Hunter Smarks Put in Check

Commentary from Pulse Wrestling on Triple H:

The minute Triple H returned, smart fans collectively farted their hate across message boards all over the internet. Here’s a good one from a board I read when I need to feel particularly smart… the W board.

“Good to see Triple H satiate his ego and get his revenge on Orton. God I really hate that man.”

This kind of stuff seriously makes me laugh. Satiate his ego? Give me a break. Triple H made Randy Orton’s career. Here was a guy with no personality and a bland moveset who the biggest star in professional wrestling at the time said “That kid, that’s the one I’m putting in my new star-making faction. It will be like the Four Horsemen, only it will have a previous world champion, a current world champion, and two future world champions in it.” And thus Triple H took a very bland, very green kid and made him into a legitimate star. And regardless of whether you think Randy Orton deserves his spot or not, you can’t deny he’s over. It’s because Triple H works. He’s a star and he’s a star maker.

And really, on the subject of ego, here’s a guy who is arguably the most powerful professional wrestler since Hulk Hogan in terms of his political power and he goes over two years without being the world champion. You know, from the time Hulk Hogan won the WWE Championship in 1984 to the time he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship, he never went as long as Triple H did between title reigns.

So smart marks, drop your stupid, groundless hating. You come across like an incredibly ignorant child who’s bitching to his parents about the popular kid in school who has all the money and all the cool people hanging around him. You want to see an ego? Look no further then Vince McMahon himself, who does stupid shit like devote thirty minutes of air time on Raw to his public temper-tantrum over a venue snafu. I’ve listened to smart marks talk about how bad things are going to get when Vince McMahon kicks off and Triple H ends up in charge of the WWE. I say bring it the fuck on. Because unlike Vince McMahon, Triple H seems to have a good perspective on what works and doesn’t work these days in professional wrestling. You guys see ego? I see a guy with a long history of making smart business decisions. He’s the guy I want in charge.
