Agreed. HHH was good. Like he did everything good. Nothing bad, nothing great. Just good at everything. He had charisma, but was no Austin or Rock. He could cut a promo, but was no Austin. He was good in the ring, but wasn't outstanding like HBK. He was, as Cornette said, the guy who works with the guy who draws the money. That isn't a bad thing, but no where outside of WWE's revisionist history would HHH ever be considered in the same tier as Austin or Rock.
The reign of terror was just awful. A guy doing what he did is fine as long as he gets his comeuppance once in a while, but that never happened. For all of Vince's faults, he routinely got his comeuppance. HHH absolutely should've put over Booker T at Wrestlemania.
