Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted July 1, 2003 I think you just hit the problem there, RRR. I don't see it being able to be done effectively for anyone on the Raw roster right now. HHH really has a death grip on the main event scene right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted July 1, 2003 Oh there is such a wide gap between the haves (HHH) and the have-nots (*everyone else*). The guy has created an environment where there is _no one_ to challenge him. They could give the title to Booker, RVD, Kane, hell whoever, and it would _fail_ simply because HHH has beaten them before and after each of them lost they fell down the card _hard_ . Once Vince sees them fail the title will go straight back to HHH. HHH then get's his buddies jobs and does 3 PPV angles with them (both Nash and HBK got 3 PPVs a piece). Raw's roster is so completely lacking right now (the same is with smackdown) that if _anyone_ gets elevated the fans won't buy it because they've seen it time-and-time again. They won't see someone winning the title on a fluke as "hey this guy is really great!" they'll see it as "this guy just won it on a fluke - it'll be off him next week". Besides, who is even _close_ to even being a long-shot challenger to HHH? The Hurricane??? They blew that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 1, 2003 I just want to point out that RVD got the better of both Orton and Flair... hit every move he knows on HHH including 2 finishers... and he lost to a DDT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JMA Report post Posted July 1, 2003 I think Triple H should do the right thing (for once) and bury Goldberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 1, 2003 Goldberg went from Supposed to main event Bad Blood against HHH to feuding with Rodney Mack. I think that wish has been granted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So by that rationale you might say that we haven't seen the next big drawing card because the current roster has guys that have either had their credibility killed or had their pushes botched so badly the fans won't buy them in a top spot. I am under the firm belief that no one on the current roster will be the one who takes WWE to that next boom period. At best, some of the people on the current roster will help make (ie put over) whoever it is that comes along and grabs the audiences attention and starts to legit draw like a Hogan, Rock, or Austin.
