Ok, it's his second title reign and he has only had it a month and a half, but he has had it the majority of it's existance.

Well, what was H supposed to do?
1) He has control over the story lines, control that he shouldn't have.

I agree with you on this, he has power that he shouldn't. I can't put that entirely on him, I mean he is to blame for some of it since he does take advantaged of it, but Vince, Steph and whoever else writes the show should have a bigger blame since they allow him to us that power.

2) Who else was a big contender for the World title on Raw when H lost it?
|
Again, they could make people top contenders, I mean Chris Benoit became a contender for the title, and he was gone most of the year, heck, even Edge and Rey made credible oppenents for the World title, why can't Raw make their superstars like that?

Triple H is like how Austin was in 98-2001... either had the belt, or was a top contender for it. It has got to the point where it doesn't make sense for HHH not to be in the title hunt over 95% of the guys in the WWE... and it's not his fault.

Your comparison is fair, but also a little misskwed (whatever). Austin was a big part of the WWF from 98-2001, but there are some facts that I guess are overlooked
1)In 1998, Austin was only Champion for like 5-6 months combined. That leaves something like half of the year where he wasn't champ and pretty much for the end of the year wasn't hunting the gold.
Austin, now and probably forever, will always be a bigger star than Triple H, when Austin was at the top, he was there because he was the most popular wrestler since Hulk Hogan, Triple H IMO has not and will never be in a league of popularity of such stars as Hogan, Rock, Austin, Flair, HBK and Bret Hart. Triple H may be a popular time, but never close.
Also austin was gone for a large portion of 2000 and for some of 1999, so he was never truly overexposed in the industry.
the 2001 well, I don't think he was as bad as the 98-99 since he wasn't built up as some superhuman anymore.
