Guest cheercomp Report post Posted April 1, 2003 Back a few months ago, Bubba had been built up as someone to stand up against HHH. He spent about a month gaining credibility only to face HHH in a table match and lose. He never got a rematch, although I remember a screwy ending to the match. What was the point of that tv time wasted on Bubba if the outcome was just one throw-away match on RAW never to be mentioned again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slingshot Suplex Report post Posted April 1, 2003 You're going to get a lot of people on here that will tell you they are thankful it was cut short. I liked it for the most part when it began. The promo that Bubba did with HHH right after Bischoff gave him the big gold belt was priceless to me and was a great,great beginning to the feud. But it never really went anywhere. I think they were just throwing some stuff out there to see what got over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 1, 2003 It ended on RAW and was never spoke of again because PEOPLE WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE SHOW when it was the main event. so many people left that HHH grabbed a mic and buried Bubba on the spot saying that they were leaving because he wasn't in HHH's league. He was right this time...and the irony is that the entire audience is leaving because no one is allowed to be in HHH's league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted April 1, 2003 I remember while this feud was going on, portions of the crowd were gradually turning on Bubba. It was killed off because no one cared about it, basically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2003 I liked the feud on TV. It's nice to see guys competing at a higher level than what they're used to (ala Hurricane / Rock). And how is this more than 5 years old? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What was the point of that tv time wasted on Bubba if the outcome was just one throw-away match on RAW never to be mentioned again? because it's Bubba Ray Dudley and he won't ever make it as a singles wrestler and because it's HHH and he would prefer that no one else ever makes it as a singles wrestler, thus making it even harder for Bubba to do anything more than midcard tag matches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted April 1, 2003 With Rock and Hurricane, it's possible that Rock would put him over. You would believe that. But Triple H is never, ever going to put Bubba or any other midcarder over again and it just kills any heat. It's not that Bubba is heatless or not seen as a threat, it's that Triple H is now a heat vaccum do to his political backstage dealings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
