Why was George seeded so low? Because he was held in a lesser regard by people than HHH was.


Nice logical fallacy. George was only given a low rank because most people here can't seem to recall anything prior to 1985.

George is remembered for being flamboyant, HHH is remembered for winning titles & kicking ass.


Yes, he was remembered for winning titles not holding them. His reigns weren't long enough to be meaningful. His character wasn't over enough to be meaningful. His wrestling legacy is overshadowed by his position in the company. George on the other hand will be forever remembered as true wrestling legend that pioneered what it meant to be a bad guy.

No need for sledgehammers here. I do like how you are giving more weight to a rare injury over something that happened hundreds of times. Cry all you want, but someone is going to be in HHH's corner for this one. The person does not even need to become physical to provide enough of a distraction for Hunter to gain the advantage.


Says who, you? Alrightly then, no one will be in Trips corner. Says me. Trips will make a mistake and George will capitalize on it. He made a career beating guys that had more legit wrestling skill than he did in an era where that mattered the most. Push comes to shove he would pick HHH apart.

You are acting like George had Thesz' number. Thesz came out on top plenty, especially when it counted. George may have been a big deal, but lost some of his biggest matches.


No, they were mostly well balanced as rivals. And Thesz was the biggest star of his era. HHH wasn't. There's no real justification to put HHH over just because he happens to be fresh in everyone's minds. And even that seems to be waning since his "executive powers" card and "shovel" card get played more than anything else.

HHH takes this match. With an evil grin, Hunter would dismantle George for trying to play dirty. There are more reasons for HHH to come out on top here. All you can give George is that he was the first cocky & cowardly heel. After his over the top entrance & silly shenanigans at the beginning of the match- its all down hill for Gorgeous. Hunter has the advantage in territory, championship history, ringside manager & brutality.


And what are these reasons, pray tell? It's already been established that George was a bigger star than HHH, was a bigger draw than HHH, had a bigger legacy than HHH, pioneered a gimmick that helped HHH break into the business, and he wasn't hot potatoed a world title a bunch of times. Out of the 14 world title reigns HHH has had maybe 3 of them are actually remembered by the masses. George was revered during all of his.

The only reason that you could justify putting HHH over is because of his executive powers. And that just demonstrates the notion that fans are starting to forget about HHH's legacy as a wrestler. It all about HHH the owner and promoter now.
