Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Flair hit RVD with a sledgehammer, only for HHH to wait like a year, pick him up, and Pedigree him for the win. I thought that HHH waited a little bit because he was selling RVD's offense. If HHH had Pedigreed RVD right away, then people would probably be complaining that HHH wasn't selling properly.

Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Flair hit RVD with a sledgehammer, only for HHH to wait like a year, pick him up, and Pedigree him for the win. I thought that HHH waited a little bit because he was selling RVD's offense. If HHH had Pedigreed RVD right away, then people would probably be complaining that HHH wasn't selling properly. Why wouldn't he wait a while? Would you WANT RVD to pop up and then get beat down even worse? He was hit by a damn SLEDGEHAMMER. Yes, it may not have LOOKED that effective, but HHH was selling the offense (as stated above) and RVD was hit with a weapon. HHH didn't have to do much after that. Be glad HHH didn't "wait a year" and then just roll on top of him without spiking him again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 RVD has to be doing this on purpose; he hasn't injured anyone during his tenure in WWE other than HHH. Next time, I hope RVD puts HHH out of action for good! RVD isn't doing anything on purpose. HHH is in very poor physical condition. That's why he gets hurt against RVD. RVD can't pull everything the way all of Criple H's opponents do, and the slightest contact puts HHH on the shelf. That's why it keeps happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Quite frankly, all HHH did was EXPOSE RVD as someone who can't work a steady match. RVD is spot-fu, period. Hunter put RVD over in a tag match, thenlet RVD make fun of one of his signature spots, then beat him (not even cleanly mind you) at the PPV. It was a simple feud, it wasn't a burial. Flair hit RVD with a sledgehammer, only for HHH to wait like a year, pick him up, and Pedigree him for the win. And what about beating RVD when RVD had a biased ref on his side? If you got hit with a sledge it would take you a minute or two to recover. But that's a moot point. In the marks' eyes if Flair hadn't interfered, RVD would be the new champ.

Guest Vyce Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Good. The less Hunter the better But don't forget if Hunter is forced into retirement, Vince will be forced to push.......................... Goldberg. So is Hunter being hurt good, I don't think so! No, I disagree. So what if Vince pushes Golberg? I doubt anyone here - or in WWE management - would believe that it would be anything but a short-term move. Either Goldberg would self-destruct as he's headed towards doing, or more likely they'd just build him up to put over someone else (who knows - maybe Orton). At this point, Goldberg would be a preferable alternative in my opinion. Because I doubt he'd be allowed to have 2948 month title reigns like Hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 18, 2003 I just watched the finish to the match again, and you're right AS. Well, at least HHH used the Pedigree instead of just pinning RVD after the sledgehammer shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted July 18, 2003 Damn, you're right AS. Well, at least HHH used the Pedigree instead of just pinning RVD after the sledgehammer shot. No, AS missed the point that if Flair hadn't interfered in the first place, then RVD would have been champ, so it wasn't even a clean win over RVD. We can debate how long to sell a sledge all the live long damn day but it really comes down to this: Would RVd have won if Flair hadn't come down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 18, 2003 I wasn't necessarily agreeing with AS, I was just saying that what he said about HHH smiling at Flair was true. Hey, I don't remember saying damn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted July 18, 2003 True Heros are able to overcome the obstacles put in their path. RVD was not able to do that, and when you add this to the fact that RVD never got back up on the horse to reclaim what was his, you've got yourself a failure.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 18, 2003 I just watched the finish to the match again, and you're right AS. Well, at least HHH used the Pedigree instead of just pinning RVD after the sledgehammer shot. I'd rather it be sledge, immediate pin. It sells the attack as what did him in rather than the finisher. Would RVd have won if Flair hadn't come down? Maybe. Flair didn't break up a pin, did he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 18, 2003 I'd rather it be sledge, immediate pin. It sells the attack as what did him in rather than the finisher. Couldn't it also be said that HHH using the Pedigree actually makes RVD look like more of a threat? The way that I saw it, HHH felt that RVD was capable of kicking out of the sledgehammer shot, so he used the Pedigree to make sure that RVD wouldn't kick out.

Guest Chris Jericho for World Champion Report post Posted July 18, 2003 -Triple H missed a house show match last weekend and has been taking it easy because of a hematoma on one of his legs. The blood clot is said to be the result of a Five Star Frog Splash by Rob Van Dam in which RVD's elbow struck Hunter's leg upon impact. Hunter was back in action on Raw Monday and should be ready to roll this weekend. pwtorch.com Isn't this like the 3rd time RVD injured HHH? RVD is now my god. He will continue to injure HHH until he is forced to forfeit the title to Jericho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 What this is is karma, folks. This is just the beginning for Hunter. The wheel is coming around, and its not going to be pretty for him. I remember when RVD came in, there were tons of complaints about him stiffing guys... no wonder he throws light-as-air forearm shots.... WWF style ruins some wrestlers.

Guest Nater Report post Posted July 18, 2003 The Return of HHHate. Right now, RVD cant be considered for champ unless he learns to sell through the entirety of a match or the standards for "entertainment" change. Any time you credit for an accidental injury, you look like an idiot. HHH could injure himself at any time, hell.. he injured himself WALKING. He is injury-prone, dont forget that. While I wouldnt say he's the best guy on the Raw roster, he is definately put over like he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest humongous2002 Report post Posted July 18, 2003 True Heros are able to overcome the obstacles put in their path. RVD was not able to do that, and when you add this to the fact that RVD never got back up on the horse to reclaim what was his, you've got yourself a failure. LOL, you are making it sound like is RVD's fault for not being as over as he used to be without acknowledging the fact that Vince, the bookers and politics are the ones that a) Made Rob change his wrestling style, b) make him team up with that anchor Kane,c) haven't done anything interesting with his character and d)even though he is still over with the fans they rather push Kane instead of him. RVD'S has done the 5* frog splash for so many years and this is the first time i hear of him injuring someone with it, i personally think is Cripple H looking for a reason to bury Rob, but what goes around comes around.

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 18, 2003 RVD also injuried Triple H with the frog splash at Survivor Series. Alot worst then this little "charlie horse" in Triple H's leg.

I was, however, referencing to future injuries that are most definetely ahead of Mr. Levesque due to his drug problems. RVD's not just injured HHH as well. I recall Angle becoming rather disgruntled in the past with RVD being so stiff he almost caused serious harm towards him in a match. Serves the idiot right. If he isn't going to be professional and work in a way that compliments the product but also shows consideration for his fellow workers, then he deserves the wrath of Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
