HHH's Raw Promo

[Exslade ZX 0]

Was I the only one that thought HHH was gonna fall out of the chair?

 

I thought he was gonna do some bit where he fell and the crowd started laughing, ,and he just goes off on them, the way he kept leaning back on it.

If that promo had gone on for another 5 minutes, he'd have gotten around to burying Kurt Angle, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Sylvester Stallone, and the entire city of Los Angeles (alphabetically).

I didn't think it was that great either. If HHH really wants to show up Batista, he should show a video of Batista being D-Von Dudley's "Decon", holding that case, and then play up that Batista was nothing before HHH.

 

I'd enjoy that.

Meh, it was about the same promo he does every time. He's the diamond in the business, Orton/Batista (this time both!) would be nothing without him, Smackdown's a joke, he's the best, blah blah blah.

And that would have made for a better promo. Triple H feeling humilated and pissed off beyond belief. Instead it's HHH promo 3a, he's the Game, he made the business, blah blah blah.

 

It really is rinse, lather and repeat when it comes to his promos now.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

I watched for a couple of minutes. He reminded me of some old man bent over leaning on his cane and complaining about how things are different than when he was young.

The promo demonstrated everything that I said in this post

 

In other words, it blew

[DMann2003 0]

I believe HHH tells a good story, that's his plus...

 

Problem is, as has been stated, it's the same story over and over.

 

He needs a new story to tell.

 

He takes the long blond hair from Flair

 

The handlebar moustache from Harley

 

The physique of Superstar Billy Graham

 

And the obssesive compulsive need to be the champ/focus of the show from Hogan.

[Guest Coffey]

Actually, I'd say that handlebar moustache is more of an homage to Lemmy from Motorhead than to Harley Race. Well, if I were guessing anyway, since Triple H is a big Motorhead fan.

The Terry Shiavo references almost made my jaw drop.

You're kidding, right? I didn't even blink at it.

The promo was no different then any HHH promo over the last three years, besides sitting in a chair for it.

The last promo where he sat on a chair was definitely different, though.

When your a wrestler, and your a heel.. you think your the best.. therefore your going to say your better then everyone else.

 

Batista was part of Evolution, who also claimed to the best, therefore he said Batista could of went over there and won because he was part of Evolution.

 

So How the hell does it bury people? It doesn't bury anyone as far as I'm concerned.. Mind you the promo still sucked ass..

 

And im not even a HHH fan, I cant stand the guy.

He said that Orton is so desperate he's done the suicidal thing by taking on the Undertaker.

 

He crowed over his win over Benoit, the guy he could not beat.

 

He said Batista could easily beat Cena and JBL.

 

He said that Batista is not on his level, and will lose at WM.

 

He sneeringly dismissed four or five wrestlers he's not in a program with. These guys won't be even cutting a promo firing back at him, or running out to give HHH a beatdown.

 

Now, most of this could be remedied if HHH puts over Batista.

 

If he doesn't, or if he does the token win followed by getting his job back, once again HHH has buried half of the guys who could break out and be stars.

Triple H: "You know what I went through to create a future for this business?"

 

You did?

[notJames 0]

Every week I praise the techno-gods for bringing Picture-In-Picture to us mortals so that I don't have to listen to any more of HHH's promos. Seriously, how enthralling can it be to watch Ol' Muttonchops sitting on a chair and delivering his typical marathon spiel? "Me great. Everyone else suck. Grunt grunt grunt." In the time it took him to finish, the Knicks went on a 23-5 run against the Spurs. Sheesh!

 

As for Orton, he got the Lil' Box treatment too. And that "turn" couldn't have been more telegraphed if he wrote "Stop." on Stacy's prone body. Now i'm half-rooting for UT to kill him dead, and I hate UT. Shit, I hope the roof collapses on the both of them at WM21.

 

Don't even get me started on the Tag Champs once again playing second banana and Molly F'N Holly having to job to Gidget. Not a good night to be a wrestling fan. Thank goodness for that Taxi Driver promo, which made most of that show seem worthwhile.

[Guest MikeSC]

That promo made me barren.

You really into SNL now?

C'mon, Mike, I made that joke on page 1.

The joke was buried and I felt it deserved a second airing.

Yeah the problem with most of Triple H's promos, is that it is always the final word on matters. He gets to sit there and insult and put down other champions and workers on the roster, yet you won't catch anyone else with the chance to say smarky, and "witty" things to make HHH look like a fool. Last time someone did that I believe was RVD with the whole "grrrr" stuff, and even that led to nothing in the long run. The worst was the part about Smackdown champs being weak, and the schmucky way he propped up beating Benoit asif the losses to him were somehow insignificant, because hey he finally got that one win.

[Jericholic82 0]

I find it somewhat funny how Trips acts like he "molded" Dave and taught him, treating him like he is a youngster or somethin, when in fact Batista is older than HHH. I guess since Trips is the veteran of the two (12 plus years) it fits, but it sound funny. I alos thought he was going to fall out of the chair.

 

The promo was too long, but it just contued his persona of being an egotistical, noncaring jerkwad. He says hes mad how Batista turned on him, but wont say why he should have gone to SD (remember at first he seemed so excited of two evo members in the me) But he basically implies that he is afraid of Batista, by acting the opposite in an over the top way (overexagrerrated confidence) . Clearly he is scared of dave (in the storyline) and knows he can take his title and possibly seriously hurt him.

 

 

As for burying everyone, he always does that, but its part of his character again (he thinks he is better than everyone) . But if Cena or even JBL showed up on RAW to confront him, hed probably back off.

 

But his promos have basically been the saem for over 5 years so no big whoop

 

 

as for the pulling the plug refernce, it m ay have been in bad taste, but the crowd understood what he meant.

 

 

You know its a slow news week when that is the main current events story.

[Jericholic82 0]

One more thing, Lawler asked JR during the ME if he had ever heard of Batista before he was in Evolution and he said no

How dumb, regardless of his SD run, Batista appeared on RAW by himself for a good few weeks before Flair started mentoring him. and Evolution wasnt formed as such until Jan 03 after the rumble when orton, dave, trips and flair beat up steiner.

OH MY GOD HE'S SUCH A PIMP YOU CAN PIMP ME ANYTIME

What's Triple H supposed to say?...

 

I beat Benoit last week.. but he's better than me?

 

He's burying people as it's his character...

 

I hate Triple H as much as the next person, and I hate his promo's.. I just dont see how it's burying people, when its his character to do so.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

The problem with HHH burying people in promo's is that he does it by telling the truth about the weaknesses of whoever he's talking about. Heels shouldn't be telling the truth as it is, but they especially shouldn't be telling the truth about the various weaknesses of the rest of the roster. When a heel puts down someone, he shouldn't be doing it in a manner that can cause people to say, "You know, he's right about that." He should be saying it in a manner where people respond to it with, "You know, he's talking out of his ass."

EXACTLY.

 

A heel should cut promos full of lies. They should make claims they are clearly not entitled to.

 

Heels should claim that they won a match without cheating... when they cheated from bell to bell. They should accuse the face of doing all the stuff they are guilty of.

 

HHH says nobody can beat him. And he's right.

 

This does not make him a good heel. It just makes the audience depressed.

[humongous2002 0]

HHH has cut the same promo over and over since 2002, he has never been a good promo man to begin with and all he talks about is the fact that he has beaten every WWE superstar and that he's the diamond in this business,blah, blah, blah. He tries so hard to be Flair but he's more like Dusty Rhodes.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

In more ways than one.
