If It Was You
So I'm just sat here reading through some old threads and some dirt sheets and its obvious what the general attitude toeards Triple H is, and i share that attitude. But recently i was in a book store and i saw the Triple H book, i flicked through it to find that some of it is autobiographical. So I read a few parts in detail, and in the last chapter he speaks about his relationship with Steph. He claims that he has no creative control what so ever, and that he only sits in board meetings now and again to learn things. Now i think i speak for most people here when I say I think this is bullshit.

But it got me thinking, given we pretty much know that Hunter does have input in creative, and pretty much how things go in general, what would you do in his postition?

Your a young, talented wrestler on your way up the ladder. Then eventually you fall in love with your bosses daughter and marry her. Now its obvious that this brings its advantages in the business. But what would you do in this position? Would you use it to put across ideas from the locker room and try to help the general product a little bit? Or would you use it to pretty much secure the top spot in the business for years to come?

I found it pretty tough to come to a conclusion.

Your thoughts?

Oh I don't think anyone here blames Paul for doing what he does. If you have the option to be Number One and you don't take it you're a fool, but just because I would do it doesn't mean it makes other people happy. And we have had talks about if Jericho was in Hunter's shoes would people be quite as upset, and the answer is yes. Jeff Jarrett now more or less has more power then Hunter in his relm, and we are still mad. Hell Bret Hart could be there and it would still get stale. That is where the anger comes from, not that they are terribly people for doing what's best by them, but becuase for the rest of the world it's boring.

It's possible to be the top guy in a promotion without making everyone else on the roster look bad.

If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity for a little career advancement, but I wouldn't use my "power" to bury everyone else. The better the on-screen "competition," the better the TV product, the better the business, the bigger my paycheck is.

What he said.

To want to promote yourself is human; to ruin the business to feed your ego is stupid.

HOLY TOURETTES SYNDROME-RELATED TANGENTIAL RANT BATMAN!

That was fucking retarded.

Triple H isn't a top draw, and if you're annoyedby that turn off the God Damned computer, ignore the ratings, and go back to sucking Trips' dick.

You seem to forget that HHH is the top draw because no one else is given the chance to draw. Case in point is when RVD was crazy over. He could of been a huge draw, if they would of given him the title over Trips. He had some great matches with Christian and Jericho, two more people who could be a huge draw if they were ever given the oppurtunity to be.

Maybe it's just me, but I sure as hell haven't bought PPV's in the last year and a half because HHH is in the main event. I usually buy them for the "lower" draw guys, you know, like the HBK vs Angle match at WM? Or the money in the bank match? Both of which were head over heels better than either of the title matches.

Wow...a long ass Cena music video which most have already seen and commercials would have nothing to do with that now would they?

Triple H isn't a main event draw anymore. Accept that. He should too.

I have to agree with my pi..I mean KK here. HHH has not drawn well since winning the Undisputed Championship from Jericho. He just hasn't been the same since that win. And really...that's the only win where he drew. After that...it was a steady decline down hill. He's become very cautious, very deliberite and very very repetitive.

As for the whole he's using his backstage pull to be in the top spot....now that's the total truth.

But I gotta admit, it is hard to figure out that if the ratings dropped when Cena's video showed up, Cena's video might be part of the problem.

Naw. It's Triple H "leaving."
