HHH-HBK Do not draw. - Page 2

lol at the thought of Benoit getting the biggest pop. The problem is that when HHH is in a wrestlemania main even, it has never delivered. Why? The fans NEVER have bought him as someone big enough to be in a mania main event. HHH vs. Foley vs. Show vs. Rock, it was over booked tripe and the fans wanted the belt to go to Rocky. HHH vs. Jericho, I've never seen the fans not care so much in my life.

And NOW? The fans are barely popping when the 3 guys in the MAIN EVENT are in the same ring together, they just don't give a flying fuck. I wish to god they'd give Benoit a good pop, but they don't because he just wasn't built up at all. He won the rumble which was great but instead of using the momentum, they almost made it an afterthought. J.R.'s trying hard to put him over but they won't let him run with hit, and Shawn Michaels interupting Benoit every chance he gets doesn't help. In fact, the only guy who's actually done a decent job in putting Benoit over is HHH...but the fans don't care about him so it's just not going to work.

Whatever, if Benoit wins tonight, I'll be happy with a lukewarm reaction, because after 4+ hours of solid wrestling, that's the most he's going to get. Especially in a shitty 3-way, even if 2 of the best workers in the company are in it.

HBK is a shell of the performer he used to be. And since his persona hasn't changed at all, he feels a little outdated. Even the entrance music is tired.

Not that he sucks. He's still a great performer, but like RockBottom said, he's at the point in his career where he should be elevating other wrestlers to the main event. He needs to lose in order to give credibility to the guys who are going to take his place when he leaves (again).

Put it tihs way..HBK is so well established, that if he wins tonight it really does nothing for his career. Been there done that. But if Benoit wins.....wow. Huge moment and I think the crowd will appreciate that.

BTW...I never understand why people bring up HBK's Christian beliefs whenever someone critiizes Michaels. I've never read, "Well, Goldberg can't sell to save his life, but at least he stays kosher."

Eh, okay maybe not biggest of the night, but much bigger than Michaels anyhow.
