HHH should step aside, let someone else main event Wrestlemania.

[Mitch Henessey]

Dude were talking about Main Eventers here and the lack their off, especially when it pertains to Wrestlemania. And it does matter that Trips never put Jericho over the 20 or so times they've worked because it gives the audience the impression Jericho is extremely inferior to 3H. Now I could understand a face 3H always going over a heel Jericho, but when the roles are reversed? Come on. On that Raw in 2000 were it appeared Jericho had won the WWE Title only for the decision to be reversed because Hebner was a pussy and didn't want 3H to kill him that made no sense, you saw how the crowd went apeshit. At the least they should of had a rematch at the following PPV with Jericho going over clean then he could of dropped it back to the all mighty 3H at say Summerslam. For some reason WWE always likes o make Jericho the butt of jokes and it really makes people say "what a goofy idiot" and not what a great Wrestler and performer as he should be looked at, even Orton isn't treated as a joke like Jericho. Yeah the Punk thing did involve Taker and not 3H my bad for being irrelevant on that 1. And Morrison has had success no denying that, but to what level? Former IC/ECW/Tag Champ, not a bad resume right? The problem is you have someone with absolutely no talent on Raw as WWE Champion, even I rather have Cena Champ rather then Shameless but hey I dont workout with 3H so I dont know...But the point is that Morrison had his IC Title reign cut short for Shawns buddy McIntyre and I just happen to think it's unjustified and bullshit to be honest, only my opinion though. I like McIntyre 3x more then Sheamus but that's not saying much. WWE had a great opportunity to give JoMo a classic lengthy run with the belt but said fuck him just because Kliq founder HBK wanted his buddy with a belt just as 3H and Sheamus, it's just typical political bullshit as usual by the same assholes who hold everyone back they see fit.

I remember that Raw where Jericho was going to win the WWF championship. What you have to remember is, that moment was more so about Earl trying to screw Triple H, and yeah the crowd did go ape shit, but still this moment was more so about Earl screwing HHH.

Do you remember Jericho's feud with HBK going into Wrestlemania 19?HBK was also a HUGE rival for Jericho, but HBK got the win over him at this ppv.Do you think this loss hurt Jericho? I don't think it did. Now of course as we all know, the evil heel version of Jericho would go on to get the best of HBK during 2008, but still even with those loses to HHH and HBK at Mania, Jericho is consdiered a major superstar.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, I think the Sheamus win was designed to create shock value. I don't think he'll go into Mania as WWE champion, but we will have to wait and see.

Morrison losing the IC title isn't as big of deal as you think it is. I understand you being pissed off that McIntyre is the champ because of an endorsement by HBK, and to tell you the truth, I'm not that crazy about him being IC champ myself. Morrison did have a solid reign as IC champ. He kept coming out on top over Ziggler, and as you mentioned, he had an incredible match with Rey. Morrison is still a major player on Smackdown, and he will be a major player in WWE for the future.

Okay, I have to ask you a question. Would perfer it if Orton and Cena constantly main evented Wrestlemania? I ask this because there are people that will still complain if those two are in the main event.

I wouldn't have a problem with them 2 as much as 3H due to the fact 3H being in the Wrestlemania Main Event has become a overkill at this point. I know I dont wanna see ANOTHER Triple Threat Main Event simply because im not a fan of 3 ways Main Eventing a Wrestlemania, im a old school Singles Match Fan I guess. I give your boy Trips credit as he was the man back in 97-2001 or so but even you gotta admit he's lost it a little and there is a time and place to let your audience know "this is our future and who your gonna see 7 years from now" just as an example. I would just hate for bs politics to keep down Main Event potential Stars and building towards the future. 3H has been notoriously known for putting a stop to Rising Talent, MVP and Umaga are just 2 examples.

To IC25: You was right I was so wrong. HHH should be in the Main Event at Wrestlemania forever and ever. If HHH isn't in a WM Main Event then its just not WM. OH WAIT! You also were right. Its cause of ppl like me. Who don't watch wrestling anymore cuz of up & comers like sheamus who hasn't done anything only a few months later to become a boring fluke WWE champion. LLLLOLLLL!

Ok let me be serious now. Have you watch WM 2000 to WM 25? I know minus 17 & 24. You don't think HHH has worn it down by now? WM 25 HHH vs Orton was awful. Did it really made sense for HHH to be in a Main Event at WM 24? I mean he didn't do anything but hogged up a WM Main Event spot. That moment should of been just Orton & Cena or someone else. WM 25 It should of been CM Punk vs Orton. But HHH just have to get in the way, instead of letting someone else have WM ME moment.

Yes I was serious about sheamus being a WWE fluke champion. The guy is boring but i still watch WWE.

You probably don't remember this but when Cena ron the Rumble, he used his main event shot at No Way Out. So that meant that they had to have two EC matches and whoever won would main event Wrestlemania. HHH won his match so he got the right to face the champion at WM so it did make sense. It isn't his fault that Cena used his opportunity at No Way Out. And why should CM Punk have been main eventing WM 25? What did Punk do besides have multiple shitty reigns as champion to deserve that spot?

Yes I do remember that Cena won RR 08 and use his WM title shot early at No Way Out. I also understand that HHH had won EC to become a #1 contender to get his shot at WM. But at that time Jeff Hardy could have won EC and it would have been Cena vs Orton vs Jeff at WM 24. But really why did HHH won EC? Well cause he wanted that WM ME spotlight. For WM 25 remember Orton screwed Punk out his first title reign at Unforgiven. Orton to Punk for the title WM 25 would of made more sense

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

HHH should not step aside, not at all. It is not ALWAYS about pushing people, and people getting their "respect." If WWE had a young guy, who has never held the WWE/World Heavyweight championship, that was big enough to go over someone like HHH, Orton, or Cena at Mania, they would do it. But they don't. No mid card guy is even close to that kind of push (Sheamus especially, title or no title, this guy is still a mid carder).

HHH should main event mania. And if he doesn't, Undertaker should. Or Shawn Michaels, Jericho, Orton, CM Punk (hasn't main evented mania, but he's on that level) or Edge. I would say John Cena, but my bias against him prevents me from doing so. They have NO mid carder who has a big enough name to carry this event. And I know some of you are going to complain that giving a mid card guy a shot at the Mania main event is a great way to push a guy. You DO NOT use the Wrestlemania Main Event to push someone who isn't main event level. HBK headlined a Wrestlemania before he beat Hart. Austin was soooo over, there was no way they couldn't give him the main event spot at 14. The main event has to be MARKETABLE! At any other pay per view, you can give a solid mid carder a title shot, and see how people react. NOT at Wrestlemania.

And I am sick and tired of people bashing the HHH/Orton match at Mania 25. That was a good, solid, old school match. A grind-it-out, technical match with a lot of passion. I hate to break it to all you SPOT MONKEYS out there, but it's not all about big spots, and I guarantee that is a major problem for you people bagging on that match. They had a GREAT feud, the best feud in years. HHH, as said earlier, HAD to win that match. It was a personal feud between a FACE and a HEEL! In that scenario, the face goes over, end of story. Great feuds are SETTLED at Mania. Unfortunately, the WWE kept that feud going afterward, which was stupid.

Well Meth Hardy went and got suspended 2 weeks before Mania anyway, so, no, they couldn't have done that.

Orton to Punk for the title WM 25 would of made more sense

Orton v A member of the family Orton has attacked repeatedly for 2 whole months, or Orton v Mr Pepsi Tattoos for no reason? Yeah the second option makes so much more sense for a WM ME, doesn't it?

 

[Davi323]

Considering we don't know Triple H's opponent for WM26 yet, assuming he will be in the main event is a little premature, isn't it? I don't know if anyone has noticed this or not, due to the large fanbase that simply assumes Triple H is the most selfish wrestler on the planet, but he hasn't been in serious title feud for what, a year? More? His time with DX allowed others like Cena and Orton to become the headliners, not him. For as much crap as HHH gets on boards like this, he has backed down. He has stepped away from the main event some to give others the chance. Until we know what he is doing at WM26, there is no way to know what his position on the card will be. And that is dependent on who wins the Royal Rumble tonight, something HHH is by no means guaranteed to do.

 

[Avrusha92]

Triple H not in the main events of Mania is just stupid, he is one of the biggest names WWE has, Love him or hate him, The guy is the game!
People hate on him because they feel hes getting his spotlight because he is married to Vince's Daughter, Absolutely not!
Triple H earned the right to headline WrestleMania's, and be the top main eventer.
He is one of the only ones left from the Attitude Era, Who else from the attitude era right now is as good as Triple H? Kane? Big Slow? Taker is definatley going to have a Main Event but Triple H is younger and can move better than Taker, hes been in WWE for a very long time, accomplished so much, and he could work with alot of young stars.
And I rather see HHH main eventing instead of Taker, because I enjoy watching Triple H wrestle than Undertaker because Taker is old and cant move as well, and in my eyes BORING!!
As for him not letting younger people rise in fame..True! he hogs the spotlight, but he also deserves to be in the Main Event. For me not to see Triple H in a main event, or a big match at WrestleMania is awkward. When was the last time Trips wasnt in the WM main event? WrestleMania 23? It was a great WrestleMania sure, but Triple H should be in the main event, or a big match.
Where else could Triple H be on the card if not Main Event or Big Match?
Money in the Bank? Cmon!
Stop hating on trips!

 

[Super Crazy]

Having Triple H main event Mania, right now is a great move for the WWE. He is one of the top faces in the WWE, the others being, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, and The Undertaker. Now, with the possibility of Undertaker/Michaels II looming, that automatically takes out two of them. With John Cena supposedly suffering from injury, setting him up to main event Mania might also be a bad move as his injury could worsen, same goes for Taker, whose also had reports of injury as of late.

Right now, Triple H seems like the only viable option out of established main event faces. But really, everything that happens at Mania, really begins tonight. Depending on the outcome of each match, we will see the card for Mania start to take shape.

Oh dear God, more of this garbage? HHH is "hogging" up a spot at Wrestlemania? He's one of the best and most consistent performers on the roster. He's a near 20 year veteran and he's proven himself on every stage imaginable.

Come on now IC, the guy is mediocre at best, and does not deserve championship runs and countless Wrestlemania main events. You say he's one of the best and most consistent performers on the roster; that's a load of shit, my friend. Just look at last year's Wrestlemania main event. It was beyond terrible, and I'd say 75% of wrestling fans would agree with my assessment. The 'Mania before that, that triple threat match HHH was involved in was another terrible match. So, there goes your consistency argument, since when it comes to headlining Wrestlemaina, the guy doesn't have a great track record.

Moreover, let's not forget what he has done this year. As HHH said himself on Raw, all he's done this entire year is run around playing jokes with his 40-year-old pal. How is someone like THAT deserving of main eventing the biggest show of the year? He doesn't draw, he averages about 3 good matches a year, and every week instead of working hard like a lot of talent, he gets by by participating in "comedy" segments involving a dwarf.

The fact of the matter is that HHH is in no way, shape, or form deserving of a championship, or a main event slot. His ass belongs on the mid-card, putting young talent over. I'm not saying he has to lose every match, but still... right now he should be helping in rising the future of the company, rather than burying them and then making jokes about it on TV.

 

[Tastycles]

The simple reason is that he is the only person that has been in the main event consistently since 2000, so it is unsurprising that he has been in the main event every time. The fact he's spent time as a heel and a face means that he has also had a deep pool of possibilities. John Cena has headlined every Mania since 21 too, Mania is a time for the biggest names, and as he has been in the top four names consistently and there have been two title matches a year, it isn't surprising that he has been such a big deal as a result. In all honesty, he probably shouldn't have been there every single year, but I don't think it's that much of a problem, it's not as if he's winning these matches.

First off all I said Jeff Hardy not Matt Hardy. Second I think it made waay more sense to be Punk vs Orton then seeing HHH vs Orton for the 100th time at WM 25. Oh yea smarty there was a reason for Punk vs Orton that WWE should have went with. Rember unforgiven 08. Orton cause Punk to drop the title with the punt kick. WWE drop the ball and didn't follow through. Instead we get HHH stopping another talent from having a WM ME moment.
