Triple H Appreciation Day

[Troy]

​

After WWE dedicated an entire episode of RAW to HHH and his decision to walk away or stay, WS member Shane McMahon and the Corporate Ministry came up with the great idea to dedicate a day to HHH. Check the forum calendar it is a real thing. So this entire thread is dedicated to the King of Kings, the Cerebral Assassin, the Game HHH. We may not be able to match WWE in terms of video packages but we can still show HHH some love in this thread.

What are some of your favourite HHH moments, feuds and matches? What in your opinion were HHH's best years and do you prefer him as a face or heel? When do you think HHH will return to the ring?

I ain't going to bother to dedicate HHH's career at all.

I won't even go into reasons for explaining clearly because I don't want to have to log on every day and argue... So there. I won't take part in this.

I legit thought this was an upcoming WWE segment at first.

Favorite Triple H match? Royal Rumble 2000 street fight against Mick Foley. In my personal opinion, Mick Foley made Triple H the baddest heel in the business at the time. Foley made Hunter look like a star in that feud.

Favorite Triple H moment? His return in 2002. I don't think anyone realizes how different the invasion angle would have been of Triple H was around. His MSG pop still gives goosebumps. It was nice to see him back after 8 months and to come right in and win the Royal Rumble was good to watch from a fans perspective.

It's obvious that he's not retiring; but there's nothing wrong with showing the guy some love.

That match finish at RR 2000 and the aftermath of HHH/HBK Summerslam 2002 would be my two favourite Trips moments of all time. He was at his best when he was doing outright sinister heel shit.

Plenty of great HHH moments over the years and when you break it down he has had a pretty incredible career. Early on I enjoyed his work with The Rock and their fights over the IC title. Obviously his work with DX was great when DX actually had an edge to it, they had some great segments as a group. His feud with Mick Foley really put HHH on the map as a legitimate maineventer and put him over the edge. They had some excellent brutal matches and Foley took HHH somewhere that I didn't think he would go. His return in 2002 at the Rumble was ridiculously good and that pop is one of the loudest that I have heard. I really enjoyed his work with Evolution as well which was one of the greatest stables of all time. Was the perfect choice to lead and helped make two of the biggest stars of the 00's. He still has his moments and his recent WM matches against Undertaker show that he can still go. Gets a bad rap because of who he is married to but he has the talent and would have made it big even without the connections.

Hasn't every Monday since WrestleMania been Triple H appreciation day? Why can't we dedicate to appreciating someone who isn't given as much credit. Why not Mr. Ass day?

When I got into wrestling back in '02... Triple H versus Shawn Michaels at Summerslam was the be and end all of great matches to me, but that was back in my youth, now I don't think of it as a wrestling clinic anymore.

But that match is Iconic to Triple H and made him for a good four years and the main guy in WWE during that time, but when I think of Triple H's best matches, nothing beats his match against Cactus Jack at the Royal Rumble, possibly the greatest hardcore match EVER, but also his Wrestlemania encounters are usually something worthnoting, him versus John Cena back in '06 was fantastic and his two triple threat matches against Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels were fantastic.

Ultimately, I think Triple H should of retired along with the Undertaker back in march, that was possibly the best storytelling I've seen all year and made hell in a cell effective once again.

Gone off a weird angle but I'll always appreciate Triple H for his great matches over anything else.

Because we must follow the directions of WWE, when they have a HHH appreciation RAW we must then have a HHH appreciation day.

 

[The Cork]

God damn Hall of Famer and very close to being greatest of all time.

 

[Chris]

Trips could have an appreciation week and I wouldn't complain, others would because they'd claim he buried all these people, and ignore all the other stuff he did. I'll add my favorite matches and moments later.

 

[Lewb]

Match? Favorite match of his is hands down the Three stages of hell with Austin. It was such a great much match for storytelling and just all out action, loved it. I always preferred him as a heel but his face stuff brought the best comedy out of him which at times was priceless. Of course he's not retiring but he's not the man he once was understandably and if he retires soon in the ring capacity wise, I would say fair enough, go out before you disgrace everything you've worked damn hard for to build. He is one of the greatest of all time, no disputing.

 

[Dale]

I appreciate HHH for doing the job to Brock as it was a pleasant surprise. That's about as much as I will contribute to this thread.

Oh yeah I also forgot his greatest ever line.

The moment when he said he was going away would be very hard to beat.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Fuck, I'm kind of mad I missed Raw last night on here. Just catching up now.

Favorite match of his was for sure his Street Fight with Foley at the Rumble in 2000. Favorite segment was anything to do with Katie Vick. I'll go with humping the mannequin if I had to be specific.

It's such a great day to be a Triple H fan. I hope he is nowhere near done.
