January in the WWE

Recommended Posts

Guest Anglesault

I was just arguing in the Lesnar thread, when I realized, January 2004 was a REALLY bizarre and fucked up month booking wise.

 

We all know how I feel about the Angle/Eddie storyline, so no need to get into that.

 

However,

 

Chris Benoit, who had been chasing Brock since November, goes through the gamut of Heyman's obstacles and roadblocks in his quest to fight Brock, wins the Rumble from number one after taking out the Big Show in the end...

 

And Runs away to Raw

 

-John Cena and the Big Show started feuding after Survivor Series. They fought each other once or twice and Show costs Cena the number one contendership...

 

And they never interact in January, save for one segment that was not part of the feud but to build Big Show up as a Rumble Challenger.

 

-For like two months, Jamie Noble is built up as a face challenger to Tajri's heel champion, as he was avenging Nidia...

 

When the whole thing ends inconclusively, Tajri loses the belt to Rey for whatever reason, and Noble turns into a heel domestic abuser?

 

What the hell was going on in January?

You could only polish a turd so much.

 

 

Since when though did HBK/HHH feud start TEN YEARS AGO? Since when did any kind of on air relationship start 10 years ago?

 

Stupid raw bookers

Art imitates life.

 

It all worked good in the end though.

Agreed. 2004 for WWE started out like the NY Mets 1969 season. AWFUL but everything worked out later on.

Well, in 97, they revealed on-air that HHH and Shawn had been friends in the Kliq since 95.

Only smarks would care, but still that deosn't mean they've feuded for 10 years. 5 Years is believable since HBK kinda turned on HHH in late 1998. (since then they were on again off again relationship when HBK was on)

Don't you mean November 1998 when HBK turned heel as Commish?

No, because technically HHH threw HBK out of DX on the RAW after WM XIV.

 

I know my shit.

Shawn turned on DX in Nov. 98.

 

And I took Shawn's comment to mean that the seeds for the feud were planted 10 years ago, not that they were feuding for 10 years.

Then explain why HBK saved Chyna (HHH's manager) from The Nation in June 1998? I guess he wasn't mad.

To make HHH and DX think that it was all love, so they'd be more unsuspecting when he turned on them down the line.

 

And besides, it's Chyna. Everybody loves Chyna, right?

I don't count a feud until actually interaction between the two happens. So November 1998 is when the actual feud started between DX/HBK.

Chyna didn't kick him out of DX, so he had no reason to have a beef with her.

Then why did he hate DX when he was commish? Or is this all Vince Russo loopholes I'm missing.

By that logic there was no Monday Night War.

That wasn't a feud. That was real hatred.

Wasn't Chyna off TV for much of that?

A feud is a rivalry, correct? For there to be a rivalry there has to have been an interaction between the 2.

Uh....Damn I barely remember anything from late 1998-most of 1999. I'm lucky to remember when HBK returned.

 

So this proves HBK had a hankering to get in Chyna's pants.

 

 

Mark me proved wrong I guess since HHH was out of action until HBK did his miracle face turn in Jan. 99.

She made her return from surgery the week before Shawn turned actually.

From September of 1998 until Survivor Series everything is really hard to remember.

Thank God I'm not the alone one who thought Sept-Oct. 98 was a total mess. But I remember the major stuff. Midcarders are lost in the shuffle though.
