Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 Back in 1999, this was going to be the main event for Survivor Series. And as you remember, Austin's injury prevented this from happening so did this triple threat match ever happen (title or no title regardless)? Just wondering.

Guest thrall585 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 Rock had no big impact in the WWF until late 1998. HHH had no big impact in the WWF until late summer 1999. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 But both have been fixtures in at least the I-C title scene since early '97. Also, HHH being in on Bret's screwjob probably counts for something too. That was to thrall, not Choken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 1, 2003 What the hell does that have to do with my statement? I said it's a shame the three biggest names during the BOOM never had a match with each other and this dipshit makes a pointless statement saying Rock wasn't a impact until late 98 and HHH in Summer 99 when the fucking tool didn't even read the statement "The biggest reasons for WWE's success 1998-2001"...INDICATING ALL OF THOSE FUCKING YEARS!

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Bah. Better than those three in a match... The three REAL superpowers faced off at Insurrextion 2000: Triple Threat WWF Championship Match: The Rock (Champion) vs. Triple H vs. Shane McMahon Interestingly...that card also featured Eddy vs. Jericho and Angle vs. Benoit...and E+C vs. Hardys... leading me to the question...was this show any good?

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 The Angle/Benoit match at the 2001 show is much better. It is my favourite of their 2001 series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) The show's alright. Eddy/Jericho got around 20 minutes with some good stuff within, but Benoit/Angle got only 6 while Crash was on commentary talking about himself. There were also several filler matches (Road Dogg/Bradshaw???) that the UK PPVs tend to have. E&C/Hardys was probably the best (and only long) straight up wrestling match they ever had. The ME was run-of-the-mill that promoted the storyline rather than trying to have a good match out of it. HOWEVER, that PPV saw the Kat get stripped and then flash.

Aero 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 They were all in the 6 way HIAC from Armegeddon, correct? Yeah... HHH vs. Austin vs. Rock vs. Angle vs. Undertaker vs. Rikishi Wasn't HHH pushing for the WM X7 main event to be a triple threat between them? It would've made some sense since HHH did actually beat the No. 1 Contender (Austin) at No Way Out. Probably better off that it stayed as just the classic Austin vs. Rock, though.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 1, 2003 I still think HHH and Rock should have that Final One on One Mania Blow off... Rock never got his "job" back...And Vince caters to rock now...So rock could see fit to avenge that job at WMXX... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest thrall585 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Ummm...Yeah those were the three biggest names in that time period...so what the FUCK stupid point are you making... You said Austin, Rock, and HHH were the 3 biggest reasons for the WWF's success from 1998-2001. Except HHH wasn't in 1998 (and wasn't until late summer of 1999) and Rock wasn't until late 1998. And also the New Age Outlaws had more success in 1998 than HHH. So they were a bigger name that year. "So what the FUCK stupid point are you making..." you are very stupid.

Also, HHH being in on Bret's screwjob probably counts for something too. That was to thrall, not Choken. Rock and HHH being in the IC division do not automatically make them the 3 biggest names in 1998 along with Austin (except Rock when he became a main eventer in late 1998). HHH being on the screwjob had no long-term effect on his status in the WWF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But HHH and Rock weren't the biggest reasons for WWE's success in 1998 (except for late 1998 for the Rock), it was Austin and Vince. Sure HHH and Rock helped, but they weren't the biggest reasons.

Guest Random Hero Report post Posted October 1, 2003 Jesus Christ, Choken meant in the boom period, three superstars had the most success- HHH, The Rock and SCSA. What don't you understand? It makes no difference that HHH wasn't main event till '99. His success since then puts him in the top 3 for the period of time 1998 - 2001. He didn't say that those were the top 3 superstars in EACH YEAR of that period. Wake up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papacita 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 I quit reading after the part about the NAO having more success than HHH. Well in early-to-mid-98 they were more over, but that wasn't the point CO was trying to make. Trips was going to end Taker's streak, but the booking changed due to Backstage Politics w/Shawn working aganist HHH That's interesting. I think it was a good thing Taker won that match though. If HHH beat him, that probably would've killed his credibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thrall585 Report post Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) Jesus Christ, Choken meant in the boom period, three superstars had the most success- HHH, The Rock and SCSA. For 2001 in the time period of 1998-2001, only early 2001 can be considered part of the boom period so it is confusing when you try to mean that 1998-2001 is the boom period.
