I will take them one at a time. Triple H trained by Killer Kowalski wrestled for Independent Wrestling Promotions before being signed to a Contract by World Championship Wrestling. Decent wrestlers in those years and very fundamentally sound and knew the basics.
By the time he came to The WWF, Triple H was a good solid wrestler who could have good matches with just about anyone. Now, if he didn't like you, he could bury you and make you look bad in a match, if he chose to, but he was lucky enough in the WWF/WWE that The Booking Team put him in the ring with a lot of good, if underrated wrestlers. I disagree with your assessment of Triple H's Matches.
The matches he had against Owen Hart, Mark Mero, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Mankind, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Underaker and The Rock were good ones. Maybe you need to read some of the books that have been written by Professional Wrestlers in recent years. Shawn Michaels was a great in-ring Performer that had great matches at House Shows, Live Events, Television Tapings and Pay Per Views.
Whether it was a building that held 5,000 people or a Football Stadium with 60,000 people, Shawn Michaels gave you a great match. My brother and I were at the 2005 SummerSlam Pay Per View where Shawn Michaels wrestled Hulk Hogan in The Main Event and this was one of the greatest matches of Hulk Hogan's Career. Hulk Hogan could barely move, Shawn Michaels did all the work.
Before you judge me as a Huge Shawn Michaels' Fan, I'm not, I give credit where credit is due. I am a Bret The Hitman Hart Fan and have 3 signed copies of Bret The Hitman Hart's Book. Even people like myself who considered Shawn Michaels to be a spoiled, whining crybaby who played Backstage Politics cannot discount Shawn's in-ring skills.
GREAT post. I think the problem is that Yahoo Answers is generally inhabited by small children with no real wrestling knowledge that have the memory of a goldfish. I don't think this is the place for you my friend - try a forum with real, knowledgeable fans - you are wasting your time talking about Gagne/Sammartino/Thesz, real legends who Triple H and Shawn Michaels are not fit to lace up their boots.
You are indeed correct. Shawn Michaels almost put the WWF out of business - everyone left for WCW and we were left with this talentless cretin - he just couldn't draw - he was ok as a bit-part performer but Mr Wrestlemania? Do me a favour.
Yes, he can wrestle but so can a thousand other wrestlers out there. DX weren't bad - I blame the writers really because the sketches were really poor and not designed for someone of their age. No-one in their right mind can say Triple H isn't poor in the ring.
Very low technical ability, very slow, to reliant on a handful of basic moves, not innovative. I love this image, love his intensity but he always has to rely on someone better than him to carry the match. It is well documentated that Triple H is hated by other wrestlers, in books, on the net, on Youtube and well known that he is a self-serving, egotisitical bully who cares nothing other than making sure he is the top guy.
I can't believe he beat CM Punk - that was so unbelievably selifish, narrow-minded - he put himself before the welfare of the company. Michaels, you're right, is disgracefully insincere. I have watched him since The Midnight Rockers in the AWA (how many of these so call knowledgable fans here can say that?!?!) - they were a great team.
He is arrogant, self-serving fool who takes great pleasure in seeing other people fail as a result of his selfishness. Love the comment that they should have put him in a mask! Owen Hart COULD talk, unlike the shitestopper.
Good work mate, you are too good for this lot here. Viva Sammartino!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
