He's gonna die.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Looks like Triple H had one too many shakes. He's got a belly on him.

 

[The_Reptile_]

Okay it's not as one sided as I was expecting.

 

[The_Reptile_]

Annnnnnd here we go.

 

[Dream]

Lol what are they going to say? Paule poisoned HHH?

 

[Con T.]

The Green Ranger's powers are dying out!

 

[Dream]

I would be fucking furious if I was at this event live lol

 

[The_Reptile_]

Curtis Axel = So Amazing His Mere Presence Causes Peoples Bodies To Break Down!

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Awful ending. Genuinely terrible.

You're just peeved because RVD didn't show up. :V

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Well....that was bullshit! Joe better be getting a real push cause that was some serious bull.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

You're just peeved because RVD didn't show up. :V

Not in the slightest, that was just awful.

I wanted H to just collapse.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

Lol wtf happened?

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

What harm could it have done for Curtis to jump him outside the ring, throw him back in and hit a finisher into the pin?

Because it wouldn't be about HHH.

Period.

 

[klunderbunker]

Review is up.

What's In A Name? Not Much Unless It's HHH.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Triple H was doing his rendition of the shower scene from Rocky V, could be a smart enough way to play him out as a wrestler, saying he can't compete due to too many head injuries, then in a few years or y'know whenever he'll make his grand comeback. Basically I think Triple H may be trying to become Rocky Balboa in a way.

That was the best Raw in a while to me. Some good developments, it did very well considering there was no John Cena, no CM Punk and no Dolph Ziggler - yeah I have to include alongside the completely talented names because hes still World Heavyweight Champion, but I digress. The Curtis Axel thing is kind of weird considering he was in the main event of Superstars last week, you'd imagine they'd keep him off television if this was planned in advance?

Either way, really good episode of Raw, huge improvement on last weeks trainwreck, WWE App is driving me nuts and I've not even downloaded the son of a bitch, nice to see another young talented with the skills being pushed especially with a guy like Heyman in his corner and the wrestling tonight was well above what Raw usually exhibits so I'm pretty happy.

A man who was not medically cleared after being struck in the head with a fucking sledgehammer competed anyway against the doctors orders.

After the strenuous activity he was woozy and doctors refused to let him continue the match. Why is it so hard to understand concussions and head injuries?

The doctors stopped the match, so even Axel doing anything to him at that point would not have meant anything, aside from attacking a man not fit to compete. The ending made complete sense. Triple H was not 100%, there was a back and forth match, and in the middle HHH reached a point where medical personell refused to let him continue.

Agreed. And now Triple H can go away for a couple months while Axel gets some heat by bragging about putting him on the shelf. He'll probably mention it over and over until Triple H returns to shut him up, probably at SummerSlam.

Out of sheer curiosity, how would you have booked that match KB?

Anything that leads to something else besides HHH/Lesnar.

 

[The_Reptile_]

I have to say, I'm surprised the E had the balls to do this when Lawler had a heart attack on screen not even a year ago.

 

[klunderbunker]

If you want to do that ending then fine. Instead of having HHH beat the tar out of Axel though, have Axel hit something big and THEN have HHH not be able to continue.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

Trouble is, Axel is not high profile enough for feud with HHH at Summerslam. If they do anything by that, he would destroy Axel on some RAW just to let you know that he is fit and then probably feud with Punk or somebody more high profile. And HHH is not Jericho to get back and give high profile wins to anybody even on RAW, let alone on some big PPV.

It's May. Summerslam is in August. Plenty of time for Axel to brag, build him up (maybe he wins the IC title between now and then), then HHH returns to fight him.

And maybe HHH won't return at Summerslam. Maybe he'll wait til another PPV. Or even Mania. We don't know how well HHH's body is holding up at his age.
