Since going to Smackdown theres heat on HHH for going out of his way on camera to emasculate younger talent...MVP, and Shelton Benjamin. Alot of the guys in back are upset(about HHH's recent promo) and have went to The Undertaker about this and Undertaker agrees that he sees it and understand show they feel. The belief is that a showdown is coming between Undertaker and HHH, due to HHH's treatment of the other boys in the lockeroom. Many would think HHH would win but the one person Vince McMahon respects and trusts above most is Undertaker(if you cross him then usually you lose your job) HHH wont lose his job of course but something will have to change. Undertaker sees SD as his brand and his boys, and if he isnt backed by McMahon expect him to take time off for injurys as a way to show his displeasure.
There already the thought that HHH wants payback for his loss at WM 17 and is pushing for HHH vs Undertaker at WM 25 to get his win over Undertaker.

 Trips done it now, he's gone and made a big mistake Honestly I think the Wrestlemania 17 thing might be a little far fetched but Trips has been acting totally unprofessional on camera and the whole "throwing shoots into his promo" is getting really old. I hope Taker does something about it. Trips is totally abusing his status with the company again and this time it's showing clear as day on Smackdown |

I think Taker is the one guy HHH might listen too, given how long hes been there. And letting Taker go wherever for an extended time is a bad business move. The dude is THE main attraction for the show.

Honestly I think the Wrestlemania 17 thing might be a little far fetched I agree, that's bullshit. HHH could have won that match if he wanted to, he decided to put Undertaker over. In fact, that whole report sounds like the typical anti-HHH bias/spin of intraweb "reporters". The thing that struck me most about HHH's "promo" was how heelish he came off. There were probably some mistakes made, but of course this gets blown up into OMG HHH emasculates talent! Taker's going to show him what for! Give me a break. |

I'm not going to jump on the anti Trips bandwagon. I'm just simply calling it from what I'm seeing on Smackdown. He's really acting like a douche and cutting down the talent like that almost makes him look either bitter or jealous. Definitely unprofessional and I understand that sometimes loser fans get such a kick out of shoot interviews but to me he totally takes the fun out of kayfabe. It's like he's going out there and being a dick simply just because he's having fun being a dick.

I'm not saying HHH is in the right here, it's just not the OMG big deal that report is making out: "there's a SHOWDOWN a'brewing" "HHH won't *lose his job*" "if Undertaker isn't backed by McMahon expect him to sulk!" "HHH wants payback!" It's blown out of all proportions. Just shitty writing clap-clap-clapclapclap. |

Oh I totally believe it was blown out of proportions. What I really believe happened going by what I read was MVP and Shelton were rightfully upset over Trips snarky "quote promo quote" as he like to put it and they went to the Undertaker since he was the only guy that was truly worth going to for advice and Undertaker simply agreed that Trips got carried away and it's probably squashed already unless we see more childish Trips interviews. But I definitely agree with you on the theatrics and dramatics these geeks are trying to add to it. To say that it's sparking a backstage showdown that's going to lead to Trips wanting to end Taker's streak to get payback from mania 17 sounds so ridiculously exaggerated. I agree Trips is wrong but why don't they just say, Triple H trying to fuck Michelle McCool! Stephanie and Undertaker form backstage bond. It's stupid when they take it so far

I do also feel that Triple H needs to keep the wise-cracking to a minimum.
It reminds me of WCW when Hall and Nash would come out and basically just piss about like they were talking at a bar and say what they wanted without considering the effects it would ultimately have. The things he was saying to Shelton and MVP did nothing to help the storyline going into the PPV, it just make them look like idiots.

But WCW had a level of unprofessionalism because that was their way of combating WWE. WWE is better than that and the heir to the throne goes out there every Friday Night and makes the company's stars look like chumps

WCW was just poorly run. To many people doing the booking job and not talking to each other. Then Russo came in and that was pretty much the end of things.

They actually changed their booking in the middle of some shows and when they went on the air they sometimes weren't even fully booked yet. That's why it was such a clusterfuck

They only did that during live Raws to try to make they're show better. Bischoff isn't as dumb as everyone pretends he is.

no he's not an idiot. I'm not even talking about the battle with Raw. I'm talking about in 99 - 00 when shit just REALLY started falling apart and they were getting shattered in the ratings after 2 years

If you get the chance man, buy and read The Death of WCW. It explains what a cluster fuck it was in WCW during those years. And its a book thats hard to put down. Anyways, I imagine a conversation went something like
Booker A: Hey Lex your going over Buff tonight.
Lex: Awesome!
Booker B: Hey Lex your getting pinned by La Parka tonight.
Lex: What?
Booker C: Who the hell is Lex Luger?
Really, it was that bad.

Yeah it was to the point where they didn't even know who was working for them and the bookers had no idea what eachother was doing. I'd definitely like to check that book out
