I feel it had more to do with Triple H sucking when wrestling as a face. Remember when he fought Jericho at WM 18? His return pop in MSG was insane because he's highly respected but nobody cared about HHH by WM time in his face run because he's so bland in the ring. He's awesome on the mic but as a heel he needed a hammer to get a pop. As a face all his pops are for his inside jokes and smart mouth but then as soon as any of his matches start the crowd slowly sits down and thinks "oh yeah, this guy is wrestling". All of HHH's greatest matches are because of his opponent(s) - The first chamber, Benoit/HBK at WrestleMania, Austin/Sledgehammer in 3 stages of hell. His greatest match ever is SummerSlam 2002 and thats because it was against Shawn Michaels.
