HHH vs. Chris Jericho

[iggymcfly 0]

Uh, hello. Are we thinking about the same person here? The Rock didn't lose one match clean between Backlash '99 and Summerslam 2002, least of all to Jericho who he fucking castrated between No Mercy and the Royal Rumble in 2001.

Well it's WWF. You really can't expect a top face to be jobbing cleanly right and left when they haven't had a history of doing so in the past. And even with that, there was never a period where he was made to look invincible. Clean or not, he lost often, and was always vulnerable to an extent, as a face and as a heel. The same really can't be said for HHH, because since his push began, he's almost always been made to look unstoppable, and in 90% of the time, he's made to come out on top.

Back when Rock was losing a match every two months when HHH screwed him over, HHH was losing all sorts of matches. This was back when he'd have "fluke" losses to Chyna, Vince, Brooklyn Brawler, etc. So if the criterion is any loss than HHH was putting over tons of people, and if the criterion is only a clean loss than The Rock put over no one for three years. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

Oh, and how did Rock bury Jericho? Every time he had an interview with Jericho he'd just talk about how Jericho couldn't beat him clean to the point that it got annoying. He pinned Jericho with everything from a rollup to a DDT. He kicked out of Jericho's finisher multiple times, even kicking out of it when done twice in succession. Everything he did basically screamed "Jericho isn't a real champion. His reign is just a gigantic fluke.

1. In 99/00, Rock lost a lot more than a match every two months.

 

2. While I won't sit here and act like HHH lost no matches during this time period, losses to three non-wrestlers over the span of a year is hardly what I'd consider putting tons of people over.

It's very simple why HHH would job to D-Von: he knew that he was no threat to his spot. He knew that D-Von can't cut it as a singles wrestler and that he would never get over with that lame gimmick.

 

He NEVER puts anyone like Jericho or RVD over because they are too entertaining and talented and that threatens him.

Out of all their matches, how many times has HHH put Jericho over?

 

Oh yeah, one time only.
