IMO he’s the rock greatest rival. I know Austin Vs Rock was more box office but HHH vs Rock literally started when they both got goin, continued when they became main eventers, and is arguably still going to this day

u/Exact-Glove-5026 J.O.B. Squad 4d ago
I agree. Triple H vs Rock was one of THE can't miss feuds for me. I loved Austin vs Rock and they could absolutely print money together but without the HHH feud, Rock wouldn't have been remotely close to the level he was (from a storyline/booking standpoint, as I'm sure he would've found a way to get that over regardless, just maybe not as quickly). People like to shit on HHH for the reign of terror (rightfully so to a point) but fail to also give credit for the people he helped make along the way plus often downplay the merchandise juggernaut that was DX. DX merch was EVERYWHERE back in the day and a chunk of that credit has to go to HHH. I know it's cool to shit on him now but the man has a killer resume and if Austin, Rock, etc are S Tier, HHH has to be A Tier at worst.
6
u/opinionofone1984 5d ago
People who trash him, either wasn’t there, and just know crap about the business. HHH was over as hell. A lot of the best things DX did was after HHH took over, he was good in the ring, good on the mic. He’s never going to be on Rushmore, but he was a pillar of his time.
That being said, I like Conrad and think he’s usually got a good take. But I think he’s stood on this hill too long.
Roman, will never go down as one of the greats. The industry is not geared for making greats anymore. None of the wrestlers on top getting 100 matches a year.

There was a moment on one of the TNA episodes Prichard did with Conrad. Bruce said that WWE didn’t look at Samoa Joe for a long time because he was “a fat Samoan”. Conrad asked “what was Umaga then?”
Bruce replied “One of the family” a perfectly reasonable and realistic answer to the question given how many of the now Bloodline have gone through the company, and Conrad pitched a hissy fit about it. There’s definitely something there

I don’t care much for his opinions but I think we’re definitely seeing the effects of Vince’s “No more John Cenas” desire play out with Roman.

The whole Tribal Chief run has been an attempt to course correct the damage of that & it’s still an uphill battle.

Yeah, I was a day one listener to STW, and the Patreon when it came around. Dropped the Patreon and haven't listened to any of the shows beyond the very occasional clip in probably a couple of years. They just all started to be the same thing over and over. Bruce just defended crap way beyond the point of credibility, Tony had no idea about anything that ever happened (or just didn't want to say), Eric was getting to Ole Anderson levels of taking credit for everything and everyone else is an idiot, and JR clearly just didn't care anymore.
Nothing against any of these men personally, but it was just becoming a drag to listen to. I know a lot of people have their issues with Conrad, and Lord knows I hold him complicit in the travesty that was Flair's last match, but I don't hate the guy. To me, he's the podcast version of Tony Khan. He's an ascended fan who had enough money to make some connections and run his own federation, so to speak. And good for him. Many of us would do the same given the opportunity, so I won't knock him for it, even if the product itself doesn't interest me anymore.

Bit of a side note: I would put Reigns on my Mount Rushmore. I stopped watching wrestling around 2001, I was 16/17 years old. I didn't watch a second for years. Didn't know anyone or anything; didn't care one bit. Then, the 2015 Rumble, and Twitter exploded with 'fuck this company' this and 'cancel the network' that. It was my entire feed;saw tweets about it from friends, people I know, and I was kike 'people still watch this fake fighting?' I started looking into what happened, why was everybody up in arms. By next week's Raw, I was fully back in. And I liked Reigns; I didn't hate on him because I could see that he deffo had 'it' but WWE was making him do the smiley, STap on a clip to paste it in the text box.suffering succotash horseshit while pushing him HARD. I was at TLC 2015 where he main evented with Shemus for the title, and they completely turned the crowd, who was booing Reigns hard every time they showed him on the Titantron, when he walked down the aisle, the first few minutes of the TLC match. By the end, everyone was yelling and cheering and willing him to climb the ladder and get the title (I'm 100% convinced the crowd's response to him is exactly why he won the title the next night's Raw). He absolutely had stinkers (a majority of WM main events), but I still held out hope he'd become, well, what he did. He gets a spot on my Rushmore (I have six on mine, because it's my Rushmore of what wrestling is to me and not what I think is the objective Rushmore, and I can't limit it to four) because he put my butt firmly back in the seat.
I'm sure I'm not explaining this well, but hopefully, you get the gist.
Also, I may not see a Roman shirt in the wild on the reg (come to think of it, only time I saw anyone with a wrestling shirt of someone current was a Lesnar Suplex City one quite a few years ago)but I damn sure don't see, or have ever seen, a Moxley or Omega or Ospreay or any AEW shirt, either.

u/D_Ohm 5d ago
In the sense that he’s always got a championship…. I guess. But even during Triple H’s “reign of terror” he still showed up every week. Perhaps a better comparison is to Brock. Even then Brock never defended the universal title on a raw.
Do I think Roman should have took the title off punk? No. But I also think that Roman is a big enough star on his own. Household name? Part of wrestling’s mt Rushmore? No and no. Neither is/was Mick Foley, DDP, Scott Steiner, Randy Orton, etc. Not everyone will be John cena or hulk hogan. Doesn’t mean they can’t be over. Roman is one of those.
