From the "Bret Hart goes in on Triple H, calls him overrated and claims he never had a great match" thread:

I also don't like HHH the wrestler. After 5 minutes he’s giving it the whole staggering, open mouth, far away look – routine like he’s just been in a war. To be honest I think that’s all he’s really got in his locker: epic wars. And he goes to it far too quickly and far too often. HHH is overrated by the WWE, they love to get his name in there with the HBKs, Takers, Rocks and Stone Colds as much as they can, and I think it’s good that a real legend like Hart comes along and cries bullshit on all of that. Bret was an amazing wrestler, who went to every length to get fans to believe in what was going on in the ring,HHH on the other hand, is a big posing pretender, who thinks he’s better than he really is and sadly get other people believing it because of that. by Bill P. on Jan 31, 2013 5:53 PM EST 17 recs

and also from the same thread...

Hart is using the word "great" different from the way I would use it. He means “great” like “the best on the card” or “the best this or that I’ve seen in a while” etc. Hart is taking out the splendor and epic-ness of the WWF/E’s production department, and is just looking at the actual art of the matches. To that point, Trips is hardly the legend he is purported to be. But he’s been in some “great” (as in epic, memorable) matches enough that I would consider him a great pro wrestler. By that same metric so is Hogan (there’s damning praise!). Triple H is a “manufactured legend” worthy of some praise but not nearly as much as is heaped on him. I’d say he’s due the same amount of accolades that a guy like JBL or Kevin Nash got. And were he not in a position to position himself in the top position for so long, his career would probably mirror those future HOFers: a couple world title runs to his name, a few spurts at the main event, but not a world beater. He’s placed on the level of HBK, Rock and Austin, but one of those four is not like the other. He’s a manufactured legend. by BIGPALE on Jan 31, 2013 8:48 PM EST 7 recs
