Master Manipulator Or Truly “The Game”?
Firstly, I would like to say I have been shocked at the recent displays we have seen after WrestleMania twenty. Triple H actually jobbed to Chris Benoit at WrestleMania… something we internet fans didn’t see coming. But as of late, and for the past last month, Triple H hasn’t won a wrestling match. The Game went on to lose to Eddie Guerrero by Disqualification and he put over Shelton Benjamin over….not once, but TWICE! I am shocked! We have gone from a Triple H that has buried Rob Van Dam, Kane, Booker T, Shawn Michaels (to an extent), etc in just over a year to a Triple H that is losing wrestling matches to a young superstar who was stuck in the Tag Team Division on SmackDown.
Although, most of the internet fans today criticise Triple H for ‘holding talent back’, I love to watch “The Cerebral Assassin”! Sure, he isn’t as good as he once was, but he is still has great in ring ability and can put on great matches when required. Although the majority of the internet fans dislike Triple H for his backstage ‘politics’ as sometimes referred to as, you have to ignore the backstage stuff which goes on behind the curtains and think of Triple H… whether you like him or not? I almost can guarantee you, if Triple H was not using backstage ‘politics’ a low percentage of wrestling fans would bitch about seeing Triple H on Raw and bitching about Triple H squashing talent.
Looking back to some of Triple H’s 2003 feuds. Who made Goldberg, Scott Steiner, and even Kevin Nash look good, hell, Triple H made them even look better than him! Who lead all of them to decent matches? Triple H did! I think it would even be fair to say that Triple H created the ‘monster’ gimmick that Goldberg had. Did you see Triple H’s facial expression against Goldberg, or when Goldberg was in his presence. Triple H has done all that. Is Triple H holding down Raw? Hell No. Is Triple H holding Upper Mid Carders from becoming maineventers? Possibly. The bottom line is in my opinion that the ONLY thing that matters is: Triple H is good in the ring, and he is entertaining. Triple H is over with the crowd; he has great microphone skills… what more could you ask for a maineventer to be? One last thing till I rap up this part of the column on Triple H. The Game Is Still That Damn Good!
