WWE Fans Pick Triple H Over Undertaker In “2.21.11″ Battle
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."
