Holy shit man, spoiler that shit or something because my computer almost blew up trying to load this page, fuarrkkk.

Anyway, as for the greatest world champion? Between Cena and Trips, I'm giving my vote to Cena, and that's easy for me. I don't know what it's like for others, but for every person Cena versed, they pretty much went on to be gooder. I remember Trips completely squashing Van Dam as a threat when he was REDHOT in the WWE, and the fact he wouldn't even drop to Jeff Hardy cleanly (I'm pretty sure it was in a triple threat match and Hardy pinned the other person) to me means he's not a good world champion. In my eyes, the champ isn't meant to be completely untouchable, but help promote other talent to ensure the business thrives with competition.

Cena's big feud with Edge was a big standout and really helped them both cement their places at the top of the roster. Add that to the fact that Cena is--whether you guys like it or not-- WWE's go to guy at the moment, and has been for a long time, makes the choice as easy as it could be, at least when it's up against Trips.

Went HHH here, I've always enjoyed watching his matches as a Champion. Gotta admit this is a close call up.

It would be an extremely nice gesture to spoiler tag the vids cause it takes forever for the page to load and this is after having to close the browser down and reopen it. That is a ton of vids.

But vote wise... I went with Cena. I'd elaborate more but... ya know... it'll have to wait.

I went with Cena. Roughly speaking, they have both had a similar amount of reigns, have both held it for similar periods of times, yet, Cena's quality and objective factors(draw power, appeal, sales etc.) seem to be a lot better. I mean I really can't find any reign of HHH's(save for possibly 2000) that was comparable to Cena's work in 2006-2007 and in 2009(his three best years, in my opinion). I have enjoyed HHH's work with evolution, the WHC title and Flair, particularly, in some ways more than Cena's work but the quality just isn't there. Cena has drawn more people, more money, and has had better matches than HHH for the most part. In HHH's defence though, he did have a lot of crappy opponents (Y2J, Booker T, Nash, Goldberg etc.). They were't necessarily bad wrestlers but it seemed that at the particular point when they were working with HHH, they were really burned out. Cena didn't have super bad people or extremely unmotivated people, but he did his share of carry jobs, and was fantastically consistent with a wide variety of opponents.

HHH was always kind of a place holder any ways. After the turmoil caused by both Austin, Rock and their replacements Lesnar and others leaving way too prematurely, the WWE was kind of in a rough spot where they needed a new top face, so they fell back on HHH. For the most part he was reliable, but there is some evidence that suggests that he was a polarizing figure as far as the ratings were concerned(see Pat Patterson's report; which mentioned that in the Post-Attitude Era years, the WWE was losing fans, partly due to HHH).In 2005, the WWE's prayers were answered, and they found two new stars(Cena/Batista) and HHH finally stepped down and aside for the real stars the WWE had been awaiting. So I feel, HHH is really a mixed bag.


In any case though, neither Cena nor HHH should be in the final round of this tournament.

My pick has been Triple H from the start and it will be Triple H to the very end. I felt that Cena shouldn't have got past Austin, but this isn't the place for getting into that. I started watching wrestlign in 1999 before Triple H became what he did. I have watched it flat out since then, so I feel I can honestly say that Triple H was the better champion. It was more entertaining with him as the champion, The storylines were better. The lead-ups in particluar to the main event matches were unbelieveable and we were never left with the inkling that either man had the advantage. Cena on the other hand, he is built up like Superman, and I don't like it. It's not entertaining. I watch his matches and I can predict what is going to happen next every time.

Exactly how I see it. With HHH/Taker this year at Mania, even thought it wasn't a title match... It was damn unpredictable because in HHH's matches he sells and his matches are more 'On your feet' kind of matches because he makes it look great but with Cena, you just know once he hits that shoulder block it's the five moves of doom and it's over.

Holy youtube lag, lol.

Pretty much knew who I would go with depending on the match ups and here my pick is Triple H who imo had some of the greatest title runs of all time in that 2000 time period. Had so many classic feuds and matches between Jericho, Foley and Rock. From 2000-2010 when it comes to top 10 world title matches he may very well be in half of them for me. Plus I think his 08 title run is one of the more underrated reigns of the past decade.

This makes me laugh that it has taken Triple H to beat Cena when in reality he should have been out two rounds ago. So what makes HHH better than Angle and Austin as a champion.

Triple H being better than Angle is just way too easy for me personally. Trip's title reigns kill Angle's and that is enough for me alone. Also would have pretty much been the same thing for me when it came to Austin and HHH as it is with Cena/HHH just kind of different in a few aspects. Angle doesn't even belong in the discussion with Cena, Austin and Triple H when it comes to being a world champion.

Voted for Triple H, he is the overall greater champion. He has had better reigns and matches than Cena so this one has to go to him.

Well justice has been done, but of course Triple H is not the greatest champion of all time, he is a good champion, but not that good.

I'd go with Trips based on 99-01 because he was ridiculous hot during this period. I think he was greater than than Cena was in 07 so he edges it for me.
