The feeling backstage right now is that WWE is opting to give more TV time to the guys who are already over rather than waste time trying to get new acts over. They are also trying to connect most of their top guys and storylines to Triple H.

You all know i'm a pretty positive guy, but that just pisses me off.

So there's a new brilliant excuse for the same behaviour that's done them so well in the last decade.

LMAO! That couldn't have been more blatantly "F-U Internet fans" if you'd built a whole two month feud between a main eventer and a totally undeserving jerkoff and then made the jerkoff champion! Oh wait...

Ahh. Explains why I've been seeing a helluvalot more of HHH on RAW. Eugene and HHH. Kane and Michaels and HHH. Two weeks ago, it seemed like HHH was on 80% of the show. Agh. I didn't totally hate the guy before, but I'm really getting tired of seeing him.
so if they are linking all storys to trips did he father litas baby

Apparently, Triple H is also set to win the Cruiserweight title from Rey around Unforgiven. It's gonna be a mask vs. hair match. And Trips an't gonna be cutting his hair anytime soon.

You know i wouldn't usually think this was true, but from what weve seen lately with kane/HHH being involved in multiple storylines, it makes sense. Way to kill the future of the company!

I don't like the way they've been buidling new acts lately. They've been stealing HHH's air time. Especially Mordecai and Kenzo Susuki.

I got a strong feeling Trips is going to win the belt back at Vengeance.

HHH is goign to be Fucking Kenzo Suzuki's mistress within weeks, another new storyline.
You know, this idea to have EVERYTHING revolving around the H's could be great... until he retires and they find they've not got a single person on the entire roster who's over anymore (except Jericho, but we all know he's used to getting shafted) and ratings slide even more.
On the plus side, if Triple H feuding with everyone else means that his run with Shawn Michaels comes to a close, I may be all for it.
On another plus, I can exclusively announce that they're about to reveal that Triple H drove the hummer, ignited the camera in Hogans face, played the 'I Quit' soundbite, raised the briefcase, dropped the cinder block on Austin, tripped the lights during Rock/Hogan II, atacked Edge backstage, prevented the devenomising of the king cobra and was responsible for G-TV. I guess we can close the book on every wrestling mystery in history then.
Well, I guess that 'I still remember' note was sent by HHH after Goldust took one of his bottles and bottles of mineral water 2 years ago...

In the interest of fairness...
Is this anything new? The reason they tend to slump is because they've had a history of building around specific people.
With the Rock and Austin Gone (While Rock isn't totally, he's not a regular), and Lesnar leaving, with Angle having back problems, they have found themselves with a large void to fill. Natrurally, they turn to....
...Triple H?
Which doesn't even need to wait until he retires and nobody's over. What happens when his next injury happens, and there's STILL nobody on the roster anyone gives a fuck about?
Or if a movie company DOES take an interest in him?
It almost makes you want to pine for the days of the 80's when EVERYONE was over, or so it at least seemed.
Kane Knight
06-30-2004, 01:05 PM
Almost.
Or at least for the days where they didn't put the burden on only one person.

Smackdown should go back to an 80's style using loads of outrageous 'cartooned up' gimmicks. It's the only thing that can save them now.
Long John Cena the pirate,
Booker Shango the Voodoo Master,
Rey Mysterio the evil clown,
Rikishi the sumo wrestler,
JBL the foreign army leader,
Rene Dupree the mountie
RVD the escaped convict in Orange 'Prison wear'
I hope it happens soon.
Kane Knight

Rey Rey should wear a fishbowl and play mind games.
I'm intrigued by Renee as a mountie. Will he ride Fifi into battle?
Don't forget Charlie Haas the viking and Rockabilly.
Kane Knight
06-30-2004, 01:17 PM
I still think that charlie should do a rap gimmick...
Haas Haas baby...

HB Cade could move to Smackdown aswell. :love:

Victoria as a nurse, Trish as an Air Hostess, Torrie as a secretary. Damn outrageous gimmicks would be cool.

You forgot one thing. Triple H was Mr. America.

LOL @ the Spiderman ref
Doesn't Rene already ride Fifi because he's French? :shifty:

HHH also killed Pepper, was the fake Undertaker and spent all of ECW's money. :shifty:
But yeah, 80's gimmicks would kick ass. As for the comment about Chavo...three words: The Guerrero Bandito. It could work. Wacky antics would indeed ensue.
Also, :y: Spiderman reference. Nice.

If he was I don't think he'd be bragging about Kane fucking him while he was dead. Would he?

Triple H is Kane's father.
Triple H shot JR.
Triple H was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

In a shocking rumour I just heard that Triple H will be entering Big Brother UK about an hour prior to the show ending, but will win by a voting landslide, as the UK public will bow down in awe at his wonderous wonderousness.

Trips hasn't drawn good money in years, so logically it makes no sense for him or Taker for that matter to be headlining.
However this is the WWE, and they wont learn until they start losing money.
Of course with Trips, things will never change until he decides to retire. Triple H will always be on top because he basically runs the company, who is going to argue with him? Its something we have to learn to live with (or just stop watching).

Our only hope, frankly, is that him and Stephanie break up, preferably messily. Suddenly his stock plummets and we get something new. Of course, Hunter is WAY too smart to let that happen lightly. Besides, it's not that I have qualms with him being a top guy, oh no, it's him being billed as the best of the best of the best of the best all the time.
Speaking of losing money, are they making a profit right now or not?
