Timescale for HHH to bury Ric Flairs legacy?

Question

HHH is now 12 time world champion and seeming he is allowed to win and drop the title whenever he wants due to his position in the company I was wondering when he will be 17 times world champion to bury the Ric Flair legacy. Your Thoughts???

My thought is he'll probably be twenty something world champion so it'll take a young wrestler to work his way through WWE non stop for about 30 years to beat that.

Answer 1

I really don't think Triple H is interested in breaking Flair's record for World Titles.  But even if he does, he still can't compare to Flair.  As you point out, Triple H's position in the company makes it easy for him to acquire whatever titles he wants.  Ric Flair went out, wrestled, won World Titles, defended those titles, in dozens of promotions all over the world against the best wrestlers in those promotions.

Even 30 WWE "World" Titles won't make a dent in Flair's legacy.  Triple H only defends titles against a select handful, and the WWE has two so-called "World" titles -- which one is the "real" one?

Triple H can rightfully be called one the WWF/E's greatest, but Ric Flair is arguably the greatest pro wrestler of all-time, and that includes all promotions in all countries in all eras.

Answer 2

im sure that hhh is a good friend of ric flair and wouldnt really want to 'bury' the legacy like that. maybe he will get the 16 and retire. hhh is getting quite old now and cant get the title that many more times.

i can see him getting to 16..... but not more.

Answer 3

put it like this if anyone can the GAME CAN he is the best

Answer 4

give it about 7-8 years. i don't really want him to, because i think that ric flair was much better than triple H is now, when flair was at his best.

e.g. 1990's flair better than 2000's Triple H.

also, i think hunter abuses his position at the top to get so many titles. i would much rather that randy orton or some other deserving superstar pass flairs record than HHH.

Answer 5

IDK if Vince will allow anyone to beat Flair record but HHH is in a good position to be the one to do that.

Answer 6

I like HHH and all, but he does not hold a candle to Flair in terms of overall ability. HHH has never been in a five star match, Flair has...nuff said.

Answer 7

I don't think triple H will beat ric flairs legacy but he will certainly set his on legacy!! :D

Answer 8

he wont get to 16........
