If HHH is going to put over RVD (dare to dream!) he's getting something in return. No way does he go through this without getting some kind of reward, like another title run.

Lost in all the political mumbo jumbo is this: would the match be any good? I dunno. I have a feeling HHH is going to be soooooo exposed in this one.

Let's see...

 

Van Terminator vs. Pedigree

 

Frog Splash vs. various moves involving the knee

 

I'd say you're right.

Call it an extended squash and you've got the idea, methinks.

If HHH is going to put over RVD (dare to dream!) he's getting something in return.  No way does he go through this without getting some kind of reward, like another title run.

My guess is the following thing happens:

 

HHH lets RVD beat him (not a clean job or at the very least a fluke pin) with the reassurance that RVD will be immeadiately pushed back into the midcard after the match. The issue of RVD owing HHH a return job will be put off so that RVD can get made to look like a bitch by HHH post-match through a post-match beating ala the Shawn Micheals match that will be done to try and cement the appearance that RVD is a loser and can't handle being in the ring with the Game.....

But if he's just squashing RVD to sit on the belt until Vince sics him on Brock (which seems possible), it helps no one.

This scenerio is the most likely one to happen, God help us...

 

HHH knows that Vince is in love with him because of the fact that Steph is in love with Hunter. Reguardless of how well Brock's reign does, you have to know that HHH has most likely already started pillow-talking Steph into letting him be the one who ends Brock's reign as opposed to Angle or RVD and will be the first person I bet to openly suggest aborting Brock's push at the first sign of trouble (like say after Unforgiven if Brock/UT bombs).

 

HHH squashing RVD and holding the belt for ages ala Honky Tonk Man adds to his political strength if Vince decides not to abort Brock's run as champ and will be the death kneel for the IC title as HHH will treat being IC Champ as being a meaningless title and constantly bitching at wanting to be facing Brock for the belt only to be kept from doing it by his ex-Steph...

The only bad thing about that would be giving it to HHH

with crap liek this going on, you start to wonder if austin had the right idea when he got:

 

"the hell outa dodge" (thanks JR)

I'll tell you exactly what the match will look like:

 

RVD gets some early offense...then HHH dominates the next 10 minutes.

 

This was what they did with Benoit vs. RVD...but...unfortunately for all...HHH is no Benoit...and his 10 minutes of RVD beat down will be boring as all hell.

 

So...unlike the RVD/Benoit match...when RVD makes his final comeback...HHH will cut him off and beat him clean.

 

And that...is what you call...and extended squash.
