drat, I should check those shows. Haven't seen live Wrestling since AJ Styles had two super awesome matches in Helsinki (2003).

You loving wot m8, why has AJ Styles been here? :pwn:

But yeah I totally recommend it, the FCF events are very professionally put together and many of the wrestlers are honestly super talented. And, well, wrestling is at its best when you're there live. Nothing else quite like it. The next one unfortunately isn't until late May.

I'm amazed someone would put HHH in Cena's league as a draw. Cena is literally the only consistent draw WWE has had since Austin/Rock, that I can think of anyway.


HHH was a support player, like Foley. Just HHH got a way bigger push, so he'd get every chance to succeed and get WWE history shaped to make him look great

Did anyone put him in that league as a draw? I only compared them favorably as successful and influential workers and figures in the business that have both contributed a lot to WWE.

A little while back, but one of my favourite HHH moments is when he and Austin are alone in teh ring during one of the Rumbles, the next guy out is The Hurricane. He gets between them and tries to double choke slam them. Austin and The Cerebral Asskicking Assassin look at each other and then just chuck out Hurricane.

Is this The Hurricane incident that people mentioned? Coz I thought it was cool and funny.

DeathChicken

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

No, I believe the Hurricane incident is when Hurricane got to pretty much own Rock in a promo (which never happens), then beat him in a match...which was followed by Triple H beating Hurricane in a match with a loving sleeperhold

Didn't Hurricane win via distraction rollup? I'm pretty sure it wasn't a finisher into a clean pin or whatever.

Hurricane,a midcare comedy gimmick personified, had several backstage segments with the rock in early 03 in which he held his own or cane out ahead. This led to a match where Hurricane won off s distraction rollup. This was right before WM in which rock was facing Austin for the third time. Rock, one of the biggest stars in wrestling going into a feud with the biggest star in wrestling, let a midcard comedy guy get a huge rub off him. He didn't have to do any of that.

Or rather it could have been a huge rub because HHH made sure to bury him Ext week or so. I mean I'm sure it's not like the hurricane would have been a world champ by summerslam because of this mini feud with the rock but at least try to do something after pinning the rock. Or you know HHH can steal the heat and make everything the rock did and any possible benefit totally useless while he makes racist comments and then pins a black man clean st wrestle mania

Sometimes I worry that Triple H is going to show up at my house, hit me with a sledgehammer and then pedigree me on a frying pan.

Then he shouts at me and says hurtful things and I am crestfallen.

"Why, Hunter? Why?", I yell.

"Because it's what's best.....for business", he replies as he rips my TV off the wall and tosses it down.

I liked how The Rock was the only wrestler that didn't seem to realize that "intrepi reporter" Gregory Helms was a different person to The Hurricane.

This may or may not be correct.

One time Molly Holly clocked Hurricane and took the Hardcore Title, just to get owned by a door and lose it to Christian. That's my Hurricane memory.

Remember that mini-feud in 2002 HHH had with Bubba Ray Dudley shortly after Bischoff handed HHH the belt where Bubba cut a few impassioned backstage promos about how Raw "was not the HHH show" and went out of his way to spraypaint a table with HHH's name on it?

Here we are in 2017 and I'm still waitin' for that table to get used.

I'm certain every time HHH watches a movie staring the Rock he thinks to himself, "it's that guy I beat, because I'm HHH, king of kings, the rear end-"(etc)

Remember how before it was confirmed that the Rock couldn't do anything in the ring for insurance reasons, Triple H laid the seeds for a prospective Wrestlemania feud with The Rock in 2015, rather than woth any number of talents who could have benefited from such a feud

No not that. Injured as in isn't cleared to wrestle.

There's a TV taping this week and NXT is running a dual crew tour too. The absences should reveal who is out injured.

Trips didn't even job to Jeff Hardy when he was at his hottest and a win over him would have catapulted him into the same strato sphere as Cena.

When Jeff did win the title they did it in a triple threat where Edge ate the pin.
