See this is a perfect example of my feelings towards HHH living in HBK's shadow. This HBK/Taker is such a huge main event. And not because it's a rematch. Because it's the two of the biggest stars the Federation has ever produced. If it were HHH/Taker retirement vs. streak would it headline Mania? HHH was so played out. They tried to push him by bringing in what I call, "the weapon of last defense." Bringing VKM and the family into it. HHH/Orton went absolutely no where and they're match blew last year along with the whole fued in general. So then they bring back DX only for HHHs benefit. If it's not true? Who would HHH have fueded with and people would be interested? They can put HBK anywhere on the card and the fans will love him. Now Shawn is headlining WM once again and HHH is gonna face some zero red head Sheamus. The only time HHH is bareable is when he's a heel. He's only made it in the biz because first HBK took him under his wing. Then second he married into the family. Everything was handed to him.
No....I strongly disagree here. HHH would have made his legacy with or without marying Stephanie. He would have had backstage pull just as easily as the Undertaker, Hogan, Austin, the Rock and any other top star has. HHH was the best wrestler going from 2000-2005 easily. He was making 2 mil per year prior to his marrying Stephanie.
His match with Orton was just a matter of bad chemistry between the two. He has had legendary matches with Michaels, the Undertaker, Austin and many others. He was always a star. When he broke out of DX after WM14, he cemented his own legacy and formed his own crew (Evolution). Trust me, nothing was "handed" to him. He worked his way up just like everyone else. Michaels did the same. Who the hell was Michaels when he was merely a "rocker"?? It's when he became HBK that he really started to shine.
