WWE's Triple H: Political Player or Just That Good?

For years now, the wrestling community has been saying things about the power that Triple H wields within the WWE.  Ever since HBK and HHH formed DX and became a ratings magnet, Vince has let them get away with just about anything they wanted.

Some time later, Hunter married the boss's daughter and became a member of the extended McMahon family, giving him more backstage power than almost any other wrestler has had.  He is without a doubt a great mic man but many people question his in-ring ability.

Other than Edge, I cannot remember another superstar amassing that many world title reigns that quickly.  There is no question that the wrestling game has changed over the years to where we see shorter title reigns due to how much TV and PPV time they have compared to 20 years ago.  This, however, does not mean they have to keep the same guys winning over and over.

HHH has been a World Champion 12 times in the WWE, more than any current superstar has ever held.  This combined with his other accomplishments make him one of the most successful wrestlers in history, but was he deserving?

There's no denying the backstage influence of HHH but some of his fans say he is a deserving champion.  He has been in some of WWE's most infamous matches including many Hell int he Cell and Elimination chambers, the only Three Stages of Hell matches and he has literally bled buckets in the name of entertainment. 

His in-ring skills are that of a power wrestler, utilizing strikes, throws and holds more than anything else, and some say his repetitive style is causing his matches to look too similar.

There's no secret that every wrestler has signatures that they use in every match, but when that's all you see, week after week, the matches grow stale, boring, and predictable.  When was the last time HHH won without using the Pedigree or sledge hammer?

Hunter has been compared to Hogan in the respect that both men are known to not like putting others over, especially guys newer than he is.  This is not exclusive to Hogan and HHH though, If everyone was willing to put over anyone then we would never have dominating stars like the Undertaker or Hogan. 

There needs to be guys on top in this industry and those guys won't get there by laying down to a lesser performer will they?  Jeff Hardy is the one exception her, he got to the top after years of putting other guys over.

While the argument over The Game being either a political hound dog or a great wrestler will never end, one thing is for sure, his career has to at some point and that means that eventually there will be no more reason to argue this subject.  So for now let the argument continue and let your opinion be known.
