1. Triple H and The Undertaker didn't drop the ball like Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels did.
2. They didn't quit because they had financial and backstage problems with WWE like Bret Hart.
3. They have been in any type of matches and have sacrificed themselves to entertain the fans.
4. They didn't leave the company to start making movies (like The Rock did) or like Chris Jericho.
5. They were not overrated wrestlers like Hulk Hogan.
6. They know ow to wrestle, not like John Cena who only has 5 moves.
Do you need more reasons?

I agree with u.. Taker and Triple H is the greatest wrestler ever born in WWE. But Austin not drop the ball, he has legal problem with WWE because of his guilty abusing his wife.
Throughtout his personal problem, i think he is also one of the best WWE wrestler of all time level with Triple H and Taker.

No way! Your #2 is quite funny. Triple H never had to fight backstage politics because he was dating and eventually married to the boss's daughter. C'mon wake up. Why do you think he was the champion for so long. The only time he lost it was when he got injured.
I actually think it's very difficult to determine who is really the greatest of all time without being biased. First you have to determine what "great" means.
In terms of titles won:
Flair won the championship 16 times so does that make him the greatest? The next closest is Triple H (I think) with 10 or 11.
In terms of what he did for the sport:
Hogan WAS wrestling for over two decades winning the champioship multiple times and making wrestling what it is today, whether you like it or not. Hogan was the Cena of today. Not a great wrestler, very few moves, however very marketable.
If greatest is determined by star power:
Then of course you have Stone Cold, Rock, HBK, etc.

1) What does drop the ball mean? And if this means "sell out", then there is no way HBK has sold out.
2) The only reason HHH doesn't have financial/backstage problems is because he is ******* the boss's daughter and has a huge voice in backstage politics. And Undertaker gets paid like 500,000/year to work like 10 matches.
3) HHH/Taker have been in as many varities of matches as anyone. HBK and Foley have sacraficed as much as them.
4) If HHH wasn't bound as part of the McMahon family, he would make movies, I'm sure. And Taker is too weird to be in a WWE movie, it would ruin his character, so WWE doesn't let him do that stuff.
5) Yes, Hogan is overrated.
6) I agree, yes, Cena sucks at wrestling.

What are you talking about. Shawn Michaels is WWE okay. He never quit for a stupid reason. And you know what else, Triple H said that if the doctor ever told him to quit he would listen and wouldn't be like Shawn Michaels who never wants to quit. Shawn Michaels is a future legend for one reason only and that's because he is the best ever and no one will ever bet him. Also, what about Ric Flair. He's 58 years old and he still wrestles. You can't beat that. He is a 16 time World Heavyweight Champion and a legend already. So, get your facts straight buddy.

Umm...u gotta have Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels among the top.Their conflicts triggered a sudden increase in viewers in the 90s.Without them Triple H would be nothing although i have to agree Undertaker is definelty among the greatest.If u remember Triple H was almost like a sidekick to Shawn Michaels.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON SOME THINGS, NOT ALL. UNDERTAKER IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS OF ALL TIME, NOT HHH THOUGH. HHH IS A GREAT WRESTLER BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY BETTER WRESTLERS BEFORE HIM. WHY ARE YOU BASHING HBK? HBK IS A LEGEND AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST WRESTLERS TO EVER WRESTLE, PERIOD! BRET HART IS ALSO ONE OF THE GREATEST. AND TO SAY THAT HE QUIT WWE FOR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AND THAT HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH WWE DOES NOT TAKE AWAY HIS WERESTLING SKILLS AND ABILITIES. SO HE IS STILL A GREAT, GREATER THAN HHH TO ME. IF I MADE A LIST OF THE GREATEST WRESTLERS, HHH WOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THE TOP 5, WRESTLING GOES FARTHER BACK THAN 10 YEARS, YOU KNOW. AND DON'T TRY TO SAY THAT I ONLY SAY THAT MY FAV. WRESTLERS ARE THE BEST BECAUSE THAT IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I AM A FAN OF HHH. JUST DO NOT AGREE THAT HE IS THE BEST EVER.

HBK didn't drop the ball...he's had several severe injuries.
Bret Hart didn't quit, he made a decision for his family to take more money at WCW (Oh...he couldn't stand Vince either lol).
Other than that, I think you hit it right on the head. These two are up there with Sammartino, Backlund, and a few others if you're going to have a conversation about best all time in WWE.
Edge is getting mighty close to their status, I think.

I agree with you except number 5 needs to be corrected. Here's what it should say:
5. They were not overrated wrestlers like John Cena.

whoaa they are great ok i cant say they sux but they are not the greatest..... the greatest is the heart break kid shawn michaels....... come on if there wasn't hbk, hunter and undertaker wouldn't begin. Shawn Michaels won to taker many times and he won hunter many times. He was the commisioner, that hunter and taker weren't. Hunter is good because he is married to the daughter of the boss and Hunter take steriods... HBK doesn't.... more reasons??

Stone Cold "dropped the ball"? Does "dropped the ball" mean being the main attraction during the biggest and most profitable time period in WWE history?
