Fan response to the 411mania.com article: Triple H's Tainted Legacy
This is one fan's response to the previous post:
This is complete and utter B.S. Triple H is great because of Triple H. Triple H marrying Stephanie has nothing to do with abilities in the ring, the Mic, or anywhere else. This man has always lived and breathed wrestling. I'm sick and tired of everyone one being on his back about marrying Stephanie. Sure he married her but that doesn't take away from his abilities. Whether people realize it or not Triple H is synonomous with the WWE. One of the most recognized figures when it comes to wrestling or non wrestilng fans. A lot of people watch WWE either beacuse they love to watch him wrestle or they love for him to get his butt kicked. Face it people Triple H is the most constant thing in WWE for over a decade now. You people don't realize that marrying Stephanie doesnt automatically means that your going to be at the top of the WWE. Him marrying her could have just as well back fired him and Vince could have put Triple H in a place where you wouldn't even know who he was at all. You want to know the real reason why Triple H is so much the constant in WWE and the fact that he's Vince's go to guy? It's because he is the only and I mean only big Superstar/Wrestler to not leave him or walk out on him. Your smart people do your homework. Austin,Taker,Warrior,Savage,Shawn Micheals,Rock,Ric Flair,Kurt Angle, and even your blessed Hulk Hogan has all left Vince. The only person not to leave is Triple H. That's some damn loyalty, and that's the real reason why he's the constant in WWE. Vince always rewards loyalty. Go back and look at the infamous "Curtain Call" and you'll see what I'm talking about. He stuck with the crap he went through now and just as Vince said he's reaping the benefits of overcoming that. If I recall a certain wrestler by the name of MVP is going through a similar type of thing. If MVP sticks with it watch this year is going to be an awesome year for him professionally. Triple H is and will always will be one of the greatest of all times, and none of you can ever take that away from him. Next time do your research. I wish people would finally give Triple H the respect he deserves.
Triple H’s Tainted Legacy
Triple H knows wrestling history. He is proud to be a wrestler, he is aware of the significance of every title reign, and at heart The Game will always be a fan. He has given his all to professional wrestling. He loves wrestling as much as its fans, unlike The Rock and Brock Lesnar who walked away from the sport in their primes for "greener pastures." It is Triple H's drive, dedication, success, and God-given talent in wrestling that would ideally put him in an all-time elite category. Unfortunately, Triple H will probably never be put in the category of Stone Cold, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan. He will probably not even crack the top ten list of "Greatest of All-Time" for most writers, pundits, and publications. Why? The answer is not complicated. He married the boss's daughter...More?

Christy Hemme Injured
TNA is reporting that Christy Hemme injured her neck while training with AJ Styles and will not compete at Genesis. They also state that she will be out of action for several months. There has been speculation that this is a work, because of the WWE "Jeff Hardy attacked" storyline.
TNA sources are reporting that Hemme's neck injury is legit and not part of a storyline. Reports out of yesterday's K&S WrestleFest in New Jersey was that Christy appeared to be in good spirits and showing no sign of injury. Here is a picture of Hemme with a fan at WrestleFest:
