The Undertaker finally returned on Raw this week after being out of action since October 15th, due to a shoulder injury.
Triple H spared no time and walked down to the ring as soon as Taker was back. The wrestlers did not need to say anything to explain what they wanted. These men want a match and they want it at Mania.
Triple H’s best friend, Shawn Michaels, wrestled Taker last year at Wrestlemania and was forced to retire due to him losing the match. Triple H cannot help but feel sad and miss his best friend. So, obviously HHH wants revenge, and what better revenge then to end Undertaker’s Wrestlemania streak?
But does Triple H deserve to end Taker’s streak?
In 2002 and 2009, Triple H was voted 'most overrated wrestler of the year’ by Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Triple H was also voted ‘Reader’s least favorite wrestler’ in 2002 and 2003. Was this because Triple H was pushed too hard or cause Triple H made a good heel?
When I think back to 2003, I remember how much Triple H use to annoy me. His speeches would go on for so long, I would often go and make myself food, and by the time I came back he was still talking. I could not stand hearing him talk. And I was fed up of him always being the center of Raw.
As time passed, I began to find him tolerable. Recently, I even started to like him. I look back on his career and wonder if I just saw the negative side to his career out of sheer annoyance of hearing his voice every week?
Triple H helped Randy Orton, Batista and Sheamus build their careers in WWE. He has been face and heel. He has been a single wrestler, a tag team wrestle, and a leader of a stable. He won the 1997 King of the Ring and 2002 Royal Rumble. As for championships, he has held the World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE Championship, the European Championship, the Intercontinental Championship and the tag team belts.
And let’s not forget DX. The stable that did not care what people thought, but instead just did what they want.
Triple H has given a lot to the wrestling business over the years. He even accepted punishment for the Madison Square Garden incident, in which Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Sean Waltman, and Scott Hall broke kayfabe and hugged in the middle of the ring. Waltman and Hall left for WCW, so they did not receive any punishment. HBK was the champion at the time, so he did not receive punishment either. However, HHH went from championship contender to jobber for several months. He did not complain during this time though.
Triple H may give his full effort to wrestling and WWE, but does he give more than The Undertaker? Does he have the right to take that streak away? I do not think anyone should have this right, unless it was Shawn Michaels. It’s not that I do not like Triple H, but he hasn’t had the same long rivalry like HBK and Taker did. Yes he has a vengeance but it’s not the same.
