garfieldsnose 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 What I'm getting out of it is that they wanted the fans to turn on the match because it was boring since Jeff Hardy wasn't there. No high flying type shit, just a boring old mat wrestling match with someone who needed to lose the belt and someone who people didn't give a shit about. Then you have two surprises out of the blue, one with Ede returning and then Hardy running in. That's what I got out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 Yeah, while I'm not sure if any of that booking is a good idea the end reaction was in fact what WWE was wanting. For instance, they wanted people to be pissed that Jeff wasn't wrestling. They wanted fans to crap all over that HHH/Kozlov match (which really was a standard TV type match and not a Steiner RR 2003 level debacle). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promoter 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 Of course where does that leave HHH? Have him go after Undertakers Streak. The backstage politicking for that match would be worthy of a documentary.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 I see. I still don't fully buy that HHH, if he really were the insecure dictator who refuses to look bad even in video game form that everybody complains he is, would go out into the ring thinking "okay, I've got to make this match stink the joint up, make myself and my opponent look bad and get boring chants". But I kinda get where people are coming from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
