9 Years Later - The Return
Discuss your thoughts on the "2nd phase" of Triple H's career and memories of the single loudest sustained roar in the history of professional wrestling. Also, you can treat this as a general Triple H Appreciation Thread. I will also be taking bets on how long it takes Juan to merge this thread with my other Triple H thread. |

LOL i'm just kidding, I wanna see how many people quote me and respond before reading this followup post.
Seriously, I watch this on Youtube once a week. The reaction was amazing and we will NEVER hear a reaction like this again. I'm a huge HHH fan, and I remember watching this live. Epic. That reflexive smile at 4:43 was really cool to see, obviously an emotional moment for him. Last edited by Shadrick; 01-07-2011 at 05:36 AM. |

It's not even the first part of the cheer that gets to me.
It's the second part where he emerges from the curtain and stands on the ramp. Chills down my spine. |

It was exciting back in 2002, but over time now I feel it is a slightly overated moment.

The greatest heel since Rowdy Roddy Piper returned to the love and adulation of the entire wrestling world who had missed his truly great and unique craft for 8 months. Finally, the wrestling world had its greatest warrior back! Finally, Triple H had returned to compel the audience with his flawless ability to draw in our emotions. Finally, Paul Levesque was back to being the immortal figure of tenacious greatness and not a mere mortal with a bad leg. God bless Jim Ross for making this moment even more memorable. God bless Triple H for fighting for all of us so we could be blessed to watch him do what he does best. |

HHH certainly got a huge pop but I kinda wonder if they pumped up the volume or put extra mics in the crowd that night.
It seems a bit much compared to similar returns by Austin, Rock or Undertaker. Still awesome. The pop certainly sustains longer than others, but I don't know if the initial pop is as loud as some other things. |

Aye, listening back the stustain is longer, but I still think when the words "JERICHO" appear on the titantron in 1999, holy fuck.

IMO, the second biggest pop in Raw history, with the first being in 2005 when HBK feigned Bret Hart's return in Montreal......
5:43 in still gives me goosebumps.... |

Hogan got a pretty loud sustained roar when he returned on an episode of Smackdown years back. I remember him coming out, getting in the ring as they went to commercial, coming back to the crowd still going insane for a good 5 minutes, going to ANOTHER commercial and then coming back for him to actual begin speaking.
Of course, it being smackdown, the time during the commercials was likely mere seconds but still, there was a segment dedicated to nothing but the crowd going crazy. |

What I loved about this,is that it led to the Hogan v Michaels match, otherwise known as "Oversellous" on youtube. I still watch it now and again for complete shits and giggles. Michaels dig at having to play heel to hogan to promote hogan knows best on RAW the night after was also funny. |

I bet you get a big pop too when that bisexual midget's giant cock stretches your asshole out like its doing yoga. I saw your fed on the internet. Not exactly "traditional" pro wrestling. I do expect big things from Ootin Pootin in 2011 however.

Yeah this was an amazing moment. Think the crowd for Rock/Hogan and Hart/Bulldog was louder, but they also had 30,000 more people.
