Everyone from random rappers to talk shows for middle aged white women be mentionin his name.Not a single bit of this is true. There is no vendetta, this is simply a fact. There are no casuals, marks, or smarks who view HHH with the same regard as The Rock, Austin, Bret, HBK, nor even Mankind and Undertaker. When people think of Attitude, there are probably 5 people you could bring up before HHH. HHH wasn't even the most popular person in DX. He was getting out-popped by the Outlaws and even Chyna and X-Pac quite often. I'm not even sure why I need to go in detail about this, cause assuming you're a long time wrestling fan, this should be common knowledge. It's funny, the WWE's re-writing of history has actually fooled YOUyou are saying this as if it's disrespect to HHH, but it's not, he simply wasn't on their level. Was he the #1 heel between 99-01? No doubt. But he wasn't and will never be looked at as fondly as all those people I already listed. HHH himself knows this, which is why history continues to be re-written for him.
There's clearly a vendetta from smarks and you one of the main ones on here who stay hatin on HHH and most things Kliq related so miss me wit the innocent act, there's tons of casuals who view HHH wit the same regard as those guys and they have more regard for him than Mankind and Bret since they know his work more they're casuals for a reason they don't give a fukk about "workrate" "classics" and all of the shyt yall spout off on here.
You just are one of those arrogant smarks who think all wrestlin fans share your opinions but casuals don't think the way smarks do, right there you talkin bout gettin "out-popped" which is part of what you base YOUR opinion of his legacy on but casuals don't look back and say "this guy didn't get as big of a reaction as Austin so I don't view him as on that level" they just remember big angles from the Attitude Era and recognize he was involved in many of them so he's one of the first 5 people they'd name and definitely would name him before Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.
And his legacy isn't just Attitude Era which is what you smarks always try to use to make your argument he held it down post Attitude Era had a major role in the PG Era and is now runnin the company so again casuals look at him as bein legendary off his impact and the longevity of his relevance no matter how much you smarks try to spin it as "
HHH just books himself in every angle", bein a longtime wrestlin fan doesn't mean I'm sharin the same brain as all you smarks because what I'm sayin should be common knowledge to anyone wit objectivity which you clearly don't have as shown by this post provin my point about your bias against him.:triplehcoffee: Nothin has me fooled I just never had the hate for HHH that some of you smarks had where yall legit thought his character was real like fukkin kids and even now view him as a real life heel cloudin your judgement of his legacy:michaeljordanlaugh:yall the ones rewritin history you just did it in this post frontin like X fukkin Pac was more over than him when yall the same ones who stay throwin around the term "X Pac heat" :unclecharlesdead:further provin you have no credibility on HHH and will use any argument no matter how contradictory to fit your narrative.You admit he was the #1 heel for some of the best years of the Attitude Era (which destroys your argument about his lack of importance:triplehsmile: ) yet claim in the same sentence he will never be looked at as fondly as those other people which is impossible if he was the main heel in the biggest storylines from their favorite era, in reality he's not looked at as fondly as them by you smarks because yall hated him so much as a heel you can't separate his character from the actual guy so you don't have "fond" memories of him like you do those other wrestlers:triplehusad:but casuals aren't marks like you and do look at him as fondly as them which you desperately want to deny. History's not bein rewritten for him you're just seein the truth of his legacy the impact he had both in and out of the business and how he's even bigger now than before wit crossover appeal and are basically tryna tell yourself it's a work from WWE to remain in denial.

Austin doesn't seem like the type who wanted to be Hollywood or a pop culture icon. He's probably still eating off of money from 1998-2000, has the show on CMT, his own beer, and occasionally appear in some straight to DVD/VOD movie, etc.

He's definitely been eclipsed post career by both...Cena hosted SNL and been in movies and today show while Austin hosting a reality competition show nobody watches on a channel nobody has... Triple H is in line to run the entire company ... Austin was a bigger star but post career he's not done much

This is false too....he's been in a ton of straight to DVD movies and longest yard, expendables trying to catch that hollywood break...he's tried crappy hosting gigs and lIves in Hollywood...let's not make him out to be a recluse like lesnar or something

Again, there's not a single thing in this post that's true. Just admit you were sitting on the living room floor in front of the TV Indian style with a "My Time" t-shirt while HHH was spitting water on himself.

It's Owen Harts fault.

What run has the Rock had?
I'm trying to think, what classics has he carried on his own like Arnold, Stallone, or Bruce?
I cant think of a single classic Rock has made action wise.
He did a great job reviving his career after shyt like The tooth fairy and southland tales, i think you can point his resurgence to The Other Guys, with him and Sam Jackson, but that said he isn't anywhere close to the run Arnold, Stallone, and Bruce were on in 80s to early 90s. Like someone else said he isn't even on Will smith's level with classics, no Bad Boys no Independence Day, no Men in Black.
That Wwether that shyt that make ya soul burn slow
Nobody watched nor cared about the Cena SNL...he doesn't headline movies....the Tyson angle is bigger than Cenas career. Not even close, kid. You didn't live it but that's how it was. Cena is a sidekick in projects..thats it.
Resurgence? He dropped endless #1 movies for like 8 str8 years. Southland Tales wasn't even released on a major level. Tooth Fairy and Doom didn't make real cake but Game Place and Race to Witch Mountain was still legit and above all thst, he was praised more than anyone in every movie he released. That's how he got here..it was only a matter of time before things like San Andreas started happening. It was all on deck. Vin Diesel recently went outside his lane and flipped HARD. Rock is carrying every damn project he's in. He's on top. Arnold nor Sly were not the #1 actors in the world in their prime ...just action stars with great iconic roles.

Yes resurgence.
Southland Tales, Tooth Fairy and some other shyt were a string of flops and underperformers.
He was about to be straight DVD status before The Other Guys elevated him and then he delivered with selecting better projects, more ensembles or established properties.
Vin Diesel has nothing to do about a conversation about Dewayne.
Arnold and Sly were the top earning actors in the world at a time and would compete with each other to see who could get the biggest checks. that said no one has ever said the rock is the #1 actor in the world, just one of the highest grossing actors.
