Underestimating the Game: Triple H Unappreciated by WWE Fans

A commentary by Darius Brown:

Although Triple H has been in the wrestling business since 1992, it seems that people think that his dues started with a storyline marriage in 1999. They assumed that he slept his way to the top. Forgetting he already jobbed to the likes of Alex Wright, feuded with Duke "The Dumpster" Droese and had an embarrassing 20-second loss to a broken Ultimate Warrior.

Nobody was complaining about him then.

Is it because he has 13 world title victories? Probably, but why is that? Kurt Angle also has thirteen and is seen as a great champion. Triple H just slept his way to the top.

Edge has 12 in a span of 3 or 4 years. But Triple H needs to let others step up be the man now. What's up with this logic used by WWE fans. Although I am not a fan of his, you still have to respect The Game.

Where people think he's in it for himself, the truth is he's in it for the business. He eat, sleeps and breathes pro wrestling and always has what's best in mind. He goes over when it's right for business for him to win. He's not the glory hog people make him out to be.

Here's an image for you, think of WrestleMania the grandest stage of them all. Who's got the undefeated streak? Err no, not Triple H. In fact, he's made careers and added to other's legacy at WrestleMania. Check out his 'Mania history:

Wrestlemania XII - Jobbed to the Ultimate Warrior in 1:36
Wrestlemania XV - Lost to Kane by DQ
Wrestlemania XVII - Lost to Undertaker
Wrestlemania XX - Lost the belt clean to Chris Benoit
Wrestlemania 21 - Lost the belt to Batista
Wrestlemania 22 - Lost title match to John Cena
Wrestlemania XXIV - Lost title match to Randy Orton

The man's got a losing record at the industry's biggest event. What other top star can say that? Hogan, Taker, Cena, Edge? Nope...More?
