A Bluffer’s Guide To…. HHH

Are you confused as to why many people online dislike HHH despite him getting huge ovations in every arena around the world? If so read on…

What does HHH stand for anyway?
Hunter Hurst Helmsley, he once played a rich blue-blooded aristocrat, then a degenerate, now he’s a rich corporate manager, it’s funny how these things work out.

The Kliq/Clique
HHH was a part of a clique with Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman (X-pac), this group had a lot of political influence backstage that they used to get to the top and to make sure they stayed there.


Marriage
For a long time the worst kept secret in wrestling was that HHH was married to Stephanie McMahon, many people see their marrigage as a politicial move by HHH. Even more sensible people would agree that it has benefited Hunter’s career.



Reign of terror
From 2002 until 2005 HHH spent a lot of time being world champion; many argue that this was at the expense of more deserving wrestlers. Others would say that RVD wasn’t ready to be champion especially as when he did win the belt he was caught with cannabis, Scott Steiner was in no shape to take the gold and he did drop the title to Goldberg. It’s also said that he needed to booked strongly in order to legitimise a new world championship.


Buries people/never puts anybody over
Some say that he buries people, this means that he makes others look bad while he’s beating them (which is different to the traditional use of the word but that’s another story). An example of this would be always beating Chris Jericho and pedigreed London and Kendrick for no good reason after they had just helped him
Others point to Orton, Goldberg, Batista, Cena, Benoit and even Ric Flair as examples of him doing his best to make opponents look good.

Other
Some even say he’s overated in the ring and that he’s praised far too much when compared to other wrestlers. He also has a very large nose.

However many more would say that he’s a great a wrestler who fully deserves all of his success.
Even some his detractors would say that he’s a good wrestler and could do a good job behind the scenes pointing to him signing Sin Cara and Kharma and his love of old-school wrestling.
