Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Im sorry if im covering old ground here but i want your opinions on something. Triple H was both the IC champ and one half of the Tag champs on that PPV weekend.. Now, Trips is a guy who is notorious for not jobbing to anyone, so does it strike anyone as odd that he lost those two titles in two consecutive nights conveniently right before he left through that quad injury? Plus it freed up Steph to head up ECW in the inVasion, which saw HHH conveniently return once the invasion ended and all belts were unified. Plus it made Triple H look like a martyr to the business by continuing the match while injured. Would i be going to far in saying that HHH might have been asked to take that time off to free up steph and in return get a monster push by winning the Rumble and then Mania when he came back? I know it seems silly and I may just be stabbing in the dark.. but there are too many coincidences here and it all seems a bit odd to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest candie45 Report post Posted April 1, 2003 No. They did show him in surgery afterall. Do you think HHH would actually want to be away from the spotlight for 8 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoSelfWorth Report post Posted April 1, 2003 The quad tear was 100% legit, and not an angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 I never said it wasnt legit, i just said it was surrounded by alot of coincidence.. especially dropping the IC belt on the sunday, then the tag on the Monday.. then gets injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted April 1, 2003 I was always intrested about how/why he went up the ramp instead of just walking on the flat ground to get to the back. Someone told me it was quicker to go that way....but I've got a feeling it was HHH just trying to be manly man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted April 1, 2003 If I rmember correctly he was going to start a huge face push to meet Austin at Summerslam before he got injured so they were probably getting ready for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Vicious Fish, I can live with that explanation as it is a perfectly valid scenario. I sometimes just cant stop trying to find an ulterior motive for everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 1, 2003 His quad injury shouldn't have gotten that much attention - but since he, you know... he gets it. And since he, you know... no one else does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest snuffbox Report post Posted April 1, 2003 JR, do you think his quad might have actually been shot at from the grassy knoll? 'HHH's quad...back and to the left...back and to the left' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Without a doubt snuffbox, there is definately skullduggery afoot here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted April 1, 2003 It's Benoit fault. Who was in the match where HHH got injured? Benoit. Who was in the match where Nash got injured? Benoit. Chris Benoit: The Canadian Kliq Crippler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted April 1, 2003 JR, do you think his quad might have actually been shot at from the grassy knoll? 'HHH's quad...back and to the left...back and to the left' LOL. If HHH ever got his hands on that post we'd have a 20 minute promo about that. HHH: Booker-uh being one of those-uh people had a hit put out on me-uh. That's-uh why I beat his ass-uh at Wrestlemania-uh. If I hadn't been-uh in such great shape-uh, my career would be over-uh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted April 1, 2003 and plus alot of that HHH footage of him in surgery and recovery showed HHH out of shape alot so you know they wouldn't want to show that unless it was a legit injury. Like most serious injuries they get out of shape and spend half the time away trying to get back in shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 What? it showed HHH being out of shape? Well if I wasnt convinced before, I certainly am now. So is this surgery still going on then because he doesnt seem in top condition when i see him on TV lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Jim Ross, why don't your posts consist of sending people to OVW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Well nobody seems to get sent there anymore. And those who already are there have nothing to look forward to when they get here.. unless they are a former college football player or a Hoss of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2003 cmoooooooooooooon man...... The injury was legit of course. Joes cause it was HHH's injury doesnt mean it was a conspiracy. However, the attention and publicity he recived eveyr week while in rehab was ridiculous. That shit took 5-10 minute matches away from other competitors with those damn beautiful day videos.

Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Just goes to show how even when he is injured he takes TV time away from more deserving talent. im sure when he dies he will still have 25 mins of weekly TV time reserved for intense footage of his headstone.

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Well nobody seems to get sent there anymore. And those who already are there have nothing to look forward to when they get here.. unless they are a former college football player or a Hoss of course. My old gimmick poster was "Jimm Ross" where I'd send people, places, things, and states of mind to OVW. Once, I accidentally sent myself to OVW. Carrot Top, Vince McMahon, and Chris Benoit were all sent to OVW. Chicago was sent to OVW, as was creativity. Even HWA was sent to OVW. But then OVW was sent to HWA. Then I sent Scott Keith to OVW and got banned. I miss the dictatorship! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Banned? That aint right dammit, this aint ballet... No, I must resit the urge to go on a rampage of tired JR phrases. but its hard i tell you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jim Ross Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Speaking of Scott Keith... wasnt this board once tied in with thesmarks.com? and if so i gather that Scott had a hand in running that board. So tell me, how did it end up here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Lineage in a nutshell: Rantsylvania Delphi Forum Rantsylvania EZBoard The Smarks EZ Board The Smarks Ikonboard At this point, Scott Keith closes The Smarks and lets the board run on its own. Dames runs the board by itself for a while and then starts The Smart Marks. So the site is a spin-off of the baord which was a spin-off of the first site.

Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Ya know what, I believe it WAS fake. And I also believe that Kevin Nash faked his quad injury. He was mocking HHH, setting up their 2003 feud that will culminate at SummerSlam with a face Nash powerbombing heel HHH and pinning him in 8 seconds. Then Nash goes on to face No. 1 contender Razor Ramon at Survivor Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
