Professional wrestling thread

Seeing as how HHH is on every other time there's an angle, and seems to be on at the top of both hours more often than not, screams out in loud words to me.

 

At least he put Hardy over Sunday instead of himself.

But again, I seem to be in the minority of people who don't hate Hunter. I've always loved the character (except when he went by the full Hunter Hearst Helmsley moniker when he started in WWE) and just can't bring myself to hating him like most of you guys on here. I love Trips as a heel (he's one of the best) and as a face (I'm a schill for anything DX, even if it's just Trips and HBK). He's one of the best in the biz and will remain so for quite some time.

 

I don't hate Trips.....as a heel, he's perhaps the best since Flair in his Horseman days in the mid-1980s. As a performer, he doesn't cheat the fans and is passionate about the industry. I don't even question his marriage to Stephanie; who among us wouldn't cash in the ultimate wrestling money in the bank by saying "I Do" to the Billion $ Princess?

My issue is that he tends to put himself over (Sunday excepted) rather than doing like Flair and helping put new stars over. I know he sorta tried with Shelton Benjamin a couple years back and did help spring Batista, but whereas Flair helped Sting and Lugar become main-eventers, Trips seems more content to keep himself and his close buds on top rather than let others help get over. Maybe what he did with Hardy on Sunday is a start. To make a long story short, I don't hate HHH.

 

Hey, at least he's not like Hogan in WCW. At least HHH puts other guys over occasionally.

 

I'm ambivalent about Trips. Yes, he's an excellent in-ring performer. The difference with him and Flair (in his prime), was that Flair could make any opponent look good. Hunter can carry certain opponents, and have great matches with great wrestlers, but he's not quite as good as getting lousy opponents over. Flair, with his interviews, could get you to believe that the lowliest jobber was a threat to his title. Hunter, I don't get that same feeling.

As the saying goes, Flair could have a five-star match with a broom. (which, when you think about it, would be pretty entertaining to watch). Trips would probably smash the broom with a sledgehammer and end it.

 

Y2J hasn't really saved any interest for me in wrestling at all. Probably there's no one good enough on the mic at his level. Orton's promos are terrible: it's the same Legend Killer shtick.

I might watch Smackdown because of his new feud with JBL. Their little promo on Raw was very good.

 

JBL is done on Smackdown. They are supposed to have a new announcer soon as JBL will be a RAW "superstar" from now on.

 

And the new Smackdown announcer is..............

Jonathan Coachman. Ugh.

 

The Undertaker applied, but was found to have no personality.

What does anyone see in this guy?

 

Who, The Undertaker?

 

The same thing we've seen since he started wrestling in the WWE as The Undertaker?

 

I haven’t watched Raw in a while, but when did Jeff Hardy become a main event draw? He is way over with the fans, too.

I’m guessing Hardy is just a holdover until Trips or Ric Flair takes the belt from Orton at Wrestlemania.
