Triple H to Ric Flair opponent Comparisons

[ChrisMWaters 0]

OK...we all know that Triple H thinks he's the second coming of Ric Flair.

 

And we've jokingly said that Trips was trying to make Bubba into his version of Dusty Rhodes.

 

For kicks...let's try and figure out who would fit in current WWE as old school Flair opponents.

 

Who would be Triple H's version of Ric Flair's...

 

Sting

Barry Whindham

Harley Race

Dusty Rhodes

Terry Funk

Randy Savage

Roddy Piper

Hulk Hogan

Ricky Steamboat

Lex Luger

 

...I think that's all the major ones.

[Guest JMA]

In a way, Triple H is more Dusty Rhodes than Ric Flair. Think about it.

[Downhome 0]

Hogan = Rocky

[Guest JMA]

Sting=Austin

[Guest Ray]

I think it would be hard to compare, since, you know, Flair PUT ALL OF THOSE MEN OVER, and Triple H NEVER does....

[Downhome 0]

Funk = Foley

 

Steamboat = Benoit

 

Savage = Angle

[HarleyQuinn 0]

Barry Windham = RVD(Can put on solid matches with the right opponents, not great on the mic but passable)

Yep. There's no one on HHH's level (and that is NOT meant as flattery).

Sting=Goldberg

Gooker = Kwang

Also,

Ricky Morton=Bubba Dudley

[Guest ligerbomb03]

Tajiri could play the role of Great Muta

[Guest BionicRedneck]

Barry Windham = RVD(Can put on solid matches with the right opponents, not great on the mic but passable)

 

Wha???

 

Windham fucking ruled.

[Fökai 0]

Sting = Steve Austin.

Harley Race = Mick Foley.

Barry Windham = Shawn Michaels, Part One.

Dusty Rhodes = Booker T.

Terry Funk = Vince McMahon.

Randy Savage = Kurt Angle.

Roddy Piper = Chris Jericho.

Hulk Hogan = The Rock.

Ricky Steamboat = Chris Benoit.

Lex Luger = Kane.

 

And a few additions...

Vader = Undertaker.

Arn Anderson = Shawn Michaels, Part Deux.

Vince McMahon was always a better wrestler than Terry Funk.

 

And Mick Foley is a way better technical wrestler than Harley Race. WAY better.

 

So I don't see how you could draw those comparisons.

 

I'm joking. Please don't hurt me.

Was it HHH's idea to make the Elimation Chamber?

Race vs Flair and Foley vs HHH was the turning point to becoming the top guy.

[Guest Breetai]

Stemboat = Booker, hence their Wrestlemania feud. Of course Booker should have WON, but that's besides the point.

[Slayer 0]

Ric Flair took mid-carders like Sting, Koloff, Windham and Luger and elevated them main event status literally overnight (yeah you could argue Luger was on his way, but to take Flair out of his equation would severely diminish him)

 

Therefore Triple H's equivalents = Ø

I was just joking, I just wanted somebody to stomp on my ass for saying that Vince was better than Terry Funk.

 

That's all.

 

Now on the other hand, Dusty Rhodes is in way better shape and has better tights than Booker T EVER did. So, choke on your words.

No way Booker T during the Harlem Heat days with the Breath Rite Strip was the greatest ring attire EVER!

[Guest Markingout]

 

Dig it!

Well, EXCUUUSE ME, Mr. Umphus!
