Because HBK changed at some point in his life, apparently when he found religion. He also owns up to every bad thing he's done. Triple H doesn't, and by most accounts hasn't really changed all that much at all over the years.

Nah, Jericho is way more versatile than Triple H and has probably had much more training. Hell, he came from Stu Heart's dungeon. Jericho can wrestle any style, any opponent. He's faster than Triple H, more athletic, and he's never been as injury prone as Triple H either. Hunter's not in his league. Jericho is far more talented. Even as a character Jericho has show more versatility over the years than Triple H. Triple H is Triple H, whether he's a face or a heel. He's the same guy. When Jericho went heel a few years ago in the WWE, he completely changed his character, started wearing suits and using big words to condescend to the audience. He dropped the rock star act completely. Jericho can reinvent himself. Triple H can't. It's either the game or DX guy, the only characters he knows, and they're not even that different from eachother

BurningDoom, am I correct in thinking the Kliq goodbye-in-the-ring moment pushed Triple H back a year on his Intercontinental title push? Seem to remember something about that in Bret's book.
The real reason that moment put him on Vince's shitlist was because he was publicly acknowledging that there was a group of guys behind the scenes running things and getting their own way. You guys are only proving my point. While Hunter would go on to politic his way around the WWF, Nash would go on to the do the same in WCW, along with Hogan
Maybe Hunter still would have made it big without the politics and without banging the boss's daughter, but it might have taken him longer and he probably wouldn't have accomplished quite as much as he has in his career. It is what is. The evidence is everywhere you look, there's a part of Hunter that is a total self centered dbag and always has been, which leaves a taint on his storied career
