THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357

To the surprise of no one..
I knew Triple H was gonna turn heel, I just didn't see how. That was kinda dope.
The ending was too drawn out making it obvious as to what was about to happen.
This is the first time that Cena lost a match clean without some sort of outside shenanigans in at least 5 years.

All HHH needs to do now is bring in Eric Flair and draw Batista back in for Evolution 2.0
I assume you mean Ric?
I was saying the same thing...A clean loss for Cena finally..
Didn't he lose clean to the Rock at Mania 28?
Part of the purpose of Evolution was to elevate a young guy to another level so why bring in Batista. Seems more like a spot for a Kassius Ohno or Leo Kruger from NXT or elevate someone lower who is already on the roster.
so this was how del rio got that black eye..
They'll probably say it was Vince's idea so HHH can save face.
I was too but when I saw the finish to SD Friday night with Orton coming out again with the briefcase and HHH playing the good guy again, it didn't look right to me.
I like the match, the turn, and the idea of Bryan chasing Orton for a while (as long as he gets the title) with the idea of him getting payback on HHH as well, but it went exactly as I thought it would. I can say the same about the whole show really. But I'm not big on being surprised just put on a good show and WWE came through on this one.
I'll say both of the national companies have been going hard in the last couple months, ROH had a crazy show Saturday night on iPPV, and even the indies have been stepping up. Good time to be a wrestling fan.
No, he lost clean to Punk at 2011's MitB in Chicago and of course the first match with the Rock.
Well damn. Drew stay cutting up come SummerSlam time.
Del Rio's a legit fighter so that might have been a good one.
Another story about ADR and his eye
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ALBERTO DEL RIOby Mike Johnson @ 9:17 AM on 8/19/2013
One of the top questions we've received since last night' Summerslam is what happened to World champion Alberto Del Rio's face.
According to several sources, Del Rio was at an Irish pub close to where the WWE hotel was late Saturday night/early Sunday morning when he got into a fight with several patrons there.
One story is that Del Rio got into a verbal confrontation with someone and his friends stepped in.
When Del Rio returned to the WWE hotel Sunday AM, he had two black eyes and was trying to shield his face from everyone in the lobby. He was accompanied by Drew McIntyre, who was also at the Pub and stepped into the fight to help Del Rio.
We've also heard that McIntyre ended up with two knots on the side of his head during the fracas

Hopefully this makes for an even bigger push of Bryan and not like what happened with Orton and Christian a few yrs ago where Christian in my mind never really got any moment back after dropping the title to Orton less than a week of winning it. Bryan needs to get a legit title reign out of this whole thing.
Also not sure if it was just me but I felt the actual end to the Cena/Bryan match wasn't as good as it could be. I honestly expected Cena to kick out, I assumed he'd drop the belt but the ending felt somewhat off to me and of course i knew Orton was coming out because like others said the ending dragged on. You also felt like HHH was going to get involved cause again he never left the ring. To me this was a bigger moment for heel HHH than Orton. It'll be funny how they explain HHH as the heel and McMahon as the face moving forward. Corporate Evolution stable.
I've also come to accept that the WHC title is the new IC title. It's not for real top guys to feud over but the guys who are next up which is what the IC title used to be back in the day. They should just drop the US title and keep the IC title for lower card wrestlers to feud over.
I don't even think it's that high. It's what the IC title used to be in the 80s: the title you put on guys that can go but Vince doesn't seem them as for real top guys. Look at it now, it's ADR, Christian, Sandow, and Cody. I wouldn't say any of them will be in a real WM main event in the next 5 yrs. And the pecking order is clear and has been for over a month and they set it in concrete in the last few weeks: Christian can beat Sandow and ADR, ADR can now beat Chris and Cody, Cody can beat Sandow. But none of them can beat Randy Orton or John Cena or Punk or even Kane.
He lost clean to the Rock even though they obviously made it look like a bit of a fluke in that Cena got caught while mocking the Rock.
As for the match with Punk he got beat clean but that was after both Vince and John Laurinitis tried to get involved distracting Cena who then got caught by the GTS.
Your right bro. Daniel Bryan is the only cat they've allowed to beat Cena clean. No mocking, no interference no nothing.
I thought Summerslam was DOPE last night. I saw the rip and didn't see it live but it was very good entertaining wise. It wasn't flawless but I thought the Del Rio/Christian match and the Punk/Lesnar match were GREAT and the crowd was GREAT too which makes things a lot better. Even the diva's match wasn't terrible.

Didn't she quit after getting engaged to Cody Rhodes?
Okay, I'll give you the Punk one.
But Rock still stands.
Wow, other than the Rock, when was the last time Cena got pinned/submitted clean? I don't think I've seen someone go on this kind of run since the Hogan 80s when he went from 1984 to 1990 between clean losses.
I gotta give WWE some propz. When I woke up this morning, I was still mad at the how the PPV ended. I can't remember the last time they did something that effected my emotions into the next day. And actually got me hype to watch Raw on Monday to see the fallout.
Granted, the emotion they got out of me was anger and slight disgust .... but an emotion nonetheless.

Damn. Del Rio needs to leave the real fighting alone for a while. Crocop gave him that work back in Pride lol.

and isnt cody smashing alicia fox now..?
True...I feel like ADR got demoted somehow because I remember when he was feuding with Cena and Punk and now he can't even beat Christian regularly. It's also funny because if Ziggler doesn't get hurt who knows if ADR would be champion now. You can't be a top title and second on the card.
Rasslin' has my attention again. That dude Bryant is a Ticket Seller. They play this right and he can be the biggest thing since rock, Austin if he isn't already.
After last night RAW episode I try to imagine myself as the writer's and think where will they go with the Bryan storyline. I dunno I just hope they don't fuck it up. If the McMann's control everything how will Bryan get another title shot?

Mission accomplished, then.
Damn. Del Rio needs to leave the real fighting alone for a while. Crocop gave him that work back in Pride lol.
I remember that and they made sure to show that fight on the Best of Pride show when ADR got hot in WWE.
But Cro Cop could do that to 98% of dudes on Earth so no shame there.
It sounds like it took a couple dudes to lump him up on this one.
Back in the day if this happened in Mid South and Drew McIntyre didn't step in to help his cohort, Drew would have been fired and ADR probably too.

They do that with the WHC all the time. It's in the IC title spot. I could see putting it in the middle of the card but it's at a prelim status, not even where the IC title used to be but where the light heavyweight/cruiserweight titles used to be.Interesting thought on what it would be if Ziggler didn't get hurt. That might have saved ADR's whole summer.
That's always my issue when it's "(fill in the blank) McMahon against a wrestler" going all the way back to Austin.
I'm on the fence about having the McMahons back on tv too much (actually I'm against it) but if this leads to Bryan facing and beating HHH, I'm down.

Aaahhh you, my friend have your writer's cap on. That makes sense. That's why Triple H made sure he made his feelings about Rabdy Orton known. So maybe it will lead to Triple H taking out Orton paving the way for Triple H vs Bryant. It all makes sense now
I don't see him turning on Orton but more like Bryan targeting HHH.

TNA DOES A BIG 180 TO GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT
by Dave Scherer @ 6:03 PM on 8/20/2013
Hulk Hogan just tweeted the following:
"Dixie Carter and I have heard your feedback. @ImpactWrestling X-Division matches will be one-on-one. Tune in to @SpikeTV Thursday 9/8c HH"
Good. Triple threat matches can be cool but the coolness wears off if it's a weekly thing.
Orton has the belt so he has to be dealt with 1st and get him out the way. I know for me it would be epic if it plays out that way.
Yeah, I'd save Bryan vs HHH for after since he's already beaten Orton and did so on Raw. Bryan/HHH is a new match and the way you get guys to the elite level is to have them beat guys that are already on that level. HHH beat Austin, Foley, Michaels, and Flair so hopefully he elevates Daniel Bryan in a way he didnt' do for CM Punk two years ago.
Just thinking while catching up on Raw and Main Event
I didn't think turning Mark Henry face was a good idea and I like it even less as time goes on.
He would be the perfect monster to be managed by Heyman in his feud with Punk while Brock is gone. Let Henry beat him at Night of Champions or something and then let Punk beat him in a Hell in the Cell match at the HIAC ppv. Then let him avenge himself on Brock at Survivor Series or the Rumble.
He can't just beat on Axel every week.

Now THAT'S how you upgrade a bitch, Bully.
Side note: that spot SHOULD have been Velvet's and not Tessmacher's, especially with her relationship with Sabin.
