Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 After watching Raw and seeing the new Evolution shirts, I realized that since their logo is of the Rolls Royce with "Evolution" as the text, they are obviously going in the direction as these guys are richy, snobbish, powerful, etc. And I think their Titantron also proves this. Now, Ric Flair is "The Nature Boy", so he fits this perfect. Orton is a young, "good looking", great body kid...and HHH is just HHH. So I was thinking. Triple H should go back to calling himself "Hunter Hearst Hemsley" instead of Triple H. It sounds more fitting, IMO. Also, I think he should ditch the purple undies and go back to something similar to his older ring attire back years ago. I mean, Triple H sounds bad ass for a name....but he's not that badass anymore. He's not the Ceberal Assassin anymore, he doesn't use the sledgehammer often, he no longer has facial hair (add's the bad assness), the way he dresses now (preppy) as opposed to what he used to dress (shirt and jeans) etc. I mean, every fan obviously knows Triple H means Hunter Hearst Hemsley and he's still referred to as "Hunter" in some skits, but I think that it would be a nice touch if he went back to his "full name."

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Eh, it wouldn't make much of a difference. But I do agree he should ditch the purple tights. Those are downright ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BrokenWings Report post Posted July 15, 2003 I agree with the name change, but disagree along the lines of his ring atire. Those long, black tights with the red on the inside of the thigh? No thanks. He still has to have some areas of 'badassness' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 I'm not saying EXACTLY his tights and boots from his days as the snob....but something different. And I don't really think his purple tights are really bad ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted July 15, 2003 While you have a good point, I dont see HHH doing it. He knows if he goes back to any part of the Blueblood gimmick, it'll kill his character. (as if his ring work isn't doing that already) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BrokenWings Report post Posted July 15, 2003 lol, okay I admit the purple tights aren't very badass. I also think the red one's are horrible on the eyes as well. Stick with black, Hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 The way I look at it is this: Back in 1997-1998 when he was really transforming from snob to degenerate, Triple H is a really cool abbreviation. It fit his character really well. Obviously, when he transformed into "The Game", calling him Hunter Hearst Hemsely would be pretty...well, lame. But like I said, he's not like he used to be. Over the past 6-8 months, he's going back to that Hunter Hearst Hemsely persona...so why not just go back to the name? Little things like that help in the long run, and it's not like it's going to kill his draw value. All they have to do is call him "Triple H, Hunter Hearst Hemsley."

Why not? OK, purple doesn't fit. But other than that, why not? Exactly, it doesn't work. Purple is a gentle, soft color. And iron cross isn't gentle nor soft. That's all I was saying.

Guest Insane Bump Machine Report post Posted July 15, 2003 If he's no longer the Game, Triple H they should also change his entrance. I'd love that, because the Motorhead stuff bores me. And Motorhead doesn't scream 'snob' to me either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry Blossom Viscount 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 JR used to call him Helmsley until like late 2000 I think. It's not like he'd be going from Kane to Issac Yankem DDS. He'd just be adapting a subtle touch to his character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Insane Bump Machine Report post Posted July 15, 2003 They could give him his own Remix of the Evolution theme, to show that he's the leader of the group. I think it's a great wrestling theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Motorhead doesn't scream 'snob' to me either. NO! "The Game" is the best entrance music in WWE in a LONG time. And that is because Lemmy is God. As for the Iron Cross, in the metal/hardcore/punk subcultures, the Iron Cross is looked at as a symbol of power. Yes, it is strongly due to the pre-Nazi German military using it as their symbol, as the German military was very strong (until deciding to fight the Yanks, actually).

Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 A few other things: I didn't even notice, but last night on Raw HHH wore the black. Certainly better then the Red or Purple. Black fits him the best. I liked his attire from Mania 17 with the gold "HHH". I'd like to see something like that if he went with the longer attire. Also, another good reason to have HHH wear longer attire because it would cover up his constant leg injuries...let's face it, HHH will probably eventually have both of his legs wrapped up like crazy before the year is over. He's contantly injuried in that area. Oh, and another thing....The Game would use a sledgehammer or a steel chair as his illegal weapon of choice....not the French flag.
