Legacy Won, Huh?

[Uncle Sam]

Surprised there isn't already a thread on this. Maybe there is and I'm just being incredibly foolish.

But yeah, WWE.com seems to make out that Legacy won fairly cleanly. Somebody will have to explain to me exactly how they did it. Who made who tap out, under whatever situation, etc. etc.

This could be a big step though. Could be both the start of Legacy making something of themselves and Triple H putting people over.

Today is a brand new day.

 

[Vintage Nick]

They beat the shit out of Michaels, causing him to be incapitated for a while before ganging up on Triple H backstage, destroying him. Proceeded back to the ring, all the while dragging (and beating) HBK's ass. Michaels got a good offensive, but in the end it proved useless. Cody got him on the ring post and got Michaels's legs into a submission (I believe) and then Ted got Michaels up top into a Million Dollar Dream hold. Trips stumbled his way to the ring, but Michaels had already submitted.

Yes, I too was very suprised at Legacy managing to win here.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Clean-ish. It was a falls count anywhere match. I say falls count anywhere, it was submissions count anywhere (submission placing? Pretty much in the ring). The first of it's kind, I suppose that's something they'll never be able to take away from young Cody & Ted. Unlike the victory which will be avenged easily in the near future.

Triple H didn't put them over. Actually he valiantly took an absolute pounding off both the heels, one that would kill lesser men, and he was almost fine come the finish of the match. Damn that week link Shawn Michaels, damn him to hell.

 

[The Pope CTC MEM]

did not see this coming, I really expected HBK to win with the sharpshooter but i couldnt be more wrong lol. anyway i wasnt expecting legacy to win at all and got a nice surprise

 

[The Gribbler]

Glad to see Legacy were put over but I think we can all see that DX revival to end the feud come hell in a cell. As much as I love DX trips will NOT put over legacy, I am praying that trips will tear that quad again so that they are forced to put legacy over.

just my opinion

 

[GameOver]

For the record it was a Submissions count anywhere match not a falls count anywhere

and Triple H not being the loser has no bearing on him puting people over get over yourself, doesn't matter what he does you'd complain,

ever think that from a storyline prospective, HBK is clearly the weaker of the two physically so Triple H gets taken out so they can concentrate on the weaker of the two members, the one who just came back from knee surgery, HBK was always singled out as the weaker during every DX match.

I expected DX to lose this match, and HBK to be the end loser as he is more inclined to want to be the one in the spotlight either way, that and it would be a crowd pleaser to see both DX, and more specifically HBK getting beaten the hell out of in Montreal.

It also sets up a outside possibility, they goto Hell in a Cell and get some revenge but in the process HBK reinjures his back and takes time off again and contemplates retiring for good, Trips gets pissed that once again HBK walked away leaving him to mop up DX mess which would lead to there last fued, Triple H can go heel once again and HBK can retire.

Funny though that people winge that Triple H will never put Orton over or DX will never put legacy over, then when it happens they complain anyway

They won as cleanly as a submissions count anywhere can take place, ergo by submission in the ring.

personally i don't care either way. I don't see Legacy as a team being a huge impact in the future at some point they will have to split then we'll see what they are really made of on there own.

 

[BigT_HolyShit]

Legacy defeated DX. Fuck Yeah. Repeat. Legacy defeated DX.

Read that a few times and you will realise that this is big. Big.

In direct associatiion with this being a submission PPV, with Legacy making DX tap out..damn.

Legacy is finally being put over. Whether it be by Triple H, which in this case not, or HBK, im fine with it. This is what I have been waiting for. Legacy to be finally put over as a force to be reckoned with. Making HBK tap out made me mark out big time.

Just a side note though, I would love to post another thread about this yet can't yet, but this win just got me thinking. With Randy Orton losing his title on the same PPV, and Rhodes and Dibiase beating DX, could we be in for a Legacy break up sooner than we think? I mean, Legacy beating the team including Trips who Randy could not seem to beat cleanly could make for some interesting skits on Raw next Monday.

Legacy win: Fuck Yeah.

 

[#1DX_fan]

shock just as many as u, but dx won the last ppv, so it was bound to happen, u know how it goes, back and forward, and so on, but even tho dx lost, i cant sit back and say it wasnt a good match

 

[tLight]

Triple H put someone over? hahaha yeah thats a good one

Shawn putting someone over, now thats more believable. All respect to Shawn for taking two submissions last night, no respect to Triple H for "crawling" down the ramp and being a bitch.

Hopefully this is the build up that Legacy needs to finally become real stars and not just Orton's lackys

Guys, Triple H looked pretty damned weak crawling to the ring at the end. I think that was just about as humiliating as being forced to tap out.

 

[HHHDiedForOurSins]

Can't believe HHH finally steps away from the World title scene and works a mid card programme with 2 rookies and people are still complaining about him, the guy can never really win lol, I mean selling Legacy's beating for 10 minutes then stumbling to the ring barely able to make it to his feet while his partner taps out to them, I thought that match last night put Legacy over HUGE, they couldn't have done a better job IMO, even the Summerslam match they lost helped them greatly, the past month is the only time they've ever been taken seriously, I think DX are doing a good job.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Guys, Triple H looked pretty damned weak crawling to the ring at the end. I think that was just about as humiliating as being forced to tap out.

Exactly, couldn't of said that better myself. I seriously don't get how HHH plays the role of Undertaker due to him burying more people than Callaway. If you were someone with that high a role in a successful company, had a huge following, still offered a lot in your position & not showing any signs of slowing down... wouldn't you still want to be one of the top dogs?

Anywho, it is great that they gave Legacy a match win & I am NOT suprised they gave it to them. I mean, it's a submissions count anywhere match where its no DQ, no countout & no pinfall. These are the three ways that Legacy seem to be losing these days. Having bigger men pinning them down to the mat is going to cause them to kick out harder than usual, kayfabe speaking. They have interferences alot & need time-outs on the outside of the ring. Great match environment for them.

The WWE are in the current "Crisis Mode" whom are needing new fresh main event blood before the old veterans retire or step-down from their duties. Legacy is a great choice considering that they have been in many main event matches & both have great skills. Cody is a well-disciplined & refined young star whom knows & respects limits. Ted is ruthless, has aggression & innovates in the ring, especially with the Cobra Clutch Slam. Great pairing of stars that will one day go out on their own & succeed in oh so many ways.

 

[Billie Jean]

Yeah i too am glad to see Legacy put over. I feel this is over-due and is great to push these new stars. I am very happy to see Trips and HBK finnaly put someone over. I agree with Y2Jake, i think the finish was clean-ish. I don't think it was overly clean , but it was'nt dirty. They done it in heelish fashion, but they still played by the rules. I feel this is a great way to further their fued and it is a great way to build the new stars for the future.

 

[JBK2008]

I totally agree with ghoat here. I mean Triple H looked really really pathetic crawling to the ring. I give all the credit to Shawn for taking 2 submissions like that and holding on for as long as he did until he tapped out. As for Legacy...wow they are really looking good and they put on a hell of a show. They have Orton's mean style in the ring and they are coming into their own and both have taken some nice strides as future stars. The match overall was kinda dull at some points, but I give it a passing grade.

 

[XgringolocoX]

It's funny to me when people say "SoNso won't put people over." Look at the matches. Putting someone over doesn't always mean who walks away with the win. Remember the Taker/Jefff Hardy ladder match from awhile back? Taker won, kicked the shit outta Hardy, yet that match MADE Hardy as a believable contender. Don't even argue about his career and populatiry before that match. Watch it.
As for Legacy, they had to have this win. They've been booked kinda weak. Bein Orton's bitches is a rough gig. I felt that they had to have this win, or it was future endevour time for one of em...*cough* Cody *cough*
I'd love to see Ted go after Cena and one up his mentor Orton. I think Ted and Randy could have one hell of a series in the Mentor/pupil context.

 

[ianfromlondon]

I still dont understand why people bash HHH. he may have always been the guy who always held the title but other the past few years he seems to have become a great guy.
i think because he was the 'heel' before thats why he always had the title like orton is always in the title picture because its good to make the heel the main guy in the company.

HHH has matured i think from the guy who wanted to be the main guy, i think now he likes to have fueds with other people and try and help the younger guys, like at breakin point and raw when he put over legacy.

i think the main reason WWE made dx lose last night is the fact they were in canada and i dont think a DX victory would have went over well

HBK since coming back from his 4 year back problem has always been putting over younger guys, not by losing but by making them look good

 

[NSL]

This could be a big step though. Could be both the start of Legacy making something of themselves and Triple H putting people over.

Yeah, it could be a big step, and maybe we'll finally see Legacy as something other than Orton's lackeys, but it probably won't happen. Considering the location of the match, the way they ended was the best possible fit for Legacy to win. They beat HBK, with HHH nowhere to be found, and just about anyone I know loved it.

As far as HHH putting people over, no. Obviously not. He was somewhere on the ramp when it ended, and had no part in the outcome.

 

[Spaceman Spif]

Ya know something I am perhaps one of the biggest non-supporters of Triple H on these boards, I can not stand the man, nor can I fathom how insanely over he is, but he is. However even I can see that last night wasa huge step for Triple H. Was he the one who tapped? No, but that's fine as he pretty much took the same beating Michaels did. Triple H got the shit kicked out of him and I think he sold it very well. He didn't even come close to making to save, not close at all, he was still half way up the ramp. At least he didn't get up and run down the ramp, only to make the save just after Michaels taps, that didn't even happen. For once Triple H put others over and I was glad to see it, but yet you people still bitch and moan. Wow I can't believe I'm actually defending him by saying that's sad to still bitch about him when he obviously did his best to finally put someone over. Way to go Triple H.

 

[Athena]

They had to go over eventually. While I did like the way they made HBK tap without making him look weak (two on one submission while using the ring post), it's obvious that DX will get revenge at the HiaC PPV next month

 

[byrnside]

Proceeded back to the ring, all the while dragging (and beating) HBK's ass. Michaels got a good offensive, but in the end it proved useless.

Trips stumbled his way to the ring, but Michaels had already submitted.

Ah, I feel old.. That "submission move" on the ringpost was a figure four, I'm pretty sure Bret Hart made it famous, or at least he's the only person I've ever seen do it. It was a great move that hopefully Cody will keep in his arsenal. Pretty cool way they did it too, if you ask me. Hopefully this match leads to two things, the face turn of Ted DiBiase, and the heel turn of Shawn Michaels or Triple H. I know the latter is probably wishful thinking, but HBK was getting some pretty good heat, even though he was in Canada. I think it'd be possible, and a much needed refresher for either of their characters.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

I was shocked when I learned Legacy beat DX. But I suppose in order to make Legacy look like a credible threat, they were going to have to go over DX at some point. Or elese they would be viewed as a laughing stock like the Spirit Squad was back in '06.

The thing so few people understand is that Triple H, and HBK for that matter, are what they call "students of the wrestling business." They eat, sleep, and breath professional wrestling and the WWE. I feel like everyone either loves them or hates them, which I guess is understandable, considering the shit almost EVERYONE talks about them. Regardless, they are two of the hardest working guys the business has ever seen. If losing to Orton and Rhodes is going to be good for business, they're going to do it.. and they did it. The fact remains that Rhodes and DiBiase, Rhodes specifically, aren't huge guys.. So a clean pinfall or submission victory over someone who outweighs you by 40 pounds give or take is a little bit harder to believe when you don't have a solid move set like Rey Mysterio, or Chris Jericho, etc. Which is why it took both of them to force a seasoned vet like HBK to tap out. And why they took Triple H out before they could do it. The WWE had to do something to make Legacy go over but still not tear the credibility of DX down.. and they did it.

 

[DXOWNZ]

no respect to Triple H for "crawling" down the ramp and being a bitch.

haha. I was watching the ppv and crowd went wild at that point, just to see triple h fall and roll down the ramp lolz

 

[Liberace]

Just to let you people know I was there@ Bell Center in my hometown Montreal I started the chant "You screwed Brett" till HHH realized it we all hate Hbg*y this is the reason why LEGACY won its a tribute to pay when you screw over a canadian since McMoron is so anti-Canadian seriously if there can be a thread where we can use excessive profanities point it to me because the screwjob of the Undertaker was unacceptable I would ve preferred Orton to win as it was scheduled as planned and Undertaker to win but no mcmoron is getting favors from his boytoy champ right?

 

[Liberace]

LEGACY deserves to win and we can put this pathetic feud over with noone cares for DX or DPX when many had signs of that at the bell center when Imocked a few kids I told them shove your green glowsticks in your butt cause they are called deep penetration x
noone in montreal cares for HBGay Shawn Michaels or Hot horny and hard (HHH)
that was probably the only match that g ot me running to the floors outside the seating area besides that Kandy Kane sucks Khali should ve won but these matches are repetitive as a sequel to a damn move CENA SUX chants were loud and they ll be louder in Toronto Ontario tonight why
WE HATE CENA IN CANADA
