Tho for you to highlight cesaros holes and almost act as tho Nash has none comes as no surprise since you talk nonsense

The only hole in Nash's game was underestimating his drawing power and sticking to arenas. Stadiums wouldn't been more appropriate.

Could Nash put 200,000 in Cowboy's Stadium?

At an indy show in my hometown this weekend, Nash/Hall/X-Pac are charging $65 to take a group photo with them. By comparison, a front row ticket to the actual show (which you'd have to buy separately) is $50.
They are still underselling themselves. |

* It shouldn't have been used for that reason. Triple H was the heel; Sting was the face. The WWE vs. WCW thing doesn't make sense. If you defend what happens without acknowledging what shouldn't have happened, then you're not seeing as big a picture as you think you are, chum. * Triple H is forever strong. He's not losing to JTG on Superstars. * The fans do see Sting on that level -- your own argument works against you. That's why people care so much that the WWE fucked it up. * If your modern 8-year old WWE fan doesn't? You MAKE them. It's fucking storytelling. |

People talk about Cesaro's holes all the time. It doesn't mean he wasn't booked shitty.

Why would you invest an HHH loss for Sting, who at best would work 3-5 more matches in his career that are going to be throwaway matches. On the other hand you can use Sting, who has a name, create a special moment (Sting's Mania debut and the NWO v DX thing), sell the Monday Night Wars show on the Network, and keep HHH strong to eventually mean more when Rollins beats him? It baffles me why people can't see the larger picture. I mean I know the reason. It's HHH, so you people think you have to hate anytime he goes over. It gets tiresome, but it is what it is |

We see the larger picture, were telling you the larger picture is stupid. You have a guy in Sting that could have been put over by HHH to then put over Rollins. Then you have Rollins vs HHH start from Rollins believing he is better than HHH because he could beat Sting and HHH couldn't.
The way it went down was just a waste of Sting, HHH, The NWO, and DX. It did nothing for Rollins as Sting had not been booked properly enough for that match to even matter let alone the fact that he just jobbed to Cena. All in all 2015 has been a pretty bad year as far as booking goes for WWE. |

Also I have no problem with HHH going over when its right for a story but him going over Sting wasn't one of those stories.

Yep people hate HHH's guts thats why they heap endless praise on his show that's why we can't wait till Vince leaves and that's why Squared circle sent the guy a fruit basket pure, unbridled hatred of the IWC.

Remember when people on the board were thinking if and actually liking the idea of Triple H getting the strap going to Mania 30 to be the one to put over Daniel Bryan. Such hatred.

The idea that Bret was signed by WCW only because he was Canadian is absurd. The idea that Bret losing one match in Canada would result in him being any less of a draw in Canada is absurb. The idea that WCW had some grand scheme to open up Canada is absurd. How many events did WCW end up running in Canada? Bret was a MUCH bigger star thanks to what Vince did at Survivor Series, you would think WCW would have used Bret to sell out every city in Canada. They didnt, because WWE was always #1 in Canada. Bret leaving wasn't going to change that. From what I've read over the years, Bret was one of the biggest headaches to deal with because he was such a master of the political game. But he never gets accused of it like guys like Hogan and Nash do. Bret is an egomaniac who thought the country would shut down if he lost a fucking worked fight in his home country. He's delusional. As I said before, Nash did the right thing on his way out and Bret didnt. Nash was asked to put over two top guys multiple times on his way out. He did it, and did it with a smile on his face. Bret was asked to lose ONE match, and refused because he didnt like the guy across the ring from him. What a baby! |

The storyline with Rollins doesnt work if HHH is constantly losing. He just came off a year where he did nothing but count lights - against Bryan and The Shield. At some point he needed to get his heat back if he's going to be setting a bar for Rollins to live up to as champion. The payoff for a HHH v Rollins match would have been a Mania caliber match. The payoff for Sting (had he won) vs Rollins would have been at best a B show like Extreme Rules. |

People love HHH the NXT guy, but hate HHH the in ring WWE performer. Well, that is when he wins. God forbid the guy wins a match.

I wanted HHH to beat Bryan at Mania and have a Evolution main event, but that's just because I couldn't stand Daniel Bryan.

Which brings me to my next question. Defend HHH beating Punk during the summer of punk when there was no reason for H to win.
Well no reason other than the reason you will surely make up. |

How does Sting beating HHH hurt HHH? If your long term goal is HHH vs Rollins, you can still have Rollins go over Sting, who now looks a bit more credible challenging for a world title in 2015 because he beat The Game and then have Rollins work that into his HHH feud, simple jab like "Well I beat Sting, did you?" and you have a plot point there. Instead neither guy gets any kind of rub from Sting because he's evidently a massive jobber and there's nothing to draw from. Filler. HHH is the heel authority figure, he's not going to lose his heat just because he loses his one match a year after going over nearly every week.

If you look at the Mania plans for that year, that was heading into the Taker-HHH Hell in a Cell Match. You need HHH to be strong for that. That was the period where it could be argued The Streak was the biggest thing on the show, bigger than the title. I believe that was also the show with Cena-Rock, so at best Punk was going to be in the #3 hole. So yeah, from a pecking order standpoint, it made perfect sense. The loss didnt hurt Punk in the slightest. |

Second, the storyline with Rollins was HHH is like having Tom Brady as a mentor. You are trying to live up to someone who has achieved everything there is to achieve. If HHH had lost to Sting, and Rollins beat Sting, you are telling a different story. HHH isnt Tom Brady, he's like Phillip Rivers, good, but not great. So, great, Rollins can beat someone who is above average. Thats not nearly as effective as him beating someone who is presented as a true legend. Third, Sting wasnt going to be around. If Sting was scheduled to work 6 months, and go on the road, sure it would make sense. But he was never going to do that. |

No. It was fun to watch but neither of his encounters meant much when compared to HBK v Taker which was built as two men with something to lose and HBK desperate to do the seemingly impossible.
HHH v Taker first encounter was about HHH defending the honor of his fallen man-crush the second was about Taker showing his dominance. Neither had much weight add to that the fact that he has in fact beaten HHH before and going up against a Cena V Rock match well..... |

Lol big buyrate. I guess the Rock wrestling for the first time at Mania in 8 years and closing the show for the first time since WM17 (11years) wasn't the draw there. Jesus.

I also can't see the value in having CM Punk, the hottest act they had that year, losing to a pretty much semi retired Triple H, who shortly went right back on the shelf after winning the match. Completely needless. Punk was clearly the number 2 in the company. What logic is there to have him lose on a B show to a semi retired wrestler? Where does that forward the business on a budding star the company was in desperate need of?
