I know it's not usually the face's job, but exactly how many mid-carders you see talking smack about Triple H week in and week out? Then look at Lesnar, who got two up and coming supserstas gunning for him.

Exactly... on Rawit seems that nobody is really making a change that fans canadapt to. But you can't blame HHH for that, they got older people on the show who have completly defined themselves by now. Booker is the same Booker, Jericho is the same jericho, HBK is the same HBK, Steiner is the same Steiner... hell, HHH himself has evolved more than any of them over the last 6 months! and I'm not saying they can't make a change, look at The Rock...
Is HHH holding them down from making a change in attitude? No, he isn't. Sombody is going to have to start pulling some big stunts to get fans attention, then you get writers attention, then you wind up with a belt.
Right now, looking over the past 3 years... what guy on Raw would it really make sense for HHH to lose to? Nobody, because nobody changed. Rock and Goldberg are the only two who really pose a threat when loking at the past. Maybe even HBK... Why is it that he isn't fighting these guys?
Winning the belt isn't how you fget a push, getting a reaction from the fans is. I will admit, HHH should have lost the belt (w/o cheating from either party) at WM, and regained it at the Next with Flair Cheating for him... THEN go into the Goldberg rivalry.
Hell, I'm upset that Goldberg is even coming back now, because him coming back can be used as a scapegoat for Booker T losing at WM... now I still don't know if it was 100% HHH's fault, or if the writers set it up this way.

And I never did get how Triple H considers himself in the same league as the Rock or an Austin or even a Hogan, Triple H isn't the reason WrestleMania breaks attendance records, Triple H isn't a ratings draw, and probably never was, yet he has this huge ego.

lol, never is such a strong word... I dunno, were the ratings better in the McMahon Helmsley Era, or in the year he was injured?
Also, if he were not a ratings draw, why do you think the fans exploded so much when he came back from his injury? WWE can't make the fans cheer, they were just fans of HHH... His popularity did drop post-injury, but so did the WWE's. Can't blame everything on the man.
