I made a mistake before uploading, so I had to do it again. Triple H was unlucky with timing, plus he was just better as a heel. What did you think of Triple H's return?
I’ve always come across his return along with the rest of the year and always wanted to wonder how he went from a face to a heel in that short span of months. Never mind. I watched this entire video and now I remember coming across that heel turn.
They didn’t book him right as a babyface either.
Cried over Triple H??? SMH
@@reekgotti3209 That's my goat. Sure did.
Triple H’s WrestleMania X8 main event is more about him dealing with his wife while the reigning WWE Champion, Chris Jericho got relegated to being Mrs Helmsley/Levesque’s whipping boy and it’s also overshadowed by the memorable Rock vs Hogan match.
Seven years later, Triple H main evented another WrestleMania yet his WWE title match got overshadowed by Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels which is an all-time classic like Rock vs Hogan!
HHH Stone Cold and The Rock were without a doubt the Three-Headed Monster of the Attitude Era. His return from the quad injury was EPIC! I still watch it from time to time and get goosebumps!
Same. That WWF Desire video with U2 on his return is so motivating!
Looking at hindsight HHH gone was the best thing in 2001
Chris Jericho won 3 world titles(2 wcw and 1 wwe title)
Kurt angle was the biggest babyface
Rvd was poised for bigger things in the turn of 2002
Booker t even if he looked like a fool he was in the mainevent
Triple h got one of the biggest pops in wwe when he returned that such a big moment 💚
It’s so funny when JR called Stephanie a Jezebel lol
Love that iconic photo with H with the two titles. But him being the first to wear the undisputed title was cool too.
When HHH initially returned, I swear it was definitely one of the greatest returns ever. That loud crowd pop truly was amazing and while it was risky to turn HHH a babyface, I’m glad it was able to work for a bit. While it was legendary to see him dethrone Jericho at Mania X8, it does suck his reign didn’t since he lost at Backlash, while he still had classics on SmackDown!, it wasn’t hitting the same, and soon as he went back to Raw when Bischoff came, and then turned heel against HBK, history changed for the better😁. But as for his babyface run, it was ok, just a shame, it didn’t go well after Mania. Excellent video, homie.😊
Throwing around the word legendary way too casually there, homie.
@@CheezusChrist1776😂😂😂
That picture of Kurt in the thumbnail always gets me. He changed so much over the years.
Oh it’s true, it’s DAMN true 🏅
Triple h's comeback in 2002 was amazing that pop he got at Madison square garden was phenomenal winning the Royal rumble winning the undisputed title then turning Heel on Shawn Michaels lead to the greatest match in SummerSlam history triple h had a good 2002 except for the reign of terror
The Reign of Terror is too overhated, it has far too many good moments in 02, 03, 04 & 05 to simply be called bad.
@@mrmoviemanic1I agree with you 1000
I cried when he got hurt and was pumped when he was back. The summer, fall of 2001 and winter 2002 was so hard to get through as a diehard H fan.
How'd you feel about that return in 2007?
@@heelgill Same level of happiness when he returned, combined with relief since it was an injury he experienced before. So mentally, he knew what the journey would be like. He knew he could come back. And I was grateful it wasn't completely torn like the first one. I was hopeful he might become champion again since he hadn't had it in 2 ½ years. And after reading his book when he talks about his disappointing 02 face run being over before he really had a chance to show he could be one, the momentum in 07, felt like it was his time. Although in 2006, the crowd was pushing hard as hell for him to get a tweener run. Even if management was still fully behind the Cena train.
@@heelgillthe '02 return was better because it was the first time he was ever gone, 07 was great, but 07 was just a very weird and dark year from January all the way to November
Triple H returning in 2007 was just a distraction from all the messiness that time, you can say
Triple H being out from the times he was out back in 2001 and half of 2007 felt surreal in itself
@@KingFreddyG97 Weird and dark in what way?
In my opinion, while Triple H's return was met with so much fanfare, his face run at this time was underwhelming. His feud with Jericho didn't really hit the mark and was immensely overshadowed by The Rock vs Hogan, he won the title at the worst possible time, while Hogan was gaining so much traction as a babyface, and his change in his wrestling style, though necessary so he could avoid injuries, impacted the quality of his matches. It's no wonder he had to turn heel afterwards, he's just better suited for that role, not that he isn't a good babyface, but it doesn't hold a candle to his work as a heel.
The 02 Rumble was stacked with stars. HHH made the most sense. But it wasn't an obvious choice.
You could see Kurt, Austin, or Undertaker as a favorite.
H v Austin should've happened because remember Austin set HHH up stealing his cellphone and using it to stalk Sara (Undertaker's wife)...And Austin made HHH lose the IC title to Kane at Judgement Day. And HHH got injured trying to save Austin from tapping in their tag match. So, in storyline, HHH has plenty of reasons to want Austin's ass.
Yea that would've made perfect sense,but they turn austin babyface after the invasion angle
@@travienantley674 Kinda yes, kinda no. Creative would say "they turned Austin babyface after the Invasion angle."
However, fans would say, "Austin was never heel. He was still getting cheers after WM and his alliance with HHH even before the Invasion."
It was kinda embarrassing. Some smarks had signs mocking it at Insurrextion, Judgement Day and KOTR ppvs.
@Speedyreedy1218 I remember that lol,that night after wrestlemania 17 the crowd was so ready to cheer for triple h,I remember watching that and thinking how stone cold and triple h was going to form a alliance when a couple months before that they was in a heated fued
@@travienantley674 A lot of fans felt you thought.
Their explanation in the promo on Smackdown made sense. But fans just didn't want to accept it.
Fans find HHH naturally hateable and Austin naturally lovable, so making their heel/face positions switch is bad business long term.
His return was great and the moment of it. I did like his Kurt Angle match. Although after it with the Jericho feud mainly it's placement on the Mania card and a bit of his pre heel turn I felt like could've been better but it was ok
People sleep on HHH v Kurt matches. I don't know why.
Only bad matches he's had were against Khali.
That Royal Rumble return was iconic, The run had some ups and downs aswell as putting HHH Vs Jericho in the main event instead of Hogan vs Rock wasn't the right call but the run was decent.
11:53 bro left a take in 😂😂😂
Damn feel old watching this again 😅 i remember the first time I watched it back when I was 12 lol
"He was right, he'd go lower"🤣🤣🤣
Was bittersweet about the breakup about the McMahon-Helmsleys. 😢😢😢
Good drama and memories. Fans (most) wanted them a part. I loved them together.
HHH = "Time to play tha game! OwO"
Even before the Beautiful Day Vignettes, in May, I spotted a "Get well soon, Hunter" sign on a Smackdown. I think that episode was in Canada. There were some HHH signs on one of the Louisiana episodes. Towards the fall in Boston, on Raw, I spotted a "It ain't the same without The Game." And in California at the Vengeance PPV, there were a few HHH signs they had to pan away from quickly.
Imagine if they were able to do triple h Shawn Michaels versus Scott and Kevin DX versus NWO
As a child I couldn't watch Raw live because it would air at 9pm. But I got lucky that school was off when he returned so I got to watch it live. 3rd grade me got excited. And I wasn't even a HHH fan at the time.
That msg return was iconic man 🔥🔥🔥
HBK threatened HHH about joining the nWo. Any diehard HHH fan should've known a heel turn was coming. No one demands his character of anything and get away with it.
The feud with Jericho stunted it immediately. If that feud had been a lot better, the whole run would have been better overall.
I think if the NWO feud was still able to happen it’d be interesting to see what a face Triple H vs heel Shawn Michaels could’ve looked like.
They got to showcase it for the next few years thankfully.
@@mrmoviemanic1 Um. No they didn't. That was H v HBK, with their own history and rivalry. Without the nWo garbage which would've made no sense since HBK wasn't in it.
I truly don't think face vs face was the issue, I think the issue was they were already doing face vs face with Hogan and Rock and Vince didn't want 2 of those matches at mania
11:59 lol homie released that he delivered that line funny as hell, but forgot to edit it out
All I learned from this is I still think Steph is a fine as I did as a kid 😂
Awwe. #StephSquad
HHH owned Edge in that promo segment on Smackdown from May 02.
I don't know where this garbage was coming from people saying H not moving the same in 2002. He kept the same style and signature moves. He hit everything like he used to. Still sold ranas from the small guys who did them. Still was doing his tiltawhirl backbreaker on smaller guys (Shawn especially).
I binge watched this whole period during the pandemic and he's moving the same.
Chris Jericho was moving goofy at this point
So I am clearly having a Mandela effect here because I clearly remember this match being inside the hell in the cell with triple h winning standing on the top of the hell in the cell holding up both titles. I know I'm not the only one that remembers this.
No. He lost the title three weeks after mania to Hogan.
He was holding nothing on top of the cell v Jericho.
It Was Awesome to see triple h ❤
I will always love watching triple h's reaction when he came back. I remember him saying that he got kind of choked up, But he kept on reminding himself he had to play a heel.
Lbh hunter best heel Ever honestly was always a heel even Wen the face lol
I still don’t get how they didn’t put booker t vs Austin at mania x8..booker attacked austin multiple times in ‘01 that it made sense..Booker attack king of the ring, cost him the championship at vengeance, supermarket brawl, austin eliminated booker at number 30..everything was ironically set for x8
That make sense but I feel like WWE really wanted Austin vs Hogan at Wrestlemania X8 but they couldn't agree on who would go over, so instead he got relegated to facing Scott Hall due to him and The Rock feuding with NWO.
I liked this face run for triple h but when I think about triple h in general i think of a heel. I think of the guy JR made us hate. "DAMN YOU TRIPLE H. DAMN HIS SOUL" I guess this was his equivalent to the rock's Hollywood rock run. The rock was too likeable for that heel run. Nobody wanted to boo the guy. But i do rate the rock as a heel better than triple h as a face unless its dx face triple h
I always booed Rock and Austin. HHH is my guy. Face or heel.
The only time I've ever actually disliked HHH as a character is during the Authority era
@@presidentc4 Refreshing to hear!
0:09 The Rack
Lol bro wtf,classic triple h saying y2j may not be ready or etc is crazy lol
I wish one thing could’ve happened in 2002. At Wrestlemania X8 it would’ve been Hall and Nash vs HHH and HBK. HBK return a few weeks later but if HBK came back like a month or 2 earlier could’ve been something special.
His body wasn't ready for a match til August though.
I still wish we would've got it.
Even HHH v Hall on a ppv, I wish we got. They never did it.
H fought all his kliq bros on PPV except Hall. 😔 At least they had a semi main event at the Garden only the fans there saw in 96...
@@Speedyreedy1218 I don’t think 4-5 months would’ve made a difference on his body plus HBK was having ladder matches before his 02 return.
@@mattcaporuscio6956 They know their bodies better than us. And apparently it made a difference. If Nash doesn't tear his quad and he audibles and helps Show in the match, he doesn't even if know if his instincts are still there, much less his body.
Triple was never the same after his injury, he came back too big and lost all his speed that he had beforehand. Too jacked when came back
False.
@@Speedyreedy1218 Truth hurts , 2000 he had 4 star match after 4 star match, after injury he was slow and too big and too boring
@@alanarmstrong6460 Truth doesn't hurt. He was only 12lbs heavier, still had his speed, hit all his moves, and was extremely popular through the spring and summer even after stagnant momentum from Hogan taking the title from him.
That's why the HBK betrayal worked. Fans still loved HHH going into Vengeance and were looking forward for a DX reunion with the real originals. The crowd went silent when he pedigreed Shawn.
That's the reaction he wanted. Extreme shock and disappointment leading to hate..
Triple H had a better face run from mid 2006-2013. But yer he's like the Darth Vader to Rock and Austin. I do still like this face run but it's clear he was always meant to be the top heel.
That's what he said.
7:41 did you just accidentally ruin Stephanie McMahon for me? How have I never noticed those buck teeth?? 😂😭
H and Jericho had a great HIAC. Maybe you're sour on it because theirs was a technical match with some blood, but not spot crazy.
I think it's better than almost any HIAC match post-2008. Except for Edge and Seth, New Day and Usos, and End of an Era.
@@mrmoviemanic1 I think all HIACs after 2005 are boring. It lost it's prestige after 2005. Almost lost in Armageddon 2000 with the 6 Man. But H worked his tail off 2002-2005 to restore it's storytelling ane fatality aura.
Multi man HIACs, HIAC without color, and HIAC with no storied, nasty, serious bloodfeud makes no sense. They're just regular cage matches to me. It doesn't help when the "talent" of the last 12-15 years is boring.
It was a robe. It was HHH'S robe, not jacket.
No Way Out 02 was a good match for the story told.
Triple H should have kept the belt until Vengeance or King of The Ring.
Hogan disagreed.
I would’ve loved to see a Hulk Hogan and Triple H double turn in 2002
HHH, The Rock and Austin vs the NWO and have the double turn take place where NWO betray Hogan and Triple H betrays Rock and Austin
And have The Kliq as a faction
HHH wasn't drafted to Smackdown. The draft happened while he was champion so he was technically a FA. Vince claimed him to SD a week before Backlash whether he won or not (which contradicted the whole point of the draft concept. But I digress).
You should make a video of hulk hogans 2002 run
HHH in his book said the boys talked to management and convinced them to take the strap off him to Hogan.
Hogan knows best
@@edge803 Hogan knows what he wants.
The pop that he got at the Royal Rumble is unforgettable, But i feel like his match with Jericho being the main event of wrestlemania instead of hogan vs Rock wasn't the right call.
I JUST FUCKIN DDT'D THE LIKE BUTTON SOOO HARD.
I think when he came back as a Babyface was good
Undertaker running from HHH was hilarious.
Rock and Heyman ruined the KOTR match. Undertaker injured H's elbow during one of those tag match brawl ambushes which impacted his ability in the KOTR match. Not too much though.
Second or third fiddle always. Nvr the Top Guy like Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, Shawb Michaels, The Hitman, John Cena, Roman Reins, CM Punk.
Can’t believe what he was seeing or what he was hearing?
I was pissed because i knew hhh reputation in the locker room and i knew guys like RVD would get screwed over and thats what happened and then the that title reign of hhh 2003🙄 booker t, goldberg just to name a few it would be more years to come
Jericho vs HHH Hell in a Cell match, I don't find that match weak, I find that match pretty underrated.
Weak for a cell. Shouldve been at wrestlemania. Only way to top the hulk vs rock match before them, looking back wouldve been to have a stipulation or spectacle like the cell especially at mania and wouldve been the 2nd in 3 years at mania but at same time HHH was limited probably in his return to be prorected although the cell was only a month or so after mania
@@HurrikaneBEA5T It wasn't weak for a cell. Most people weren't digging Jericho at the top. You had fickle fans wanting him to get there. Then when he was there, mock him.
H was the only top guy having major matches with him (Last Man Standing, HIAC). Austin primarily worked him in tags. When Austin or Rock worked Jericho in singles, there was always interference or a weapon of some kind used. Even though they were big faces, they were protected. So that stunted Jericho's legitimacy as a top guy. Different story in 2008. They believed in him then. Usually you aren't taken seriously til you go heel.
Lucy!
It was a good thing until the Reign of Terror started
Reign of Triumph.
So I went and checked what the original idea for the Mania main event angle was and it was gonna be an affair angle where when Trips was out Steph had this affair at first with RVD but then later it was revealed in tape it was Jericho this would of made more sense as to why Steph and Jericho joined but sadly Trips put it down cause he thought it was not believable so instead we got the Lucy the dod debacle for an angle instead.
I learned about this from Jericho's inside the ropes interview from 2019 btw.
I swear I always thought that Jericho and Stephanie alliance was forced,
Stephanie McMahon was that main chick
He was never face in 2000.
I think he means around Summerslam when he was feuding with Angle….HHH was the…lesser heal in the rivalry.
Stone colds heel run with that heel version of his theme music was awesome for me idk what ppl were mad about 🤣🤣🤣 he was a true piece of shit!
How the hell did they think Hogan would be able to save buyrates and ratings when they had the likes of Triple H, Stone Cold, Undertaker, Angle, Kane etc
H said the boys convinced management to take the belt off him for Hogan.
Greatest come back ever f*** your feelings
Yeah ngl 2000-2001 hhh was just different!! My favorite hhh after that I just didn't care for him after 2002 especially when he did THE AUTHORITY SHIT!!! 😂 DEFINITELY WASNT A FAN! But I respect him for what he has done! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💪🏿
Jericho's pajamas outfits in 2002-2003 were cringe.
Huh? Nah lol from 04 on his outfits were bad
@@MrAjking808 Yes they were.
His 2004 sets got better.
See, Booker beat HHH in 2002. Eff off about WM19.
Bro what about the feud with hbk,rvd being awarded the whc the elimination chamber at survivor series and armageddon
Man I wish Kevin Nash didn’t tear his quad. I would have been cool to see dx vs Nwo. Honestly I thought the evolution faction was lame and boring. Randy and Batista could have succeeded without it.
I think Vince should’ve let Kurt Angle become undisputed Champion over Y2J in this situation because Angle beef with HHH was literally center around Stephanie in 2000 and would’ve made sense for her team up with Angle instead Y2J in my opinion
I hear you.
Kurt/HHH rivalry goes back to 1999 actually.
But for heat they wanted to say Jericho took H out because of their tag match. So him being the one H had to beat made sense too.
@@Speedyreedy1218 Oh I completely forgot about that match yeah I guess the feud should’ve made Stephanie into face and make the rivalry similar to Orton and HHH promo at WM25
@@nickdonalds3990 How could you have forgotten? It was the biggest thing/real thing of wrestling in 2001 outside of Vince buying wcw.
@@Speedyreedy1218 It happened 21 years ago dude
@@nickdonalds3990 22. But it was a big deal. That's like saying you don't remember the KOTR 96 promo with Austin because it was 27 years ago. You may not remember the tournament. But you remember his promo because it was start to a turning point in his career.
He was roided up.
Love your videos but you speak so fast
KWAB

He should've never beat Jericho for the Undisputed Championship.
Well there really was nobody believable left. Stone Cold and Angle basically flip flopped the championship like 3 times during the late summer early fall and it'd be odd to have them dethrone Jericho when they held that same championship like 3 months earlier. Rock basically was Wolrd champion ( although that was the WCW World championship which technically was still a World championship within WWE) by the end of the previous year and would be booked in to face Hogan. Taker was in the middle of a heel turn. Maybe Kane but I don't know reception wise how a Jericho vs Kane WWF championship match at MANIA would go over. So in that way Triple H was the best and believable option outside of someone like Hurricane, Booker T, RVD, Eddie Guerrero( actually I don't think he was in the company and was off TV or released by Rumble 2002) pulling an upset victory at the Rumble and Mania
@@JacksonLane02 I have to correct you(...) The rock was WCW Champion.
@@JacksonLane02 I know man, I was just playing around.
Are you insane? He hadn't been champion in a year and a half and was never pinned when he lost the title King of the Ring 2000. He absolutely was the right person to take it from Jericho.
I didn't care about nWo v Austin and Rock. Partly because I hate Rock and Stone Cold.
And partly because I didn't like the nWo with Hogan. I like Kevin as the real leader.
And they were watered down anyway when they came in the wwe.
2008 run as a is better tbh
Because he actually had a run with the title then.
Even he didn’t had the title he was still entertaining especially going towards 2009 it was gold
bro this run was ASS, they ruined kurt angles post 9/11 babyface run so triple h could be the top babyface, just to turn hunter back heel right after mania 😮💨
That's not true. HHH wasn't even back yet! Austin ruined Kurt Angle's 9/11 babyface run a week after Kurt won.
Kurt got off easy. Austin didn't "Kane" him and take it back 24 hours later.
And Hunter didn't go back heel after WM. He went heel after Vengeance.
@@Speedyreedy1218 yeah they turned angle heel, because they knew they wanted HHH to come back as a baby when he returned in January the next year, and also vengeance is after mania so my comment is not wrong, my point is that they gave up on HHHs babyface run so quickly, so it wasn't even worth it
@@jacoborourke They didn't want HHH to come back as a face. They had no plan up until the day of his return and that was just for him to cut a promo and do a spot. They were playing it by the crowd. The crowd turned him baby instantly and they ran with it.
Vengeance his well into the summer, not Early spring like WM.
@@Speedyreedy1218 bro is worlds biggest triple h fan
@@jacoborourke I'm not a bro.
Nor am I the biggest. I'm one of them though.
So overrated lol. Most overrated top guy in history. This dude really thought he was a baby face in 02.
Hhh was very very lucky
