Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 After watching RAW, it seems to me ol' HHH has a busy future for himself. From my view, he has 3 people he has either been trying to take out or go after him. Here are suspects... Eugene- Got his ass whipped and bloodied by HHH last night. Probably going to want revenge. Chris Benoit- Benoit has the World title. HHH wants it. End story. Edge- He's promised to take out Evolution one-by-one. 2 down, 2 to go... So HHH has to face one of these guys at Summerslam. Who will it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook Report post Posted July 13, 2004 Meltzer was talking about a three way for the title with Benoit vs HHH vs Eugene. I hope that's not the case as Eugene is a comedy character that just shouldn't be competing for the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted July 13, 2004 After watching RAW and Vengence I think there is a very simple answer to this. Trips will apologize for what he did to Eugene and the time building up to the main event trips will try to get in Eugene's good graces again. So I am calling a Triple H vs. Chris Benoit rematch for the title with Eugene as the special guest referee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that's not the case as Eugene is a comedy character that just shouldn't be competing for the belt. With all due respect, you're wrong. In the last few weeks they've made Eugene the most interesting character in recent memory. He's more than a comedy character at this point. He DESERVES that spot in the ME ranks if they want him there, hell he's as good in the ring as a vanilla midget... but he HAS a personality. Why shouldn't he be there?

algrim 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 He should face Edge or Jericho after he wins the belt at Summerslam. They should put Benoit in a program with the other Evolution members. You also have to consider that if they turn Edge heel, he'll probably feud with Benoit first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 Judging by the incredibly spotty heat Eugene got last night and the fact that the fans have no idea how to react to him, a ME at SS is questionable. they'd have to work for at least 2 weeks in re-establishing him as a babyface and not so much being on the ropes, and you'd take away from what the focus of a title feud should be (the fucking belt) in the build up for the title match in the 2nd biggest show of the year. Get Eugene out of the Trips/Benoit feud, and keep him in the Evolution feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get Eugene out of the Trips/Benoit feud, and keep him in the Evolution feud. Yeah, they HAD no idea how to react to him. Then HHH turned on him, and now he's playing face again. Plus, Benoit had less heat then Eugene did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 Right, I know it wasn't his fault, and I like Eugene, but the focus of the SUMMERSLAM title match needs to be off of this soap opera shit and put full on the fact that HHH and Benoit need to duke it out 1 on 1 to sees whos the best. Without Michaels in a 3 way, without Evolution or Edge in tag matches, and without Eugene biting his fingernails and swinging chairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 The next EC seriously needs to be SD! people. Plus having the same Raw main event at SS as last year (with interchangables of course) would be kind of stupid, IMO.

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 You gotta feel bad for Kane with the booking he has been given this year. Has he even won a match this year?. You had Kane/Edge ( Edge is fresh on the return, Kane just got his ass handed to him by Taker). Kane loses TWICE to Benoit and moves on to a feud with Hardy that he LOSES. Now he's up against HBK who he took out on Raw, and his chances look slim. HBK could never get the job done with HHH, loses clean in the blowoff, and comes back into a feud with a guy who desperately needs a big win, but the feud is booked on revenge, so you know the finish here. Poor Kane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 I've yet to see Dinsmore's work in OVW (though I certainly would like to) but I fail to believe that a WWE farm-raised wrestler who's known and worked one style his entire life can be considered in the same league as Chris Benoit.

Forgive me for not taking your word for it. Then shut the fuck up, because obviously you have no frame of reference on debating the relative potential merits of Dinsmore and Benoit at this point in their respective careers. Benoit himself has said that he was extremely impressed with Dinsmore's work in OVW, and when their match together was pretty tremendous as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2004 I'd rather you explain to me why you consider Dinsmore to be in the same league as Benoit. State your source and explain why you think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted July 14, 2004 I'd rather you explain to me why you consider Dinsmore to be in the same league as Benoit. State your source and explain why you think so. On the Rockin' Rumble 2000 show on a bootleg DVD was my first experience with Dinsmore, he had a match with Al Snow on that card for the OVW Title that I would give four stars, which is saying A LOT for Dinsmore considering Snow's present condition. What surprised me the most about Dinsmore was how he worked a style that was so different to the top guys in the WWE at the time (I watched this DVD around 2001/2002): His matches were filled with a lot of counters and chain wrestling that I hadn't really been exposed to at that time, it was all done very quickly and crisply, showing he has a lot of athletisicism. Unlike a lot of younger guys Dinsmore will NOT blow up, he can do long matches. Also, there's something that I didn't see between him and Snow, but you can see every week on RAW: an understanding of his character and how to work it into a match to the match's benefit, and not it's detriment. In many ways, he's a throwback to the 80's. So we've covered athletisicism, character, technique, and there's one other thing I like about him: intensity. It's something you get glimpses of in the Euegene chaarcter. One of the things I like about Dean malenko, isn't anything in particular he does in the ring, but the sense that he's been doing this all his life and he wouldn't want to be doing anything else: I get that from Dinsmore, too. Keep in mind these are purely subjective reasons, but all opinions are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GreatOne Report post Posted July 14, 2004 Actually this wouldn't be a new thing of comedy characters being annihilated by HHH becoming the third wheel in a one-on-one match at Summerslam. That said I don't wanna see Eugene as champ for even as much time as the Bret/Yoko/Hogan switch. Not that it's good, just not like it hasn't happened before.
