Guest HartFan86 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 We can never have another Grand Slam champion. I know all of you are probably thinking when reading this "Thanks buddy, your about 2 weeks late." but I was getting ready for bed and it just hit me. Weird. Anyways, like I always do with my weird observations....figured you guys might want to know.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 HHH was behind this...I'm almost sure of it. Oh well...they can still win the Hardcore title... and who hasn't?
Guest The Czech Republic Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 Triple H did it to hold future generations down.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 HHH was behind this...I'm almost sure of it. Oh well...they can still win the Hardcore title... and who hasn't? well, me...but I'm going to August 26th Raw, so you never know...
Guest Ravenbomb Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 ya know, you'd risk about a million lawsuits, but it'd be VERY interesting to see a fan run in, grab a weapon and just knock a bunch of people out and pin the hardcore champ. Either you'd be the new champ and impress your friends at the office/schoolmates or you'd make them 'break kayfabe'. But then they'd probably make up some excuse like 'fans can't win WWF titles' or something.
Guest phoenixrising Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 If one of the Godfather's ho's was able to get a title reign, then an audience member should too. Heck I remember an NFL player (I think it was Jonathan Ogden but I'm not sure) try to pin the champion when they brawled into the crowd in a match two or so years ago. The only problem would be obtaining such a weapon to beat down the hardcore champion with. Maybe a quick rollup or even better, an unpulled low blow followed by a rollup. Celebrate the win...and then run like hell.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 um... why in the world would the ref count instead of kicking your ass?
Guest DJ Jeff Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 That would be hilarious if a fan actually pinned the Hardcore Champion and won the Hardcore Title. Anyways, back to the topic, the WWE getting rid of the European Title screams HHH's idea all over it. He probably didn't want any more Grand Slam champions, so he figured on getting rid of the European Title. Either that, or maybe the WWE realized that the European Title was pointless.
Guest RickyChosyu Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 um... why in the world would the ref count instead of kicking your ass? Along with about twenty other people, if you're lucky. But I guess in this fantasy world, they would think your run-in was planned or something.
Guest converge241 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 so the grand slam champs we have are HBK, HHH, and Jericho?
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 that must eat away at HHH to have Jericho on that list. Angle is the tag title away. Christian is the world title away. Jeff Hardy is the world title away. Jericho has held every single male title in the WWE...which puts him ahead of everyone. He's even a former cruiser champ in the lineage of the belt they use. TAKE THAT HHH!!!!!!
Guest converge241 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 Christian is the world title away. Jeff Hardy is the world title away. long ways away
Guest Midnight Express83 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 the current crop of grandslam champs: Jericho, Trips, HBK. Kurt Angle, Benoit, Eddy Guerrero, Christian, X-Pac, D'Lo Brown, and Jeff Jarrett are all people who can still win the Grandslam champ, since all but Angle need a world title reign, and Angle just needs a tag team title reign. Can't forget about Jeff Hardy needing the world title to join the fray. Jeff Hardy, Christian, and Jericho are the only which chances of holding every title in the WWE.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 now...this pisses me off... was the RVD/Hardy ladder match a unification match? Or did they just give Hardy a title shot because they got rid of the Euro title? Cause if it's the former than RVD is in the hunt...but my HHH sense tells me otherwise.
Guest jester Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 That would be hilarious if a fan actually pinned the Hardcore Champion and won the Hardcore Title. You know, that would probably get someone crazy over if they actually planned a work like that. You know, it was actually a wrestler, but set up to look like a fan... Of course, then you'd get real fans trying to run in... They've probably thought about it, but didn't do it because they didn't want to encourage idiots in the crowd to run in. Maybe they could could have an arena "staff member" grab the title sometime backstage. That might be safer.
Guest bob_barron Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 HHH did it to hold down Regal. Stupid Triple H
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 ya know, you'd risk about a million lawsuits, but it'd be VERY interesting to see a fan run in, grab a weapon and just knock a bunch of people out and pin the hardcore champ. Either you'd be the new champ and impress your friends at the office/schoolmates or you'd make them 'break kayfabe'. But then they'd probably make up some excuse like 'fans can't win WWF titles' or something. Forget lawsuits. You're ass would be in jail for assault w/ a deadly weapon (or some charge similar to that). Add that to lawsuits, plus an ass-whipping by a ref, security, other wrestler.
Guest oldschoolwrestling Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 um... why in the world would the ref count instead of kicking your ass? Along with about twenty other people, if you're lucky. But I guess in this fantasy world, they would think your run-in was planned or something. If you're going to try and pin the hardcore champion, why not go all the way and bring a friend dressed up like a referee to count the pinfall. That would be gold!
Guest jimmy no nose Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 HHH did it to hold down Regal. Stupid Triple H Technically, Regal could still become a grand slam champ, as could anyone else who'd ever held the European title, so yes, we can still look forward to seeing Grand Slam winners Mideon, Mark Henry, and Shane McMahon.
Guest bob_barron Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 He's just two belts away...and now the tag belts are on RAW. GO REGAL GO!
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 yeah...he's in a better spot than Angle is...since the tag belts aren't on his show.
Guest converge241 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 Ahhh....but has he won.. the Million Dollar Belt? or... the Western States Heritage title?
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 oooh.... too bad Austin was never a Euro champ...he'd have had that shit.
Guest Trivia247 Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 So The only Preliminary title then is the Hardcore title? So every new guy is elligable to win the IC title now? thats interesting.
Guest Mattdotcom Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 "...Eddy Guerrero, X-Pac, D'Lo Brown..." Eddy and D'Lo need a tag title reign, and X-Pac needs the IC title, as well as the world title. Just saying...
Guest Nevermortal Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 I've actually won the Hardcore Title before. I bet you didn't know that.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 i can just roll up tommy dreamer, take his kendo stick, beat up the security guards, and run for my life
Guest DJ Jeff Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 So, Angle, Jeff Hardy, Christian, and anyone else can still become Grand Slam Champion. HHH didn't really think this through, unless nobody else will win the WWE Undisputed Titles, or the titles they need to become Grand Slam Champion.
Guest Quik Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 Wait... Trips and HBK never won the Hardcore belt or Cruiserweight/Light Heavyweight Belts. So technically, the only true Grand Slam winner is Jericho. WHOO!!!!!!
Guest DJ Jeff Posted August 2, 2002 Report Posted August 2, 2002 Hey, that's true. B) Then again, what titles do you need to win to be classified as a Grand Slam Champion?
