Wrestlers who overachieved in their career

[Kill Dat Noize]

How did Michaels peak higher than Triple H? Was it being the third wheel in the Austin/Tyson story or was it being the top guy in the worst period in WWF history?

what does that have to do with anything? tell me in early 98 who else on that roster was in the position to put austin over as the top guy if not shawn?


and why are you bringing up hbk's failures a top guy in defense of hhh of all people? was hhh ever successful as the top guy?

Bruh, I'm just saying by every tangible level of judgment HHH had a better career than HBK. He was never a better in ring talent than HBK was but neither was Hulk Hogan and John Cena and they had better careers than HBK did too. HBK even had to retire at a point which cut years off what would have been his prime. HBK is an all time great, but comparing careers he wouldn't even be top 20, HHH would be.

i value peak over longevity.

It's to show that Shawn at his peak wasn't the guy in any successful era. Triple H in 2000 >>>> HBK. As far as quality goes, I would say 2002-2005 RAW when HHH was the top guy was really good. I don't know if it did numbers but I enjoyed it a lot more than I did New Generation era RAW.

Its interesting that most of the Attitude era GOATs from Austin to HHH to Rock, Undertaker, Kane, etc all started out straight status

if hbk and hhh have anything in common, it's that they both peaked as heels. neither of them could ever really cut the mustard as a fan favorite unless it was in a supporting role. if they were in the main event it's because they shared the stage with someone better.

but imo hhh just never reached shawn's level. hhh in 2000 was a beast but i still lean heavily towards shawn from 97.

Ruthless Aggression era is GOAT

All fair and good points I just prefer HHH.

David Arquette, he was a shytty actor who was only supposed to make one appearance to promote a shytty movie... somehow this nikka became the World Heavyweight Champion and I'm pretty sure the WWE will induct this fool into the Hall of Fame in the future as well.

You can start with the lie about Triple H being enjoyable from 2002-2005.

During that period I lost some interest in the product until 2007. He was .

I didn't mean Triple H was enjoyable, I meant RAW. I couldn't stand Hunter at the time.
