HHH is a good worker. He isn't great; there are numerous guys that have come down the pike during his time that are better than him, and he was never the best worker in the company at any given time, especially when Shawn, Angle, Benoit, Rey and Austin were there.

Has HHH had a match that nobody will forget? I guess some won't forget the HITC match where he sent Mick Foley into retirement (that match legitimized him), and the two Taker matches. But that wasn't because they were technically sound matches. I think the two Taker matches were well choreographed, but it wasn't as if there were moves put together that were just unbelievable. And it's telling for how great everyone says that match was, four matches this year was voted better than that one in the Wrestling Observer Awards (Tanahashi/Suzuki, Okada/Naito, Richards/Elgin, Tanahashi/Okada).

HHH has great matches with guys that are considered great workers (well, minus Batista; that was a great feud). But the issue here is, he's the "B" guy in those matches, not the "A" that's carrying the load. Hell; Bret Hart was carrying Kevin Nash and Scott Hall into four star matches, and the ones he had with Shawn Michaels were considered some of the greatest ever.

HHH is a Hall of Famer (I mean WON, not WWE) not due to his ring work - although it's a plus - but due to the mark he's placed on WWE, and to an extent the sport, for better or worse.
