jbergey_2005 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I agree i think hbk got what he wanted lost fair and square and retired. Thats what i got out of the storyline. They could make this about hhh wanting to 1 up hbk and so something he nor anyone else could do. I will agree, though. There is potential for a relatively interesting story where Trips is portrayed as selfishly being mad about HBK leaving and blaming Taker for it, as long as Trips played the heel in it. Problem is HHH is retiring and I dont see him wanting to go out a heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbergey_2005 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 not as bad as Sheamus becoming Mark Henry's personal jobber This is why they are having a hard time building superstars. Sheamus comes out and beats Cena in his first PPV I believe and now a little over a year later is jobbing out to a person that has been jobbing for the better part of 15 years.

angeldelayette Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 YAY for Hacksaw Jim Duggan. I enjoyed him back in the day and I'm glad he's in the Hall of Fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linsolv Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Problem is HHH is retiring and I dont see him wanting to go out a heel. But, and I'm not trying to be a jerk, I honestly don't see the basis of the feud. What did Taker do wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershot Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Problem is HHH is retiring and I dont see him wanting to go out a heel. True and imo face vs face is very hard to build good heat for. Lets cross are fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they will try to turn it into some revenge angle on HBK being forced to retire but who knows. Most of their feuds dont make a whole lot of sense:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linsolv Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Like... I guess they could go the easy route and have Undertaker insult Shawn's manhood or something. Except that Trips already called him out. Oops. On the other hand, Cole is heeling it right up. I'm impressed. EDIT: Welp, there goes the farm. Cole vs. Lawler, Trips vs. Taker...

Teh_Showtime Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 face vs face is very hard to build good heat for. The first HBK/Taker and HBK/Flair did it pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rager Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 My main problem with this is that Sheamus put Triple H on the sidelines for such a long time, and Triple H has just returned without seeking retribution. Undertaker's feud with Kane ended abruptly when Nexus helped to bury him alive, yet The Undertaker won't be getting retribution on either of them at the moment. My first impression is that this just seems too random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershot Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The first HBK/Taker and HBK/Flair did it pretty good I agree but the thing is they are the same storyline but with different workers. Thats the only route you can really go so that both workers have fans emotionally invested in them. Idk just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I figured that since Corre was 95% of the Nexus who took out Taker, that their being at Raw would lead to something. But the 3MR is something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astil Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Mmm, good heel stable action. Don't tell 'em who out of the Corre is invoking the rematch clause, just that the Corre is revoking the rematch clause. Mmmmhmmm...Barrett and Jackson as champs.

TLLK Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 When did the tag belts start looking like that? And they had to seemingly unite Cena and The Miz, since The Rock called both of them out like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLLK Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I stand corrected. What a finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I would have preferred 1 long match that Corre won, but oh well. Also liked Cena's kinda mocking the people's elbow (which the announcers didnt catch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampulator Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The first HBK/Taker and HBK/Flair did it pretty good Oh come on, you can do better than THAT.

Moe Hunter Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Has Christian been a main eventer at any point since he's been on Smackdown? If the answer is no, why would he be boosted to the main event for Wrestlemania of all pay per views? Edge & Christian is a WAY bigger draw than Del Rio, no matter how much they've been trying to push him everywhere. Stone Cold, Booker T & Trish on TE The Rock, Triple H and Undertaker on Raw Do you see the pattern? WWE is seeing the need for Attitude Era stars in order to really get the buyrates going. Del Rio vs Edge and Cena vs Miz simply don't have enough substance to do it by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Showtime Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 E&C enver main evented in the attitude era though. sure they had great matches, but they are hardly stars of the era in that sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation has been like this for years... I dont think it has ever been quite this bad though. Plus they always bring out the big guns for Wrestlemania.
