WWE’s blueprint for the Triple H-Undertaker WrestleMania feud has yet to unfold, but as far as the fans at the live Fresno, California edition of Monday Night RAW are concerned, Triple H is the bigger babyface.
According to multiple correspondent reports, both HHH and Taker received admirable, favorable reactions from the live crowd, but the pop for Triple H’s surprise return far exceeded that of The Undertaker.
The disparity in pop can certainly be explained without resorting to popularity; in addition to the fact that Triple H has been away from television for longer, The Undertaker’s return was effectively “spoiled” by the “2-21-11″ campaign. The element of surprise certainly worked in favor of Triple H.
At the same time, the crowd reaction for HHH, which sources say easily eclipsed that for any Superstar on the show, clearly suggests that he has his fanbase. Though there is a vast anti-Triple H sentiment within the online wrestling community, it is consistently shown that the “WWE Universe,” on the whole, still views Triple H as a top star.

Triple H Confronts The Undertaker
After several long weeks, the WWE Universe finally discovered the meaning behind the cryptic “2.21.11” signs. Both The Undertaker and Triple H emerged from months of recuperation to stun everyone. The two goliath Superstars said not a word when they stood toe-to-toe in the center of the ring. Instead, they each acknowledged the WrestleMania sign hanging in the arena and appeared to offer a tacit agreement to face off on The Grandest Stage of Them All on April 3 in Atlanta. Let the battle begin!

Chris Jericho Comments on Writing About Vince McMahon & Triple H: "I Wanted to Make Sure They Each Knew"
Chris Jericho's new book Undisputed, is not a WWE-sanctioned affair, so Jericho has freedom to discuss what he wanted.
Jericho is frequently critical of McMahon himself, but stresses that even if the book was published under the WWE banner the boss would not have censored criticisms of himself at all.
He explained: "I talked to Vince about it and Triple H too. I had a lot of confrontations with him when I first started, but it worked out.
"I think it was one of the reasons why WWE in the early 2000s was so exciting because there were a lot of guys rubbing each other up the wrong way personally, which led to them being better professionally.
"I said I was telling stories the way I remember them and it wasn't always rosy. Both of them were like, 'Well, that's life. Good for you. Go for it'. I wanted to make sure they each knew."

Rumor Mill - Backstage Tension in TNA, Heat on Top Knockout
Although it started out as an internet rumor, there appears to be some legitimate heat on TNA Knockout Mickie James after she raved on Twitter about The Rock's return to "Monday Night Raw."
Mickie tweeted, "Finally getting a chance to catch up on @TheRock's charismatic return... Literally got chills... & remembered why I do... What I do!"
The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson responded, "Thank u MJ..we're blessed to be able to perform..keep kickin ass and being diverse in your career...I dig your music... I always admire diversity..takes guts..especially in country..if u sing jamey johnson for me I'll come get that tooth..:)"
While TNA President Dixie Carter is said not to be offended by the tweet, a lot of TNA locker room members felt Mickie, a long time WWE Womens Champion, should be promoting TNA on Twitter, and not glowing about WWE's latest angle.
"We're having a hard enough time keeping anyone's attention during Wrestlemania season," one prominent TNA wrestler told WrestleZone over the weekend, "we have Kurt Angle's entire personal life, including his relationship with his children, playing out on TV to get a .1 boost in the numbers. Mickie should be a locker room leader, and should know better. Instead, she just makes it seem like she's longing to go to back to WWE."
Our source also says TNA management is "obsessed" regarding WWE swiping Kevin Nash and Booker T from right underneath TNA's big "Main Event Mafia Reunion."
The source says things are "as tense as I've ever seen it" in TNA at the moment.
