They didn't HAVE to put the strap on him for that though did they? Orton could have easily RKO'd Steph at Mania or after and HHH and Orton could have fueded after the draft.
That would be stupid and make no sense at all, why would Steph be in the ring at WM, to check on Cena?, she could give a shit less about Cena or any other wrestler on the WWE roster that Orton might face, with the exception of Trips
Yet more hot potatoing of the WWE title wasn't needed at all. Why couldn't Taker have won the belt and dropped it on SD to someone else?
A.)they needed to put the belt on Trips in order to give a reason for him to be in a match with Orton at WM, Orton won a #1 contender spot for WM at the RR, why would he pass up a shot at wiining the belt on the grandest stage of all, just to face Trips, unless Trips had what he wanted, which is the belt, and B.) your saying the WWE didn't need to hot potato the belt, and then in the same sentance say they should have given it to Taker, so he could drop it to someone else on SD!, you completly contradict yourself, you don't think they should hot potato the belt yet your suggestion is for them to hot potato the belt, WTF man?!?
My point was that HHH doesn't need a legit reason to win the belt and drop it 7 weeks later.
Umm yes actually he did, cause otherwise this match would make no sense as I stated before, Orton gets a title shot at WM, in order for Trips to face him and get payback, he needs the title so that Orton will have a reason to want to get into the ring with him, it's common sense really
Besides, before yesterday they've hidden the HHH/Steph marriage from the public eye.
Yes which is why everyone in the world already knew they were married in real life, please
, I've talked to people who are not smarks by any means, people who know very little about the behind the scenes shit that we do, and they all knew Steph and Trips were real life husband and wife, WWE hasn't done shit to keep it a secret
To suddenly re-introduce him as Steph's husband is typical of current WWE booking. "Fuck what we've done before now, this is what we're doing now." is WWE's current stance on writing.
How many of the current fans remember the Steph/Trips divorce that happened like 5 years ago?, not many most either forgot, wern't fans at the time or just plain don't give a shit
You know. To be completely honest. I think this has a very strong chance of ending in a DQ. I know everyone and their mother and grandmother will be pissed about a title match at WM being ended in a DQ. But think about it. Trips is fucking PISSED about what Orton did to Stephanie. If I was him, I would go full blown crazy when I got my hands on him. Do anything in my power to just beat the shit out of him. It would make sense. But people would also get very pissed with it.
I do think that Orton will go over here. I'm just not quite sure how yet. I think it could possibly end in a DQ though. Unless they make it a NO-DQ match quite similar to Austin/Rock WM17. We shall find out...hopefully.
I doubt it'll end in a DQ, I fully expect a either a No DQ stipulation to be added to the match or some sort of gimmick match, my Brother in law is convinced this match will end up being HIAC, I kinda doubt it, at least not at WM, maybe Backlash, but I wouldn't be surprised with some sort of Stipulation be adding to ensure that we don't get a DQ finish
