HHH at his peak was a world class wrestler and is still very good, however the HHH formula for an epic main event just never works.

HHH also isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is, especially at this stage of his career, and he hasn't been able to carry lesser/more limited workers in over 10 years.

HHH's formula might have worked if the crowd didn't hate Reigns and hadn't already been trained to not invest themselves into anything involving HHH because he just no-sells it on TV anyway. His match against Daniel Bryan and the 6-mans he was in against the Shield were great, and yet he refuses to learn anything from his numerous main event stinkers where he calls slow, boring matches that kill the crowd.

It has worked in the past, it just requires that he be taking on one of the best wrestlers in the world in a feud that's red hot where he is utterly despised but odds of him winning are high despite that.

hey now, don't you remember when the tide turned in the monday night wars when hhh drove a tank into wcw?

sure steve austin was kinda big but he was only lucky enough to ride a cultural wave with the rise of south park and the antihero. people were really tuning in to vicariously live through him beating up the boss. in fact, you could say hhh and vince won the monday night wars.

Every time I think back on Triple H's main event formula I'm reminded that he faced the Undertaker twice in a row and how theyre combined to be an hour long

My main thought is that while I'm sure it will be good if Nakamura treats it like a big match instead of a house show, Aries really hasn't shown me that much recently that would get me that excited for their matchup.

She went to Invicta in 2013. All she had to was make 135 twice without dying to earn a million dollars.

Cyborg has literally thrown away 98 percent of her potential earnings by not cutting to 135. Dave and Bryan haven't buried her enough, IMO
