Of course there's no pleasing the IWC...but how many groups of people that large ARE easily pleased? I've come to accept the fact that no matter what the WWE does, there will be people unhappy with what they did. But that's the case with any TV show, is it not? But I really have to take issue with the people complaining about No Mercy, and specifically what Triple H did.
Did you people start watching wrestling last week? What happened at No Mercy was standard procedure in the wrestling world, that is how it ALWAYS goes. It was nothing special for Triple H. Make the face look good, show they're clearly better than the heel, and have the heel find a shady way to win. That makes the fans want to see the heel get what's coming to him even more. That's the only way the face and heel can both come out of it looking as good as possible. You want Orton to destroy Triple H and beat him cleanly? You want them to bury their top face and destroy his credibility. Yeah, great idea. Make it so nobody cares about the Triple H - Umaga fued, and make Orton look like the perfect unbeatable wrestler so nobody will cheer for HBK against him. Great idea.
You people complained when Triple H buried everybody when he was a heel, and you were right. As a heel he was beating faces cleanly, thus burying them, and that was the wrong thing to do. And now you want Orton to do the exact same thing? What is wrong with you people. Do you even think before you go complaining about something, or do you just like complaining that much?
Triple H wasn't going to be in the title picture. He wasn't anywhere near it. The WWE were in an emergency situation, needed him to step up, and for one night he did. He gave Orton a huge heel rub and now he's back out of the title hunt again, fueding with Umaga while HBK fueds with Orton.
I do agree with the person that said it's the internet's fault...the IWC brings it on themselves, by reading spoilers and rumors and knowing what's going to happen in advance. Of course you're going to think it's predictable when you know what's going to happen. That's why the WWE doesn't care about or listen to the IWC...they worry about the majority of their fans, the ones that aren't part of the IWC. They're a lot easier to please and have much more realistic expectations. The IWC is sort of like a bunch of kids who look at their parents receipts before Christmas and then complain that they weren't surprised by any of the presents.
As for HBK's return...two things: first, I'm a huge HBK fan and I'm very glad to see him back. Second, I think it's ludicrous to have him come back and within a minute go after the champ. What happened to earning your way up, especially for a guy who hasn't been champ in god knows how long? A guy returns and within a minute he's attacking the champ, and presumably he's going to get a title shot three weeks after his return. And the people happy about that are the same ones complaining that Triple H got back into the title picture so soon, even though he waited two frickin months, and he's already back out of it. But it's all fine and dandy and yay for HBK getting into the title picture on his first night back.
And yes, I was one of the people complaining that Orton won the title at No Mercy. I didn't watch Raw tonight and I don't plan on it until that scum of the Earth doesn't have the title anymore. I believe that God invented the DVR just so I can record Raw and fast forward through his matches and promos. But I've been saying for months that I didn't want to see him be the champ. I would've preferred to see Triple H keep the belt, especially after finding out that HBK returned on Raw. They should have had HBK cost Orton the title against Triple H, so they could have Orton and HBK fued without the title, and then have Trips and Umaga fued over the title.
And finally, in response to the krzkid, who said it's not right to go off on someone because you disagree with them...seriously, what do you think these forums are for? Everybody has the right to an opinion and everybody else has an equal right to disagree with everybody else's opinion. If people didn't want somebody going off on them and disagreeing with them, I don't think they'd come to such a public place and express their views.
