WWE Fans Pick Triple H Over Undertaker In “2-21-11” Battle

WWE’s blueprint for the Triple H-Undertaker WrestleMania feud has yet to unfold, but as far as the fans at the live Fresno, California edition of Monday Night RAW are concerned, Triple H is the bigger babyface.

According to multiple correspondent reports, both HHH and Taker received admirable, favorable reactions from the live crowd, but the pop for Triple H’s surprise return far exceeded that of The Undertaker.

The disparity in pop can certainly be explained without resorting to popularity; in addition to the fact that Triple H has been away from television for longer, The Undertaker’s return was effectively “spoiled” by the “2-21-11” campaign. The element of surprise certainly worked in favor of Triple H.

At the same time, the crowd reaction for HHH, which sources say easily eclipsed that for any Superstar on the show, clearly suggests that he has his fanbase. Though there is a vast anti-Triple H sentiment within the online wrestling community, it is consistently shown that the “WWE Universe,” on the whole, still views Triple H as a top star.

  1. It is clear that audience cheared for HHH more because he came after undertaker and undertakers return was expected. Triple H has half the fan following of undertaker.
