The Clique's one year title reign

Recommended Posts

On September 2, 2002 the RAW title will have been around for one solid year. And in that time only 2 men have held it. HHH, and Shawn Michaels.

 

As we know HHH got the belt just for the hell of it, held it for 2 months, loaned it to Shawn for a month, then got it back. And has had it for another 8 months.

 

Every ppv the thinking is "well he has to lose it this time." His opponents are usually more over, or his buddies.

 

And at the next ppv HHH wrestles Goldberg, with dumb stipulations that pretty much says HHH will lose the belt...but he should have lost it before and didn't. Did he just want the belt for a year? I know it hasn't been a full year, since he loaned it to his buddy Shawn (when you knew he'd get it right back)

 

So, the belt's been around a year (in a few days anyway), how could it have been handled better? Who else should have gotten it in that time? And will HHH ever lose the goddamn thing?

I was almost positive RVD was going to get it last year. I know he'll most likely never get the WWE Championship, so this would be the next best thing.

I thought RVD was going to win it...then I thought Booker was going to win it...then I thought his buddy Nash was going to win it.

 

From now on I just assume that HHH always goes over in a title match. It's a safe bet.

Thank god we actually have credible titles again. I hope we never again see the days of Jericho->HHH->Hogan->Taker->Rock->Brock in five months again.

I hope HHH holds the belt forever. I always anticipate the great laughs to be had coming online an hour after RAW to read the same complaints I've heard for nearly a year.

From what I think, HHH has MADE EVERYONE interested in the title matches just so we can FINALLY SEE HIM lose it.

 

So technically anticipating him LOSING the title means he and/or the title is over with the fans. Maybe in the wrong way, but it still is.

I totally agree. When HHH finally does job, it will be a big moment because this has been building for some time.

Wow, the bitter HHHaters never stop whining around here, do they?

How is our "whining" not justified?

 

His title reign has been terrible....terrible ratings, terrible buyrates, terrible matches, terrible storylines, etc....

 

 

He's a stale, boring, injured wrestler who isn't over and doesn't draw yet his reign continues month after month.

 

 

An owner with common sense would remove him from the top spot.

HHH is actually entertaining now and then. At least the crowd is AWAKE for most of his stuff.

Apparently most of the people on here are assuming Triple H has to lose at Unforgiven, due to the stipulations.

 

While I sincerely hope he does, with all the talk of Goldberg's performance being a 'disappointment' and maybe not what the WWE had in mind, would it be entirely out of line to think Goldberg could be gone before the end of the year?

When was this?

I don't see this.

 

He gets an entrance pop and then.....not much else.

HHH's one year reign begins on December 15th, 2003.

 

He LOST the belt to HBK, idiot. Just because he soon won it back didn't mean it didn't happen.

The Clique is HBK & HHH. They are best friends, and he reffered to the reign as the Clique reign in the title.

Why do you all care about buyrates, ratings, etc.? Do you all own WWE stock? More importantly, why do you assume someone else with the belt would do better? Smackdown doesn't seem to be blowing RAW away as far as ratings and buyrates go, yet most people would consider it the better show.

Hey, wow, you can call me a n00b :rolleyes: Want a medal? Learn to use grammar and how to spell and then maybe I'll care.

 

The fact is, they planned to give Kane the belt but he wasn't over enough. They wanted to give Steiner the belt but he sucks. They wanted to give Booker T the belt but he was talking about retiring.

 

While I would like to see the belt on somebody other than the Clique, there wasn't anybody ready.

I don't assume anything. He hasn't done any better than the people he claims aren't "main event material" so why does he get to be god over them?

 

And this thread was "The Clique's" one year title reign last time I looked so it's accurate.

Funny...I remember nothing about WWE saying "we're giving Steiner or Kane or Booker the title"

 

I'm sure Booker was a possible winner in WWe's eyes, but as far as Kane and Steiner....LMFAO.

Well I guess WWE's answer to not having someone credible enough to win the title is to just say "fuck it" and let HHH stay champ until they get off their butts and push someone in a way that will make them look credible?

 

So basically instead of fixing the problem they just let it fester?

I never said I agreed with it, in fact I said I agreed that HHH should lose the belt. I agree that they are just letting the problem grow instead of stopping it.

I'm not trying to say the 9 month long reign from HHH is a good thing, just stating the obvious.

 

Just a defense for any arguments.
