I would expect most to regard Bret as better.

It's more those who came around in the Attitude Era or later that may regard HHH more highly.

I just don't see any area where HHH was better than Bret. Being a better heel is even arguable, though Bret didn't spend much time as one. But when he did, he knocked it out of the park in '97. Bret's clearly a much better face, clearly a better worker, was at a top level for much longer(HHH may have been pushed for a long time, but for much of that he really wasn't good....the 06-beyond face stuff he was largely horrible), more memorable matches......it's just not close IMO.

HHH = Jay-Z.....dope for a few years in the late 90's-early 00's.....on cruise control since and has largely reallybeen pretty blah and basic for the majority of his career, but gets credit for longevity even though it's not quality longevity. More of a business man/big name than an actual top performer for the last 10 years.
