Your absolutely right Scott didn't have to use politics to get to main event status. Triple H is a phenomenal wrestler no doubt, but without the kissing up he did in the late 90s and early 00s he may not be in the level he still is right now. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy's gimick it works but I think that he would be at a Chris Jerico level of greatness instead of a near icon status that he is in right now if it hadn't been for his butt kissing
