Dimensions 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Thanks to Pwtorch for the following: -The WWE has given away the main event for WWE Vengeance by releasing the Pay Per View poster for that event. The poster features both Triple H and Dave Batista facing each other below it with the heading "Hell In The Cell" at the top of the poster. This clearly indicates that neither Batista or Triple H will be moving from Raw to Smackdown! and also signals another rematch between the two in June. This should be the third time that the two will meet. -HHH was in good spirits when he learned that his MRI came back and showed that there was no serious damage done to his neck or back and he wouldn't be missing any matches. He was also happy to learn that there was no chronic degeneration in his back which could possibly cause him to shorten his career. -HHH vs Jim Ross drew a 4.4 overrun this week on Raw, which was down from the overrun of 4.8 that Batista had drawn the week previously.

JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 No surprise. I predicted a double DQ or some sort at Backlash, and then the HIAC rematch at Vengeance. I could even see the Hogan match getting the main event slot at Backlash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Is HHH still jealous that Undertaker's HIACs are more memorable than his are? In a bad way for the Bossman one, but still...I can't remember the Jericho & Nash HIACs at all and at least Bossman getting hanged I noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 They are SO dumb to release this before Backlash...like the people who see this poster will want to see what happens at Backlash now...they know it doesn't matter because a rematch is already scheduled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only really memorable one he was in was with Foley, and that was memorable because it was Foley's last match...for about a month. And I actually really liked that match, but not nearly as many people remember it or talk about it as the Street Fight a month earlier and Taker/Brock is better than any of the other HIACs since then. I don't think HBK/Taker & Mankind/Taker need even to be discussed here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Oh, totally. If HitC belongs to anyone, it's 'Taker. No question. I mean, sure, there was the shitty one with Bossman, but the ones with Foley and HBK easily trump anything HHH ever did in a Cell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Who's to say Triple H wont be DEFENDING the title? He may win at Backlash, thanks to Flair, and the rematch clause will be activated by Batista, and a HIAC to keep out Flair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Oh God, HHH winning it back at Backlash only to have Batista challenge him via the rematch clause is so goofy I can't imagine it. The thing is they still can't really have Batista drop the title since Edge will get a shot somewhere along the line and Edge/HHH makes zero sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimm44 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 Just because they've announced a match doesn't mean the feud will continue full-on between the two. It could come down to HHH or Batista winning at Backlash, a mini-feud for both, then #1 contender match to lead to Vengeance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 So we really have to sit through 3 more months of HHH-Batista? I can't take this shit anymore, if this really happens I'll prolly turn off RAW for a good time. I likely will too, and I like Batista. It won't be the first time either. I barely watched RAW at all from when Brock left to Smackdown in 2002 'til Benoit showed up in 2003. In the same time, Smackdown has had some rough spots, but it never pissed me off to the point that I quit watching. Since what I consider to be the real split in September 2002 (when the world title split), Smackdown has had five prominent champions and all but Angle were new to the main event and even he was on the decline by that point spending much of 2002 in terrible feuds with Kane & Edge. Like I've said before, I don't hate HHH, and I really don't. But I am bored of him. It just seems like RAW has been treading water for 3 years, while Smackdown is at least making progress even if the writing isn't that much better. I'm reasonably confident that Judgment Day will be the blowoff to JBL/Cena, unless they transition to someone else via a Triple Threat at their next PPV (GAB?) like they did with Show/Lesnar in 2003.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2005 To recap: The WWE pissed away two years building only one top level heel and now they have no idea WHO should be in a feud with their top level face. Also if Hogan match gets top billing on the RAW ppv, it's just proof the WWE doesn't give a flying damn about Batista's reign. There is no way HHH vs Batista should continue after Backlash, two matches was enough and there should be no need for a gimmick match. Plus the odds of Batista escaping with the win of the feud in a HIAC is slim to none. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was also happy to learn that there was no chronic degeneration in his back which could possibly cause him to shorten his career. Goddamn MRI. Agreed. While I dont wish injury on anyone, I was really hoping that this would force HHH to step aside and heal for a month or so. RAW definitely needs someone new for the faces to drop the World title to.

Guest Ransome Report post Posted April 22, 2005 I honestly think that the Elimnation Chamber will be considered Triple H's match in a few years. As if it isn't already? He's been in all three, and won two. I don't think the announcement of a HIAC match by itself can pop a huge buyrate anymore. They've used the HIAC far too frequently over the last few years and have had a string of lacklustre matches. Time to find a new gimmick match, I say.

Guest Hass of Pain Report post Posted April 22, 2005 These posters mean absolutely nothing. If I recall correctly, The Survivor Series like two year ago was promoted off of posters bearing the image of The Undertaker saying "Return of the Dead Man" or something when WWE knew way in advance that they had changed plans and The Undertaker wouldn't be returning after all. These posters are made way in advance. I don't get The Torch on this one: * This poster obviously needed to be designed, have the photos taken for it, been put together by a graphics firm, sent back to WWE, approved by WWE and then sent to the cable industry, who would approve it and then use it. This process has to take two weeks minimum, and the gears would have had to been in motion since roughly Wrestlemania to produce it. * The same source, The Torch, reports two days ago as breaking newsletter info that people within WWE are leaning towards moving Batista to Smackdown and John Cena to Raw because they don't have a lot of faith in Batista. So now, the Torch is claiming that this poster which has probably been around in some form or another since Batista won the title at Wrestlemania is definitive proof that Batista isn't going to Smackdown, despite the fact their own sources told them that he was two days ago. WWE has fucked up their posters before, and the original plan was to keep Batista on Raw, so I don't think this poster is proof of anything one way or another. If WWE wants to move Batista to Smackdown so badly, they are going to do it regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
