Eclipse 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 Well, I cringed at the fact that now HHH has poisoned SD. After seeing that match with Eddie, I thought to myself, "If Eddie is supposed to be a long term champ, those plans are done." I can feel HHH killing SD, with his infinite title reigns....or maybe the new GM of SD will trade him off? Heres hoping to that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nanks Report post Posted March 23, 2004 He makes a good point. He did drop "his" belt by tapping out totally clean on THE BIGGEST show, more or less, of the decade. When he had plenty of opportunity to have HBK tap out in his stead to avoid "losing heat". No one would have blinked an eyelid had he gone over there, but he tapped out in the centre of the ring in a great match, give the guy something for that.

I'm against the inevitable Batista main event push myself, as well. He makes a good point. He did drop "his" belt by tapping out totally clean on THE BIGGEST show, more or less, of the decade.

So, he gets a free pass for us to not bitch about anything he does for the next year or so like people were doing after his good several months in 2000? If he shows consistency in unselfish behavior, then people will have more faith in him, but for now, it just looks like it was a temporary thing. I won't mind if he even takes the SD title as long as he doesn't bury everyone, hold it for a year, and make Eddy look like absolute shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 Batista has improved a lot recently. Just...you know...saying. And this threads just goes to show defending HHH is pointless. So he dropped the belt cleanly to Benoit...he MUST be looking to make Eddie his bitch. Right? I'll believe it when I see it. 'Till then, it's just more anti-HHH feuled speculation.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted March 23, 2004 Seems to me like Triple H has mellowed in his desire to bury the enitre world since the second Shawn Michaels feud began... mostly because I can't remember what happened before then anymore. Ah the Goldberg feud. Was either guy even on the shows enough to be burried around that time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 If HHH's pedigrees Eddie then Vince will have to deal with the sudden thunderous drop of morale on the Smackdown side. It's really that simple. If he does it, I'm not shocked. Hell, wait till you get that The Undertaker vs HHH for the World Title match. Anything this company does anymore doesn't shock me. If Trips pins him, he pins him. That's the bed the WWE makes then they will have to lie in it. I barely watch Smackdown anymore so if it gets destroyed then what can you do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 If we get a Triple H / Eddie feud then I think that ultimately helps Eddie far more than it does Triple H. Getting a few wins over Trips - even if it's on house shows - further establishes Eddie as THE top guy. I don't think that belt is going anywhere anytime soon nor is Eddie's push. And so what if Triple H EVENTUALLY takes the belt? Eddie can always win it back. There's a PPV in Los Angeles this summer and there's WrestleMania XXI next year ... you think Eddie won't be main eventing with the belt or challenging for the belt at those shows?

So he dropped the belt cleanly to Benoit...he MUST be looking to make Eddie his bitch. Right? I'll believe it when I see it. 'Till then, it's just more anti-HHH feuled speculation. I agree. Some people are too quick to jump on HHH's back. No matter what HHH does, several people always seems to make a big deal out of it. Shortly before WM, some people were bitching that HHH would retain the title, then lose it to Benoit at Backlash. That didn't happen. In fact, the exact opposite of what several people expected happened. HHH tapped out clean. When's the last time that a World title changed hands on a submission, at a WrestleMania no less? When Benoit won the title, some people were bitching that HHH would win the title back at Backlash. That doesn't look like it's going to happen for now. When the Eddie-HHH match was announced on Raw, people were bitching that HHH was going to bury Eddie and win the WWE title that night. That didn't happen. I can somewhat understand why most people don't like HHH. However, I think it's stupid to bitch about stuff that he hasn't even done yet. It seems that no matter which roster HHH ended up on, people would have been bitching. If HHH stayed on Raw, some people would have said things like "fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck, he's going to hold down (insert name here)!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 I think an Eddie/HHH feud from now until Summerslam would be great if booked correctly...I just don't know that I have the confidence for them to do that...and I _really_ don't want SD turning into the Hunter/Steph show again.

Guest Brian Report post Posted March 23, 2004 Hey, I was one of the few optimistic souls when it came to the three-way. But Trips has a proven track record. And he just let Benoiut go over squeeky clean. That's alot for him. Though I am hoping that Guerrero wins and HHH can go film some movie in the meantime.

Eclipse 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 Eddie/HHH...if that feud does happen, should be awesome. Of course, others agree, that it will benefit Eddie more than HHH. I just don't want the damn show to revolve around HHH. HHH going to SD reminds me...for some odd reason, about that Stone Cold/Eddie feud that was going on, before Austin walked out.

Guest Nanks Report post Posted March 24, 2004 An Eddie-HHH feud really could be good but to say that Eddie taking a Pedigree will drop morale in the SD! locker room is so stupid. You're suggesting they have any kind of feud without one of the wrestlers getting his finisher off??? Yes, Hunter will have to come out on top of some confrontations, one of them might be a transitional belt change to get Eddie the big pop winning it back on PPV.

Guest Nanks Report post Posted March 24, 2004 Right, now this is purely a question, as I honestly can't remember.

Guest Nanks Report post Posted March 24, 2004 I refuse to complain about Hogan having the belt taken off him.
