Hey guys, before we start talking about Championships, shouldn't the WWE try actually making the ones they have matter? The WWE World is looking stronger, but you gotta remember, IT GOT ECLIPSED BY A NON-TITLE FEUD WITH TRIPLE H IN IT!!! His burying knows no bounds!!!!

Between Kushida and Sabin:
One of them has no goddamn clue what time it is at all points of the day, to the point that they DREW A WATCH on their goddamn tape so they could keep asking
I rest my case!

Because Triple H said so, and he is the boss. Well, technically Sasha Banks is The Boss, but Triple H is the real boss.

well they can't be that good bootaaay
you said so yourself
Fuck, I can't wait to get rid of this thing. Do you have any idea how disheartening it is to hit 'Submit Reply' and then see that monstrosity of an avatar sitting next to my perfectly worded, impeccably formatted post?
Fuck you Beef, fuck you Phil.

they need to get the belt off Big twittEr first. Cena is the only person to elevate it. Let him hold it for a few months and have Cesaro beat him for it a Summerslam.
Boom instant relevance

One of them rode in a DeLorean. The other ripped off Daniel Bryan/AJ.

Goddamnit I was going to say this but I didn't want to edit
Also that 24/7 Hardcore Title thing has come up before here from a few different people.
It doesn't change the fact that it is a goddamn awesome idea
You don't know what car Sabin drives~!
To quote HHH: The guy makes the belt, the belt doesn't make the guy.
Orton was clearly the wrong guy to hold the title.

Triple H name dropped it a few weeks ago. And then during the "Summer of Punk(2)" Punk said the exact same thing. WWE's been trying to transition for a while, it just seems like they finally didn't screw it up this time.

WCCW Episode 62 has an AWESOME Kamala promo.
Hardcore title can't work in a promotion that bans all shots to the head with weapons.
I still think Cena going after the IC title is the perfect way to elevate the status of that belt. The US belt should really be retired, Ambrose never defends it because he's caught up in Shield plots and the belt feels kind of pointless now in general.

I mentioned this before, but besides Booker who do you really feel bad about HHH burying?
To me Booker is the only legitimate one.
But RVD,Scott,Hardy? lol. Having them as a face in the company? No way (although Scott would have been hilarious)
Oh yeah Goldebrg was in that video too but in my opinion that guy never REALLY cared about wrestling. Might be an unfair opinion but by the time WWE rolled around no doubt it was just for an extra check.
Sure Foley and Jericho were in the video but those guys can't really be buried. Still amusing though.

I'm sure HHH very much has his own idea of what he wants the product to be (NXT is testament to that) and is eager to hurry up and implement it, rather than squeeze a scant few ideas past Vince.
He kind of buried Punk's momentum.
I wonder if at some point HHH told Vince "Listen, Dad, if you really want me to inherit this company you eventually need to trust me with my ideas. I'm not Vince Russo."

RVD defintly. he was fucking over when he came into the E.

That's a stupid way to think. Hardcore is not defined by head shots. Never was. Just because you saw it done that way doesn't mean it's the only way it can be done.

I agree. But at the same time, seeing matches that are supposed to allow anything but then nobody ever goes for a headshot really breaks suspension of disbelief for me. Like how HHH never swings a sledgehammer the right way.
I find it funny that they have no idea what to do with the US title now that Dean is holding it. The Shield becoming their powerhouse, Dean might as well vacate the title because... well, because both in kayfabe and out of it, it is just an insignificant weight he carries around. They kept it on him for far too long, he barely defended it, there's no context for him to defend it, there's no one for him to drop it without hurting the Shield.
The only hope is this feud with the authority somehow screwing him out of the title and then him going "well, whatever" and just not trying to get it back.

Ooo I'm gonna hit ya in the stomach with this chair then in the back. EC DUB EC DUB EC DUB
You can't even get color. If you're going to tell me blood doesn't matter in a hardcore match, you need to just stop because at that point it's no longer a hardcore match. It's a goofy gimmick match where the chairs might as well be pool noodles.

The stoner got a shot and fucked it up. At least Trips hired him back.
So Cena, never been IC champ. Why not I say. Gives him something to do besides stealing D. Bry spotlight.

Well I mean if they allow anything, why don't the guys just bring a gun and shoot each other? An extreme argument I know, but the thought process is the same.
They can't have had a plan for what the hell they were supposed to do beyond week-to-week, which is kind of awkward since I think Road Dogg is on creative.
RVD and Hardy easily could have been. I think they would have been main event mainstays if it wasn't for the drugs.
It's no wonder they stuck with Cena for so long after them and Kurt, at least he can be relied upon. Punk wouldn't have brought the company into shit like that which is why he apparently ended up being MITB winner twice and according to Lagana, wouldn't even have beat Morrison for the ECW title on his last shot if it wasn't for Morrisons wellness violation because McMahon didn't see anything in him.
I think they've got a lot of trust in Bryan, because what's a vegan wrestling nerd going to do?

Trips doesn't know how to use a Sledge hammer?
Looks right to me.
But really now, why risk legitimately fucking up someone. Even Bryan used it HHH style.

But he defended it against Mark Henry on Main Event last month.
Yeah, good point. I guess I wish they'd be a little more flexible with the head shots thing. I can't imagine they'd have issues with things like guitar shots to the head or the tinfoil trash cans.
Now that The Shield is part of the Authority storyline, I think Ambrose will lose the belt somehow. HHH might either outright strip him of the belt or put him in some match were he gets screwed out of the title.
Yeah I don't think so either, but he was in that burial video so I brought it up. Considering his problems I think they gave him just enough without him embarrassing the company.

1 month from last defense? I've never heard of that rule, video of when it happened?
Oooo then have a title tournament. YAY!
Surprisingly enough, exactly a month ago:
http://www.cagesideseats.com/2014/3...blog-march-11-2014-dean-ambrose-vs-mark-henry
Thus they could still do the title strip when RAW is on.
Hardcore titles as a rule was pretty stupid. It kind of ruined the appeal of a true hardcore match. A 'true' hardcore match was simply a match with no rules where they took two guys and used it as the payoff. It was the absolute, 'These fuckers absolutely hate each other, and they're going to be allowed to do whatever they want. They're going to beat the shit out of each other because they hate each other.' Not because it's some gimmicky ruleset.
Fuck shit like Blackman and his cornball trash can lid spots.

It's an old school rule that I don't believe WWE has ever referenced before.
I feel bad for Booker, but fuck, Austin killed RVD more than HHH. RVD was SO OVER during the Invasion. Right away. So much so that they put him in the triple threat with Austin and Angle. And he totally should have gone over. But Austin didn't want to drop it (which I can't really blame him because it would have been a short reign for RVD anyway, but it would have made the Invasion more interesting and cemented RVD) and Vince wasn't going to put his belt on an ECW/WCW guy at that time.
Scott Steiner...I don't even know what the fuck they were expecting. Dude had been out of wrestling for a while, definitely wasn't able to keep up even at the end of WCW, and then they expect him to come in cold for a 20 minute main event.

I feel like they can't bring up the "1 month" rule. It'd open up a can of worms they aren't ready for. They'd have to actually start using their secondary champions.
I can only imagine Scott on Good Morning America as WWE champ.
More Prince Devitt news. He signed on to do an Indy date on may 18:
I'm not sure what he is doing right now. It doesn't make sense for him to leave New Japan to do Indy dates for 2 months. He has been silent on twitter since his last match in New Japan.
So is playing hardball with the WWE or is going to take to June for him to come over to NXT?

Now's a great time for a King of the Ring.
An article about it. Sorry that it is Bleacher Report, but the best I could find:

EDIT: New Page!
No doubt. It's a legit gimmick without having to worry about talent getting hurt in crazy matches.
