Guest goodhelmet Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 Well, almost everyone agrees that HHH is just a shadow of his former self and is dragging down the match quality of the main event scene. So let's hit the time machine, prior to his injury, and tell us what your favorite Trips match is. My personal favorite is the Cactus Jack streetfight from Rumble 2000. The match was brutal and was the first HHH match that I loved.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 I'll have to agree. Mostly because I don't remember the bulk of Jericho/H at Fully Loaded 2000. And even then, I really didn't think the Street Fight was anything mind blowing.
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 The Streetfight was my MOTY for 2000, while my favourite HHH match was my MOTY for 2001...the two out of three falls match with Austin at No Way Out.
Guest saturnmark4life Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 The cactus feud is the only reason i accepted that trips wasn't a worthless piece of shit, but it was mainly mick. No way out vs Austin was even better, but that was austin. and the iron man match with the rock was the highlight of that feud.
Guest ManKinnd Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 HHH was on a roll in 2000: 2 absolute classics with Foley to start the year, first heel to retain the title at WM in a very good match, Excellent match with Rocky at Backlash, their classic Ironman next month, forget KOR, the infamous Last Man Standing, good 3 way with Angle and Rock, then good matches with Angle, and the next month with Benoit. Sure he finished with a shitty match with Austin as his last singles PPV match, but other than that what a year he had! He truly was great. It's a shame he can't be what he was.
Guest TripleHsmark Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 3 Stages of Hell with Austin was the best heavyweight match in America in 4 years. Last Man Standing with Jericho bordered right at ****3/4 and ***** The Street Fight with Foley was a ***** classic.
Guest the living legend Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 The 2 out of 3 falls with Austin is a bit over rated but its still ***** Jericho and Hunter did that ****3/4 last man standing would have been 5 if jericho went over The iron man match was ****3/4 The Hell in a Cell with Mick Foley was ***** But the absolute best had to be the street fight at Royal Rumble 2000 *****
Guest godthedog Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 i think it's a tie between the tag match on raw & hell in a cell with foley. hell in a cell was technically the better match, but the tag match holds a special place in my heart (no, it's not because he got injured). and what is so great about that 2/3 falls match? i've seen it twice & i still can't identify any greatness.
Guest Austin3164life Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 The street fight with Cactus Jack is his best match, and followed by 3 stages of Hell with Austin.....
Guest muzanisa Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 Street fight with Foley. Although I reckon a lot of guys are going to go with HHH/Warrior.
Guest swan Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 Any match he doesn't do gay ass shit with water and/or water bottle.
Guest TheDames7 Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 I'm going to have to go with 3 stages of Hell barely beating out Rumble 2k. The reason being that with 3 stages of Hell, you had it all....it seemed like Rumble 2k was just a really big hardcore match. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I prefer just pure wrestling, with some stuff thrown in there. Dames - 3 Stages of Posting
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 I have to go with the Iron Man which was my 2000 match of the year, but it is very close with the two Cactus matches.
Guest The Man in Blak Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 For me, it's a close tie between the Last Man Standing Match with Jericho and the Street Fight with Foley.
Guest RetroRob215 Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 I like the HIAC match better than the streetfight because of the emotion going into it.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 I like the HIAC match better than the streetfight because of the emotion going into it. I do too. I also am one of the few who liked Rock/Benoit at Fully Loaded better than HHH/Jericho.
Guest joshicho Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 Iron Man match was the best IMO, even though the ending sucked.
Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 I like SummerSlam 1998, because it was really the match where HHH and the Rock broke out and showed they were the real deal and capable of being big stars in the future. A totally awesome match that to me is better than any Shawn ladder match and better than any TLC match.
Guest Mystery Eskimo Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 yeah, the end of the Iron Man match pushes it just behind the Jericho last man standing match for me.
Guest dreamer420 Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 vs. Mankind (KOTR 97) vs. The Rock (Fully Loaded 98) vs. The Rock (Summerslam 98) vs. Cactus Jack (MSG Raw 97) vs. Cactus Jack (Royal Rumble 00) vs. Cactus Jack (No Way Out 00) vs. Steve Austin (No Way Out 01)
Guest HellSpawn Posted April 1, 2002 Report Posted April 1, 2002 Royal rumble 2000's Street Fight was my MOTY and I also like Fully Loaded's v. Jericho.
Guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 I liked his match with benoit at No Mercey too bad the ending sucked with steph getting involved
Guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 Triple H versus Stone Cold Steve Austin. No Way Out. Three Stages of Hell. Mark mode on (you may want to skip this) TRIPLE H WINS! HE WINS CLEAN! FUCK YOU AUSTIN! FUCK YOU J.R.! FUCK ALL OF YOUR FANS TOO! WHOO! WHOO! WHOO! I think that I am entitled to a moment of immaturity on occassions ;P "It's a shame he can't be what he was. " Who says that he cannot?
Guest Nevermortal Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 Tie between the 2000 Foley/H3 matches.
Guest The Fett Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 His Iron Man Match and Ladder Match with The Rock.
Guest Special K Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 I love the Rumble 2k match too, but I think it's about tied with the Iron Man match. I really didn't think those guys could go 60 minutes, but they did, and spectacularly, due to busting their ass and good booking, though the UT finish sort of ends the match on a sour note.
Guest mastermind Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 Goodhelmet are you related to Triple H? He told you to do this didn't he? *lol* Okay, I'll play along since I'm a Trips mark in disgust with the current version. I pick the 2 out of 3 falls. Although I agree with the poster that it isn't THAT great. I could see some people seeing the match being over-rated. The same with the RR 2K match. At points the match was boring to me although I would pick that as #2. I like the ironman match the best though, but if we are ranking on quality the match loses some for that crappy ending.
Guest imajackoff? Posted April 2, 2002 Report Posted April 2, 2002 I liked the 2000 RAW match with Jericho aside from the Dusty finish and the Iron Man Match w/Rock.
