Locker Room Shocked At Finish To RAW

[Guest glennsoe]

Shelton Benjamin's win over Triple H on RAW last night shocked everyone backstage. Nobody expected Benjamin to get the pin. The win appears to have boosted morale and also seems to have gotten Triple H some respect for "doing the right thing" and putting someone new over.

If Triple-H keeps his workrate up and keeps on putting people over, then I will have no beef with him.

[Guest Daddy X]

HHH was awesome last night... proving that he really does have a lot left when he's willing to give it. He made Shelton look like a million bucks and did it better than a lot of other guys on the roster probably would have. I loved the match and was very impressed with HHH's performance and ability to get Benjamin over.

[BifEverchad 0]

I was SHOCKED to say the least. I assumed HHH would pull off his usual make someone look decent in a near falls-fest match like he did with TAKA awhile back, but I didnt think Benjamin would get the W.

 

Well, he did.

Color me impressed.

[Guest Trivia247]

And next week the whole show will be HHH matches Beating the locker room in squash matches using a Sleeperhold.

If HHH could work like that more often and put someone over every now and then I won't mind him so much. And assuming he doesn't stop doing RAWs again and just work ppvs

yea give a token Win to shelton to MAsk the fact He just politicked himself back into ANOTHER Triple threat in order To win the World title together in Benoit's home town.

You guys ARE forgetting the most important thing.

 

It will be a ladder match. Remember? If it went triple threat, it would be a ladder match.

wait until that turns into a Benoit Heel turn bashing his canadian background.

[Guest JMA]

Did anyone else get a Flair/Sting vibe from the Triple H/Benjamin match? Triple H did the Flair flop, a young guy was put over, and Benjamin won with a "Stinger Splash."

 

In any case, putting over a young, talented, and charismatic guy like Shelton Benjamin was the right thing for Triple H to do. I'm not surprised it's improving morale. If Hunter loses at Backlash, we may see the end of HHHate. Of course, that's a big "if."

 

I also found JR's last line very funny: "BUT TONIGHT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMIN!"

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Wait... JMA... are you saying that HHH is trying to be Ric Flair?

[Guest Anglesault]

If Hunter loses at Backlash, we may see the end of HHHate. Of course, that's a big "if."

For me, it will end when he puts over at least one guy for each guy he buried.

[Guest JMA]

Wait... JMA... are you saying that HHH is trying to be Ric Flair?

No, that would be stating the obvious.

 

I believe this was the first time he ever did it in such a blatantly obvious way (besides dressing the same). I'm pretty sure even the casual fans noticed it.

Have you estimated a figure for that?

I only believe reports if they come from PWInsider or WON.

Internet Wrestling Community.

 

It's not a site, but rather a term used for online wrestling fans (mostly smarks).

Yea, I believe THAT source.

 

 

Anyone else remember that 5-star classic Randy Orton vs. Triple H World Title Match from Wrestlemania XX? And Benoit vs. A-Train in the opening match? Oh you don't? why? Cause the IWC is full of shit.

Technically, all online smarks are members of the IWC. By saying the IWC is "full of shit," you're technically insulting yourself. Just saying.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I meant the rumors, but good call. The rumor I said of "Kane winning the World Title at Armageddon" was fake too.

Then the "Benoit is losing at WM", Shawn Michaels is winning at WM, WM Title match will be a ladder match...

 

That's another 3 from just one match possible outcomes.

Exactly. The IWC has been right far more times than it's been wrong.

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

Anyone else remember that 5-star classic Randy Orton vs. Triple H World Title Match from Wrestlemania XX?

The most anyone (i.e. Meltzer, etc.) said about that was that it was a possibility. So what. HHH vs. Hurricane at WM XX could have been possible as well. You and I just don't know.

 

And Benoit vs. A-Train in the opening match?

 

OK, now you're just making shit up. No one of any significant importance predicted that.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

And Benoit vs. A-Train in the opening match?

OK, so it might have been other mid-carders. Before the RRumble match, no one was saying Benoit vs. Any World Champion.

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

No one as in who? Message board mental midgets? Why are you bringing up their idiotic comments and blowing them up to massive proportions to try and prove a point? Yes, I agree that people predicting about the future as if they know what they're talking about are troglodytes. It's not my point though.

 

The only rumors about the future that should be considered with any validity should come from Meltzer. He knows his shit. He knew that Benoit was winning the Rumble and the World Title since early January. It was KELLER, the 'Taker Rulz' moron, who said that Benoit was moved to RAW only so he can give HHH the match he wants and then lose quietly to him. The only gray area at the moment that Meltzer has talked about is the Mania ladder match thing but should it happen at Backlash, then it doesn't exactly discredit him.

Well, no, absolutely wrong.

 

Almost everyone said Benoit v. Lesnar or Benoit V. HHH or HBK in a Raw power pay.
