Guest EricMM Report post Posted October 16, 2002 I agree that this murder/rape/katie fick angle is bad, but do you think it would have been better if Kane were not the person facing HHH and instead it were, oh I dunno, RVD? I mean think of it. All they had to do was let him keep the title. Then it would make sense to have the two of them wrestling anyways. Further, RVD doesn't have Kane's well documented past to ignore. Wasn't Kane a virgin before Torie? Wasn't Kane locked in a closet, or an insane asylum, or something? Plus, Kane is FAR more shady than RVD is, and fans can almost believe that someone who has been so evil in the past could have killed a girl, raped her dead body, because he's the Big Red Freak. Not so RVD. The fans would not allow HHH to have a case against RVD, because it would seem too ludicrious, and it would seem more like Mindgames than it does now. He'd seem more the heel. Also, the inevitable match up would be UNDENIABLY better, have the more over RVD in the Main Event, and just would work better IMO. Thoughts? It would also allow RVD to develop further as a character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ravenbomb Report post Posted October 16, 2002 but RVD isn't established as a hard worker and a main eventer with the fans, nor has he paid his dues. Plus, he's too risky and needs to work more of the WWF style before working in a main event situation. Plus, Kane is a HOSS!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted October 16, 2002 HHH: Hey Rob, you like to smoke, don't ya..But, we're not talking cigarettes or cigars.. Sad fact is thats actually true.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted October 16, 2002 Kane has a bigger vocabulary than Grrrr, Dude, Later, Whatever And RVD cant punch as good as HHH RVD does not have a big pyro intro like Kane [/sarcasm] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted October 16, 2002 ..say, why does RVD have that pyro that he does? It doesn't exactly add to his entrance or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted October 16, 2002 all the others were taken, i guess. It is a bit weird, i'd like to see a dragon/ying yang made out of lasers or something instead. Oh and if Rob did commit murder, me might not have remembered it cos he was high% see, i could book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted October 17, 2002 RVD doesn't have a job for HHH to collect. Well...someone had to say it. After Sunday...HHH will be at least tied with the entire roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 17, 2002 I'm still sticking by my hope that Kane will win the World Title at No Mercy. If he doesn't win it, then RVD will at the Survivor Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Oh yeah... Kane winning would be GREAT now that they destroyed him in every possible way with this angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, he's too risky and needs to work more of the WWF style before working in a main event situation. Plus, Kane is a HOSS!!! Cough wheeze....Paying Dues... Whats that? RVD been wrestling for how long now? He been in the WWE for what a Year plus now and he doesn't have the WWE cred now? But hell if it was really About paying dues than RVD would be in the title hunt again.... at least holding the title once.... Instead of someone like say...... BROCK LESNAR.

Guest MixxMaster Report post Posted October 17, 2002 Hell yeah, Trivia...He's MORE than "paid his dues", and he continually shows that he deserves to be a Main Eventer. He doesn't need to say much, it's his gimmick. You know, the laid back, self-confident guy... Besides, the whole "WWF/E style" SUCKS and BLOWS(punch kick city, baby!)! It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between the guys. They do similar moves and pacing, it's strictly formulaic now. If WWE was serious about this brand extension, and individual identity of the shows, then different styles should be happening... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted October 17, 2002 There's a part of me that thinks the WWE is waiting on the HHH-RVD rematch, where RVD finally wins the title. To have him win it quick, regardless of how much we smarks want it, isn't as exciting as a long chase of the title. Wrestling's normally more exciting when it's a heel champ getting chased by a face contender. But there's also a part of me that agrees it's HHH in Vince's ear, telling him that RVD as champ will tank the ratings and that it's only HHH keeping them as respectable as they are now.

Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 17, 2002 RVD as World Champion would be alot better than HHH as World Champion. That's why, since I don't think Kane will win the title at No Mercy, that RVD will beat HHH to win the World Title at the Survivor Series. I also don't think a certain superstar as champ helps ratings that much either, so no matter who the champ is, the ratings will still be the same, until Vince realizes that he needs to change up the product.
