Triple H on the undercard
For the first time in what seems like forever, The Game has been completely bumped out of the main event picture. A lot of people are happy about this because they simply are sick of Triple H and want him out of the picture, but I am happy for a different reason. It finally gives him a chance to be a wrestler. Triple H did a lot of his best work ring wise on the undercard, and I'm interested to see if he can rekindle that greatness. There's no doubt that The Game is one of the greatest gimmicks of all time, but it needs a little bit of retooling. Now that HHH is out of the spotlight, perhaps he can do that.
Thoughts? Opinions? Critiques? I await with much anticipation. ![]() |

If he actually is going to be working with Sheamus, I don't know how great that will be.

To the Contrary ABT, I think that could be absolutely great. We know he won't JOB to Ginger, but they could work a good strong match. I am happy to see the Game doing something different.

I'd rather him work with somebody like Jack Swagger.

He's actually won two matches on Superstars.

I don't miss 20 minute promos from Triple H...competent but, not very entertaining. His best mic work, in my opinion, was/is as a face.
That being said, I'd definitely enjoy seeing him come back into the main event scene as he is still one of the best things going. Last edited by Swiss Ultimate; 03-01-2010 at 12:13 PM. |

ABT, by this point I am more than aware that you would like Jack Swagger to be in Sheamus' place. It doesn't need to be established in every thread

Ramm, please explain to me why Triple H sucks. I am imploring you to give one valid reason as to why Triple H 'sucks'.

Remember in 99/00 when The Game persona was fresh, people said Triple H was the best worker in the business including on here. I think he can get back to that stage at least a little bit.

I think he's lost a few steps. He still has the ability to put on great matches, and he still is one of the best workers in the business, even at his age and after his injuries.
I don't think he's going to approach being anywhere near his prime in 98-2001 though. I would like to see him reinvent his gimmick again. Also, he has worked undercard fueds a few times before in the past few years. He's been out of the main event before, but his popularity stays at that level and he'll be back up soon. I don't think him being in the undercard for this Wrestlemania means it's going to mark any kind of trend. |

A big knock on him in my opinion was the cheesiness of the latest DX stuff. Now that we're past that for a while (seemingly), I think he could get "back to form" somewhat.

I mean honestly, we all may not like Triple H for whatever our reasons may be, but you can't deny that he's one of the best at what he does. The man goes out, puts on a good match 99.9% of the time, and can carry just about anyone to a decent match. Do I think HHH/Sheamus will be a great match at WM? Not entirely, but HHH will do his damndest to make it as good as he can. Keep in mind that Sheamus will be making his WM debut, and I could seriously see him getting the rub here. I think HHH having to carry Sheamus a bit in that much will prove to be a chore, but those 2 will put on a good showing IMO.

I believe it was after his second return in late 2007 that he did a lot of what is being suggested here.
He was in the best shape he's been in years, and instead of going into the main event he worked the undercard for a few months and put on some great matches. This was when he fueded with Umaga, and had the whole tag team/rivalry with Jeff Hardy. They had a great undercard match at Armageddon of that year. |

I'm not really a huge fan of face Triple H tbh. Preferred him much more as a heel. Loved when he returned at Homecoming and kicked the shit out of Flair after he tagged with him. Good stuff

Yeah, not a big fan of face HHH. We need suit wearing heel Triple Haitch back, burying everything and everybody.

Triple H as a worker isn't terrible, he can have some great matches with the right people. However, here's why I don't like him. - Obviously being the bosses son-in-law has some advantages. The fact that for the last ten years he's not been in any mid-card/low-profile rivalries. He's fueds always get proper care and attention. And until now, he's been in every world title match at Wrestlemania since 18 (except 23, due to injury). - He alwaus uses the same moves. When was the last time he broke out a new move which isn't a Spinebuster, Flying Knee or Suplex? - His gimmick/attire hasn't changed, and to be honest is just kinda 'I'm a bland guy who wants my title back'. - His promos suck. The DX reunion in 2006 was pretty cool but it all got old really fast. He was great until his original injury. When he returned I was excited and everything (back in 2002), but since his reign of terror or whatever people call it I can't stand watching him. Plus the guy talks loadsa shit apparently in interviews claiming that young guys aren't willing to step up etc, which is easy for him since he always gets the good fueds and burying people etc. I'm sure people like Carlito would be more willing to 'step up' if they actually stood a chance of steeling the spotlight, but it'll never happen. Hope this helps. ![]() |

I do find it quite bizarre he's suddenly been thrown out of the main event scene, bit weird to get used to after all this time! I'll be more interested in what he does now as a result though, i'm one of those who prefer him as a heel. Not sure how he could reinvent his gimmick exactly, i'lld just love it if he regained the type of attitude he used to have back in 99/2000 etc. Also get tired of him using the same moveset over and over and over and over and over again, doesn't need a complete change just a few new moves every now and then would help.

It really doesn't matter anymore if the Game loses or not. What I want to see is that how effectively he can make Sheamus look good. In other words, make Sheamus a star at Wrestlemania.

If Triple H went back to using "My time" or a new version of that, I would love him 100000% more
I dont mind Hunter when he isn't always in the title picture (there were brief moments in the last decade when he wasnt ![]() |

When I saw you post about Sheamus, I knew you would bring up how you wish Swagger was getting his push. I scrolled down and it was there, so I had to rag on it on principle

I wasn't even thinking strictly Wrestlemania, honestly. I was just thinking an undercard program. Sheamus would be better for Wrestlemania at this point.
