I don't. Mainly because we live in a world where the Bella Twins are going into the HoF and people really believe HHH is one of the greatest of all time in hindsight when his career either setting others up for their moment or a lot of "get off my TV" heat when he was the focus. Some people might actually believe this shit.

He goes from “I can’t do this like I used to/disappointed in the match” to “I must redeem myself” to “that was pretty good/I feel good”, then has another stinker (tag match vs. DX, match vs. Goldberg), and the cycle starts again.

Honestly, it’s a pretty sad thing to watch as a fan, but I think McCool comes off pretty well in the doc; she knows she can’t tell him not to, and that he has to reach his own conclusion. She let the guy leave their family weekend at Mania to fly back from New York to Texas to get his gear to do a 5 minute throwaway segment on Raw the night after.
At this point, Taker isn't much different than Terry Funk. Although I don't mean that insultingly, because that's good company... that isn't exactly a compliment, either.
