He's Broke, Kid.
 

So who finds the "HBK is broke" angle pretty hilarious?

Not this man.

He's dead, Jim.

Paul, I can't feel my legs.

I do.

As long as it's revealed that he secretly spends his money on blow and hookers I'll buy it

I would like it if one of the "friends" he bought a house for was Marty Jannetty.

They should just say he gave all his salary to televangelists. It's probably based in truth.

lol this angle is ridiculous.

Michaels is a lot less lame when he isn't "facing adversity" all the fucking time.

Seconded.

I find any WWE attempt at topicality to be hilarious.

This really makes HHH look like an asshole. Dude is married to the bosses daughter and he wont even help out his Kliq teammate?

And how is HBK poor and still doing those DX commercials. He probably makes more doing those commercials than I have in the past 3 years.

Fuck you HBK. You're not poor.

LOL nitpick a little more?

that would be a good invasion angle, have trips and hbk owe nash and the mem money.

Nash is keeping Hall supplied with liquor, don't pin this on Nash!

Nash knows, he's playing everyone for fools.

Had to revisit this. You do know wrestling's fake, right? I mean, Undertaker is neither a zombie nor a MMA fighter, Kane isn't his brother, nobody is really wished well in their future endeavors, and John Cena and Randy Orton are probably lovers, not enemies.

But if we do want to get anal, medical bills are really crippling, and it's probably more believable that the Has-Been Kid is in debt up to his eyeballs than it is to believe most of the other current storylines.

HBK should say the main reason he came back to wrestling was because we was broke. This could be a nice heel turn for HBK. Literally have him sell out. After a year he could find some money again, develop a massive ego again, lose all his money and be happier "broke" than he ever was rich.

I think this could have worked better with Goldust, but practically no one would care except for a few internet wrestling nerds.

They should do something with Ted Sr. He could bail Michaels out.

I think this gimmick should have been used for Flair...

LOL, that is awesome.

At least King came on last night and mentioned that the DX promos were "filmed earlier", before the angle started.

lol

This angle also makes WWE pay look a bit poor for top tier talent.

Randy Orton is poopy.

Totally. Coked out, injury-prone wrestlers are known for their financial stability.

John: RKO, can I lick your ass?

Randy: Lick my ass, bitch!

Is that Matt Hardy in the Warning V1 tee?

Ok,

I’m going to try to get this back to the topic

Personally I like this angle, it’s relevant so people can relate to it, it’s a paint by numbers angle, but it should be fun, this could of just been thrown together to get a HBK/JBL feud for Mania since Pritchard let the cat out of the bag.

It’s effectively Virgil/Ted all over again, Michaels will help JBL win matches and get his bags etc, eventually he’ll be forced to make a choice between taking out HHH or someone and turn on JBL

It’s simple storytelling in a believable environment, HBK’s promo made it sound plausible that he would be broke, the whole thing is fine from where I’m sitting

It's relevant in the same way the Diva Search and Tuff Enufffff were.

Most people are effected in some way by the credit crunch, weather it be the price of stuff, if they’ve lost their job or if they’ve lost on investments on the markets, so it’s relevant to most people in some way or another.

I know/hope you’re being flippant about the diva search thing

LOL you're kidding, right?

Why was my question ingored? :mad:
