you're missing vs. Sting

That's the point :/.

I want to forget about that match and the silly feud between both parties.

Max Landis's favorite wrestler absolutely would be a guy who thinks he's way better than he actually was

i liked the Trips vs Batista series

Someone should have stopped you, Seph.

That was cool though...

he got destroyed by RLM but still accepted their invitation to do a BoTW! he seems like a cool guy when he's not a drama queen

Solid story line really. Maybe didn't gel too well together in the ring, but story line was solid for sure.

Botches on wrestling shows are considered "film accidents" by wikipedia. Who knew.

You're just jealous that I grabbed the #BrassRing and beat you to the punch with that thread

Thats the most irritating/frustrating part about him. When he's not being a grating millennial stereotype he seems like he's a decent dude.

HHH is an all time great. So is Cena. I don't even know how either could be argued at this point.

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

HHH got a well earned mythos to him. The only true stain on his career imo is the DX revival.

Thing is wrestling isn't in a vacuum. The reign of terror was god awful yes, but put in the context of how it built up to such a head of who was finally going to topple it and it's great storytelling.

he bought us all pizza and while waiting in line, he brought me water/gatorade

he is legit to me.

Bought off with pizza and Gatorade. I thought you had integrity.

I took very special care to not say "the only black mark" in my previous post.

It can be argued when you're dealing with a Cesaro mark.

 

[Data West]

But the angle of who toppled him never went anywhere. No one got the rub. Benoit existed merely to give the title to Orton. I don't remember a thing from his reign past winning the title. And Goldberg was already a big deal coming in so the idea of him beating Triple H(after he had already lost to him the month prior) didn't do anything for his character

 

[imBask]

This isnt?

A king of kings buried a boring worthless WCW loser

big deal

Bingo. The HHH Reign of Terror would have been a little more fondly remembered if it actually ended with someone beating HHH and being made because of it. Benoit ending up being a glorified transitional champ hurt that whole rub.

it was really hot

and we were waiting in line for hours

 

[Jimmy King]

Honestly, I thought you guys were talking about Batista as the person who toppled H

that's because benoit is boring as a champion.

just like how cm punk was boring as a champion for most of his lengthy reign. except because he was a face no one cared about who was eventually going to end it and they had to turn him heel.

fighting face champions are boring, I think bret's the only one that gave it a good look and that's only because he had the ring smarts to elevate chumps and make them look close to his level. I take that back, cena did great with the US title doing the same thing this year.


Also after HHH dropped the belt he was fighting with Eugene that summerslam #payingitfoward

 

[funkystudent]

Triple H is the Bella twins of mens wresting but has been a wet blanket for 3 times longer.

but that's not HHH's fault in any way, he also tried to elevate Bryan by jobbing to him at WM30 and that idiot proceeded to get injured TWICE

As much of a Bret Hart mark I am, there's one other guy who I think was a good fighting face champ.

 

[jmdajr]

great? maybe for wrestling...

And that's enough most of the time.

I don't know how many storylines have surpassed the medium.

Vince and Austin maybe? And even then it's super basic.

And that's ok. It's all about the characters and the ride.

Very true, that came to me just after I posted, hah.

very true

as inconsistent as the D-Bry/Authority angle was, the final payoff at Mania was more joyous and exciting than any of the Marvel movies have ever been for me. I only pick Marvel because that's THE hot property, but you get it.

That's like comparing a bagel to a UN meeting

 

[Sephzilla]

The Authority angle living on after WM30 still pisses me off. There's no reason that should have continued on after WM30 wrapped.

I assume bagels are part of the spread at the UN meetings.

Nah. Triple H and Stephanie will be the power figures for decades.

Maybe they should have changed things up a bit since WM30 though. Take more time off TV or something.

If I am gonna watch a show like Game of Thrones..it's needs to be uninterrupted.

So that's never.

I can watch WWE without my undivded attention. That's why it works. That's why I still can.
