Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted August 17, 2003 No one's going to buy him as a face. If say Jericho or Kane somehow got the belt he'd probably go face then and beat them so he could have a fresher run with the belt or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 17, 2003 I can't see it happening via a heel - no heel has been promoted on or anywhere near a par with HHH for it to work. They could have Orton turn on HHH but no-one would give a shit. They could have Jericho beat on HHH but I guarantee everyone would cheer. So there is no way I think.

{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 I believe, due to fan apathy against HHH for the mostpart, any heel going against HHH will be turned face. They will probably have to have HHH come to the defense of a face in order to get any favorable reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the average mark actually probably doesn't hate Triple H in the same way that the IWC do so that might not necessarily be the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the average mark actually probably doesn't hate Triple H in the same way that the IWC do so that might not necessarily be the case. The fans give him an entrance pop but not much else most of the time. I'd say that turning him face may not be a disaster but he certainly won't get pops on the level that Booker T, RVD, etc. get after months of burial. Hell, heel Jericho probably gets bigger pops than a face Trips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple H only gets a pop for his entrance, the rest of the time the crowd are pretty silent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gary Busey Report post Posted August 17, 2003 One would think that since HHH is molding himself as the next Flair, he would want to remain heel and stick with Evolution for an extended period of time (years?), hoping to make a contemporary Four Horsemen. I would say he would want to remain heel, unless he believes he can get himself over as a face without the Evolution baggage. But then that would go against everything he's said about him forming Evolution to help the young guys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonX 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 I believe, due to fan apathy against HHH for the mostpart, any heel going against HHH will be turned face. They will probably have to have HHH come to the defense of a face in order to get any favorable reaction. 1. By saving a "face", they would almost exclusively go with a Clique member, which no one would care about 2. Chris Hyatte had it pegged when he said that for HHH to turn face successfully, that he would have to go on a monumental losing streak of epic proportions and generally be everyone's bitch. Once you totally reprogram everyone to see HHH as a complete and total fuck-up, only then can you make any money off of him being a dominant face who squashes everyone in sight since he will be seen as the underdog who triumpths over all odds... At the moment, no sort of HHH face turn would work. Not even a cosmic reset brought about by HHH going away and coming back a face would work. Best bet is to send him to SD as a face to feud with Big Show and Brock Lesner and ship Kurt Angle to Raw after having Angle job the belt to Brock. There they can completely and utterly obscure the backlash against Triple H via post show editing and give HHH viable opponents to feud with as well as get Big Show someone else to fucking feud with besides Brock and Kurt.

Bored 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 They're going to turn him face because the WWE thinks we need to have HHH and Steph be faces for when they get married in real life. I'm dreading the on camera reunion...you know its coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 If HHH somehow came to the defense of Linda McMahon, I believe the turn could be successful, being that she is the only face that hasn't had their credibilty destroted. Not that I want more McMahon DRAMUH~. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 If HHH went face again, would that mean he'd do that really gay pose again? You know, the one he does on the ropes, but only mid-ring and usually behind a guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HHH:"Yes-uhhh....Brock Lesnar-uhhh, I'm coming after that title and burying you just like I did to Jericho last year-uhhhh. Except this time-uhhhh, it won't be through the use of a bulldog-uhhh; it'll be through the use of a cat-uhhh!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then that would go against everything he's said about him forming Evolution to help the young guys... I recall it being stated that HHH has entitlement issues going on in terms of his obsession with being a babyface. HHH seems to honestly think that he deserves to be a BIG babyface and make millions on merchandising and have marks cheer his name in blind hero worship and that this is linked to his resentment of the Rock and Austin, both of which started out as monster heels only to turn into monster babyfaces.

EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 He blew that the night after Wrestlemania X7. Bingo. What was the backstage reason for HHH siding with Austin instead of fighting with him over the summer with a hot program that could have been big bucks?

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Because they're fucking morons. My guess is that Austin was supposed to become a superheelisheel by the time the Invasion started and turned on WWF and HHH turns face by default. Instead we got Hugging Austin and these Angle skits which were seriously good comedy but a pretty lousy setup when the turn happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toshiaki Koala 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 The only way I could see HHH being cheered is if he shot himself on air. Or if he told people to boo him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonX 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 He blew that the night after Wrestlemania X7. Of course the cosmic irony is that HHH blew his last, best shot at becoming a monster babyface in order to try and sabatoge Austin's heel run which was a complete and total failure from day one...
