Two of the best, two of the biggest, two of my all time greats... who you guys going with?
It’s another tough one for me but I’m going with Rock for now... on another day I’ll pick HHH tbh... it’s that hard cos I love both guys & they were just so damn good.
I remember they was meant to face off one more time @ WM32 in 2016 but Rocks schedule messed it up... it would have been a great one but at least they still had some of the biggest & best matches ever... their feud/rivalry was too special.

Trips
His 99-01 heel run was top notch

I prefer the Rock out of the ring. His 1998/1999 stuff is great but that’s about the extent of it. Triple H benefits from having a much bigger catalog of great matches and great storylines. Plus my pure biased opinion based on the fact that he’s my favorite booker ever.

Ooo thats a tough one. My all time favorite heel VS my all time favorite baby face. Can't have one without the other. Some days I swap Y2J out for HHH and Stone Cold for Rocky but generally those are my top two respectively.
Rock has nostalgia for me as he was the wrestling hero I wanted to be like as a kid but HHH played one hell of a menace and I appreciate him more now as an adult. I'm also willing to say that even for all the talent HHH has buried, he's probably still made more stars in the business than The Rock. So I gotta go with the greatest nose in North America baby, the Creator and Destroyer, the King of Kings, The Cerebral Assassin, the Connecticut Blue Blood, the Gravedigger himself HHH. Why? Because he is the Game and he's that damn good.

The Rock gets my vote
He is truly one of the greatest of all time. His mic work is pretty much unparalleled, the way he is able to hold a crowd in the palm of his hand is amazing. Plus, he was far better in the ring than people give him credit for, he was always able to have exciting matches and he was a main event guy that never put his ego in the way of having an exciting match or program.
I also have to say that I am a huge Triple H fan. His rise as a singles star from 99 to 01 was amazing. I also loved him as the leader of DX and to be honest, I have been a fan of like 99 percent of the stuff he has done in his career.
This was the toughest one of these yet for me!

Hunter was always the guy that worked with the guy. He always felt weird as a baby

this one is hard.
but if you told me in 2000 that these 2 would basically be the epitome of what wrestling is for the next 20 years I would not be surprised.
Both amazing athletes, both respect the physicality
But Rock is the meaning of entertainment and Trips is the meaning of the sport of wrestling
you can say both had nepotism but both thrived out of it and made their own mark
However I do think Trips gifted himself quite a bit of success thanks to "pops" (never forget the reign of terror)
We got sick of seeing him winning belts
BUT!!!!! (one more) if you think about it Trips legit antagonised every single MASSIVE babyface in our business (up until Roman even)
Alas The Rock is my pick as he will forever be the one that sells out tickets and was the one to beat him best

Never a big fan of either, I'll give the nod to the Rock but I think HHH was a better in-ring wrestler.

Almost impossible for me to separate because one would be nothing without the other. I really enjoyed both men too. Rock is a top 5 guy for me based on his 97-01 career.
Both sprang up from unremarkable early gimmicks to prominence, then leadership of factions in The Nation & DX.
Their feud with one another in Summer 1998 is really what put BOTH men on the map.
They both had incredibly successful heat drawing heel turns that NOBODY seen coming after being very popular babyfaces - Rock at SSeries 98 and HHH at WM15.
They both had feuds with Mick Foley that cemented them as the top guy when they were champs.
When they were on top & feuding? each one of them was as important as the other to their feud. Nobody carried the other guy.
They both had feuds with Chris Jericho that yielded blistering good matches to prepare him for the top. HHH in 2000 & Rock in 2001.
Rock goes away in 2002 really and HHH becomes the top heel in the company and for another decade has quality matches with HBK, Nash, Cena, Undertaker, Hardy, Flair, Batista, Lesnar, Benoit, Edge, Bryan, Reigns, Rollins etc.
so I gotta give it to HHH based on career distance and versatility
