You are just angry because my Main Event would've been better :lookatme:

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 04:10 PM

bitter

LyricalGomez · 12-17-2002, 04:12 PM

:banana:

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 04:15 PM

I think all would be solved if HHH grew the beard back and stopped shopping for suits with Flair.

LyricalGomez · 12-17-2002, 04:16 PM

:banana: He should dress up as the dancing banana :banana:

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 04:18 PM

I hope you slip on it and break your pac chain.

LyricalGomez · 12-17-2002, 04:21 PM

I see envy is rearing its ugly little head

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 04:34 PM

I actually have an abnormally large head, I mean freakishly large.

LyricalGomez · 12-17-2002, 04:36 PM

Stop using your pick-up lines on me

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 04:44 PM

My cock is abnormally small.

LyricalGomez · 12-17-2002, 04:52 PM

Go scratch your balls

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 05:53 PM

mmmmm I just did, felt so good.

Goatweed · 12-17-2002, 06:00 PM

did my aloe-vera lotion suggestion work?

GonzoStyle · 12-17-2002, 06:05 PM

Baby oil.

Goatweed · 12-17-2002, 06:08 PM

Damn, I completely forgot about that - smells better, too! Glad to hear it healed up nicely :thumbs-up:

are we backstage at the meetings listening in to have this info?

I am not the biggest hhh fan, but he isn't the sole reason things suck right now. they need to concentrate on more wrestlers getting in the show, and less on useless backstage gibberish...tell the story in the ring, not with the microphone

LyricalGomez · 12-17-2002, 10:17 PM

Let's play connect the dots...Triple H sits in on the staff meetings, he listens to and gives advice on new storylines, it's a fact, not a claim.....Now who has been in the spotlight for Damn near 2 and a half years(not counting time off for injury) ?

Quote:but he isn't the sole reason things suck right now.

I would argue that if Triple H were to leave right now, things would start to improve. It might take a while, but as long as Triple H is there the company is hurting. He refuses to put anyone over unless absolutely necessary, he looks stiff in matches and hardly ever sells moves. When he gets up after a finisher because Flair distracts the other wrestler, he doesn't even attempt to make it look credible, he literally jumps off the mat rather than slowly climb to his feet after what is supposed to be a match ending move. He needs to go sooner rather than later

GonzoStyle · 12-18-2002, 07:22 PM

people constantly leak info and it's basically common knowlege since he started dating stephanie that he's gotten to be more powerful in backstage politics. He overdominates meetings at times and keeps certain people down and brings grudges to meetings, he is a bitter man, maybe for a good reason but still bitter.

With the suits now and shaved look come on you can't sit there and tell me he hasn't grown into a pompus ass, he's finally bought into the shit that he is the greatest ever.

Quote:Now who has been in the spotlight for Damn near 2 years

could it be that he is in the spotlight because the fans want to see him? or perhaps he sells a lot of merchandise (his dvd excluded)...granted, he doesn't sell stuff like the rock or austin did, but without him, do you really think the buy rates on ppv and the attendance would stay at the level it is now?

don't get me wrong, i would much rather watch a good technical match, but from a business standpoint, the wwe really doesn't have much other drawing power beyond hhh. steiner maybe for a few more weeks, maybe a month...hbk for a little longer...rvd...anyone else?

LyricalGomez · 12-20-2002, 04:27 PM

Rather than name a few others, let me ask you this, how do we know it the buyrate would go down? How do we know noone else has drawing power? We don't, because Triple H has not been out of the spotlight, so we can't say if they would do better or worse without the pompous ass in the spotlight.

Quote:but without him, do you really think the buy rates on ppv and the attendance would stay at the level it is now?

I can't offer exact numbers, but did they really plummet when he was out of action? Triple H is hurting the wwe more than he is helping them, because he will continue to push himself and will never put ANYONE over, and that won't help when he finally has to retire. You need people to put others over, Triple H will NOT do that, so as far as I'm concerned he is a big thorn who will become more and more of a problem as time goes on.
