He was the Roddy Piper/mega heel of the late Attitude Era. Without him as a heel, could The Rock have carried WWF in Austin's absence? I think not because there would have been no hot main event programs. He isn't a white hot headlining baby face, but he is damn sure a white hot main event heel that is just as important as the baby face. I'd also argue the HHH-led DX was more over, a bigger draw, and more significant than the original DX. Also, being the #3 banana behind the 2 biggest stars of all time isn't a bad spot to be. Roddy Piper was always in the shadow of Hogan and Savage popularity wise.
If you want me to say something positive about him he's great for wrestling as a whole as far as what it needs now because Vince McMahon just ain't getting it done he needs to retire. also do you have an implant that just alert you when people are talking about Triple H?
