No lie, Triple H is what made a lot of my friends stop watching wrestling. Raw opening up week after week with him and Steph droning on for 20 minutes became unbearable. I will give him credit where its due though, I always liked his look, and The Pedigree is a god tier finishing move.

Ummm if Kane bleeds, how would you see it? Austin may as well give up.
Wtf Kane sounds like Thomas Dolby.
HE'S GOING TO SET HIMSELF IN FIRE!

Off topic but man, the ending of Grease really sends the wrong message.
Lana looks great in that look though, but it's still inferior to business suit Lana

Are we all in agreement that 2000 was the best year in WWE history?
No. 88.
It was a very nice looking high kick from someone hasn't wrestled a single match yet.
Looks better than anything Eva has managed to do in NXT so far

It's Liquidsnaking. (i.e. when a person acts like a performer they are physically attracted to is super good against all objective evidence)

1997. Shawn and Bret at the top > HHH at the top.

Whilst Melina vs Alicia Fox is indeed the greatest match of all time, I don't think one match elevates that year to quite match 2000. Close, but not quite.

Lord that CZW stuff is gnarly. Probably would have dug it in my late teens.
I think Brock/Ambrose could be a great match. They were pretty good at Fastlane.

So I don't always live in the past.
Sting might be my 3-4 favorite all time, and when I heard that he is retiring, I thought good. This last decade has been pretty bad. His WWE run was 15 years too late, and just bad all around. They didn't know what to do with him, and he didn't have it anymore.
Thanks Sting, NWA WCW is how Ill remember you. When you closed every Monday night dropping from the rafters, Ill never forget me and my friends hyped as f**k. It was the best of times. I will carry those feelings with me for ever.
Crow Sting 1997 was one of the best gimmicks ever. Im going to erase the entire WWE Sting from my memory.

I mean the talent was good and the crowds were hot for the product but the creative doesn't hold over as good as say 1996 WCW or 93 WCW.
Bruh.
Never forget the 2K commercial. The best thing we got out of WWE Sting.

The more old Ted DiBiase I watch the more I love it. He was a perfect talent. Not a weak spot on him at all in any department. He had everything.

Only if you measure your WWE years from Raw After 'Mania of that year to the Wrestlemania of the following year...
It was a rare period where anything stuck when they threw it at the wall, but yeah. Trump gets hot crowds too, doesn't mean he's the best politician ever.
We talking Million Dollar Man days, or pre? Either way, you're right.

Not a chance. 88 or 89 come to mind as particularly special years. 2000 was WWE in Idiot Mode.

Imagine if that was his WWE entrance theme instead of the crap they saddled him with.

Definitely, though a lot of ECW talent went on to WCW/WWE as well. Certain dudes, like Nick Gage, will never make it out of the hardcore leagues.

2000 HHH > or = Authority HHH >>>>> DX HHH > generic face HHH > Hunter Hearst Hemsley > Evolution HHH
2000 HHH was like a prototype for Authority HHH, where his inflated sense of importance due to being married to the boss' daugther is played up, and he could go the distance in the WWE Main Event style as well as anybody at the time. Steve Austin was out most of the year, and he stepped up as the legit big Heel of the year. And he looked amazing.
Authority HHH is like the polished version of 2000 HHH. They've taken the "B+ player with the elevated self-worth cuz he married to the boss daughter's" thing to the next level, wearing suits and ties and shit. He's like a megamix of Vince McMahon and Vince Russo and all those authroity figures we've hated, and the best part is that he was totally right. He IS responsible for WWE's future, he does control NXT, this IS his ring and he can tell you to leave.
And its not like Daniel Bryan was just carrying him. This nigga put on the boots and WORKED. Dude busted out tiger suplexes and chain submissions. Like dude, where has this version of HHH been in the last decade?
The other versions of HHH are much worse. The out of shape HHH who did boring long as matches and boring lost ass promos and went over much more interesting wrestlers on a annuial basis. Then there's DX HHH, which is just one long tired dick joke extending forever(like my dick hey-oooooooooooooooo). And I just don't like Face HHH. We shouldn't want to cheer this dude. He is the bad guy.

What does he mean do the job? Pin me. Pay me? What?
Well then he would look more over than HHH.
Then how would HHH have been inducted into Arnold's fake Hall of Fame.

Million Dollar Man especially, but even before he was solid. The gimmick cemented him. He was seriously, like Curt Hennig
Absolutely perfect
Not a single weak link in his chain. He wasn't amazing at in-ring but sucked on the mic, or vice versa. Nor was he the craziest partier who was at risk of death or getting popped for roids. He was excellent on every frontier.

CZW is incredibly enjoyable to watch. Their early 2000s are just fun on a whole different level, regardless of gore. It's fucking great.

Sable's wearing new clothes for once.
I'm always waiting for something worthwhile... haven't seen it yet, though...
Totally. Good matches, good storylines, and memorable promos that they didn't have to play week after week. People remember them now, even people who weren't huge fans back then. Today's team could learn a lot from that.
This is pretty spot on. 2000 HHH is totally the rough draft for Authority HHH.
Also short hair HHH is the superior HHH look.
