And who's fault is that? Jericho in my honest opinion could have been the next Rock, he was getting over BIG TIME as a face, and what happens? He starts a feud with Triple H. It basically put his career back fifty steps and he's never been the same since. He's lost constantly to Triple H, never even looked like a threat in their feuds, was WALKING TRIPLE H'S DOG and was being Stephanie's bitch instead of being a threat to Triple H in their last feud. What I found completely amazing is when Jericho and Triple H faught in a HIAC match, not for a title or anything, and Triple H still won that! I mean come on, how does that help ANYONE?
Then look at RVD. He was getting huge crowd reactions for the longest time. He was main eventing or fighting with the biggest stars up until he feuds with Triple H. Now where is he? In a tag team with Kane fighting on Heat. Had RVD been allowed to actually won the feud with Triple H, then he might be seen as a legitimate threat to guys like Rock, Austin (who RVD beat in a singles match by the way already), etc.
And this one is going further back, but just another example of Triple H making other guys look like weak little ****s... Remember when Test was gonna marry Steph? Then evil Triple H makes the evil plan and marries Steph while she's out cold. Okay, nothing wrong at all there. But THEN, Steph reveals she actually was in on the plan... Alright... But then, Triple H beats the crap outta Test. Again. And again. Triple H stole his fiance, and then beat him on several occasions. That just doesn't make sense.
Notice how Triple H only puts over the people who aren't a threat to take his place? Shawn Michaels got the title off him, but Shawn Michaels is his best friend, and Shawn Michaels poses no threat whatsoever to Triple H's spot. Hogan beat Trips, but that didn't matter at all, Hogan's fifty years old.

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.

The fans go crazy almost anytime a wrestler comes back from a long time off. Did you see the pop for Piper at Wrestlemania? Hogan STILL gets pops BIGGER than Triple H got when he returned, and Hogan gets them like every night. When Angle returns, he will get a huge pop. But in reality, the live crowd reaction doesn't matter THAT much at all. If the ratings don't go up any, then it doesn't matter how loud the crowd cheers, because you aren't drawing anything.
Anyhoo, on a little bit of a different topic, Triple H, the heel, gets face pops... And that's not a good thing. He belittles most of his opponents and then beats the absolute **** outta them to prove that he is better than them. Laughs at them, slaps them around, makes jokes about them, so of course the crowd's gonna cheer for him. At WM, Booker barely got cheered at all because nobody believed he would beat Triple H, and he didn't.
