RedJed Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 That was a fantastic match, the quality storytelling keeps happening with Jericho/Michaels. Even though there was a decisive finish (and kudos for plenty of time given to it all) I still think there is more to this feud.
RedJed Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Finally getting why Afa Jr is with Priceless......second gen stars together. And they are building a faction with apparently all of them and Orton, gotta be where that's going.
MillenniumMan831 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Afa Jr. doesn't fit with the group unless he's not playing the wild savage. Joe Hennig would have worked much better. On paper, it would have. But I have no idea if Hennig has the necessary training and experience to pull it off. Rhodes was established to the WWE audience. DiBiase had some seasoning in Japan. If Afa Jr tanks w/ Priceless, no big deal. Priceless can crush him and send him on his way. But I'd be very patient w/ the son of Mr Fuckin Perfect.
Blade2kxx Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Heh... THE Brian Kendrick is so awesomely awesome that he knocked out my stream.
Repo Man jr Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 THE Brian Kendrick is awesome and the current wwe champion
NyqZoo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 WWE scramble so far: Hardy enters Shelton enters Hardy pins Shelton Kendrick enters Kendrick pins uhh someone, I forgot MVP enters 2 minutes till HHH comes out and pedigrees all of them.
Repo Man jr Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Kendricks been pinned like 9 thousand times
DangerousDamon Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Wait, did JR say Triple H was now officially a THIRTEEN time champion?!
Matt Young Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 How does that make Triple H a 13 time champion?
Quit Calling My Mama Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 They're counting it as a new title reign - now a 13 time world champion.
NyqZoo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Triple H pins MVP with another pedigree at 1 second. The last 5 minutes of the match was HHH pedigreeing guys like he was swatting flies off his world title and could take it back at will.
bob_barron Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 I think JR probably just screwed up. That was a fun match, loved the last few minutes.
RepoMan Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 They're counting it as a new title reign - now a 13 time world champion. But then that means THE Brian Kendrick is a recongized world champ.
Quit Calling My Mama Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 I take it this leaves CM Punk with not much of a chance of retaining, surely they'll want at least 2 of the 3 titles to change or the gimmick serves no real purpose.
NyqZoo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Well if Triple H is a 13 time champ then Kendrick is a former champion, works for me.
bob_barron Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 And Triple H would be a 14-time champion, since he won it twice. Either way, it was a fun match.
Blade2kxx Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 It was fun, but still it felt like 'HHH Buries the Midcard' for 5 minutes.
Mike wanna be Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 I think the champion forfeits the belt as soon as the match starts (hence why anyone who scores the fall is the "current champion").
converge241 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 nice split screen on Punk/HHH about them being nervous after 1 title changed..nice touch of course wrestling booking philosiphy wise that probably means they will both retain.. yep so far so good HHH retains
NyqZoo Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 I predict McCool wins via Peruvian Necktie.
Guest Smues Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 'HHH Buries the Midcard' for 5 minutes. Well now I am glad I resisted the urge to order the webcast.
RedJed Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 It was fun, but still it felt like 'HHH Buries the Midcard' for 5 minutes. Yeah, thats how I thought it came off as, too. Also, Jeff Hardy was apparently booked to be the biggest fucking idiot alive, was actually buried subtly in this match quite a bit at the finish. When HHH got the pedigree on MVP and was pinning him with just 3-4 seconds left, all Hardy had to do was break up that pinfall attempt, but instead with one second left (with the fans counting down, so it wasn't like he didn't know) he goes and pins another guy? Huh? The action was good in the match, but holy shit, I swear HHH himself laid that fucker out. Between that shitty way to build up everyone from Friday's show, and then the way this match was booked, everyone in that match looked pretty shitty, except the champ.
MillenniumMan831 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Jeff Hardy was made to look like a dimwit at the end by pinning Benjamin instead of breaking up HHH's pin. Well yeah, RedJed got that but it bears repeating. And let me be among the first to ask for a screencap of The Brian Kendrick w/ "Current WWE Champion" in the caption.
RedJed Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 They're giving Punk an "out" by getting jumped by Orton in the back, so either they're booking him to overcome all odds here or else it will give reason for the title loss. My bet is still Punk retaining.
Enigma Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Goddamn did they make Jeff Hardy look like an idiot. Why didn't he just pull HHH off of MVP instead of trying to cover Shelton like an idiot even though he was already the champion?
bob_barron Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 The shift button is your friend, converge. I didn't really get the impression of HHH burying anyone at all. As RedJed said, Hardy is the one who looked like a moron, but I don't think anyone else looked bad.
converge241 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 more hammering that odds are against Punk (see previous he'll retain)
