This just in, Triple H beats a younger, talent who was on a hot streak. OH MY
GOD, WHO SAW THAT COMING !!!!!
That was SHIT !!!! Absolute shit !!!!
All the Cena haters can rejoice. Instead of months of emotion with crowds
cheering and booing we now get to look forward to years of buriels as Triple H
puts all those young talents in their place and makes them pay for every trying
to succed in wrestling.
Cena was made to look a bitch in the match so lets all blame Cena for Triple H
winning the title again.
God, Im just so fucked off with wrestling at the moment. Unlike certain people
here who say they wont watch wrestling or whatever, Im done with it now.
They've turned the clock back nearly 6 years now.

People can say what they want, but HHH is the obvious choice. He's the most

guy, but it's true.)
Posted By: Crow (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Trips sucks. Can't wrestle, never could. I wish he'd hurry up and get his 20

only watch TNA cause it's you know, good.

Amazing, now that He's got the belt HHH is the IWC bad guy again. when everybody
was praying for him to come back and handle Cena.
Come on, it's not like HHH holds belts for very long. He'll want to lose it at
least 5 more times so he can out world title reign Ric Flair.

At the show and it was good. Glad to see MVP loose, but cant believe HBK wins.
Cena looks like a chump...maybe he will turn full time actor and forget the
fans like the ROCK. Edge/Undertaker another classic. Would have like to see
Punk use his MOB title tonight. Over all glad I made the show, it was worth a
sickday.
Posted By: Jay (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:17 PM
just remember folks....the HHH'S will be taking a bit of time off in a few
months...so the question is who takes it off him...if they get rid of the
spinner we know it wont be Cena
Posted By: Guest#4285 (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:17 PM
OK...SO CAN WE NOW CHANGE THE WWE BELT ALREADY????!! THE SPINNER BELT
SUCKS!!!!!!! (it doesnt actually spin now but still it is the exact same stupid
looking belt! It looks like a toy!!!!)
Posted By: deeno (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Good for triple H's win ;)
I think the story line of triple H and Cena will happen after backlash and will
continue to Summerslam
Triple H vs Cena for summerslam

Can we now be rid of the non-spinning spinning belt? Please!!
Posted By: Methoes (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:18 PM
The only thing I can hope is that they CHANGE the spinner belt back to the
original belt or create a NEW WWE Championship belt. That belt looks silly on
trips. Also I really hope HHH gets put out of action permanently so he doesn't
break Flairs record. NO ONE deserves to break that record.
Posted By: natedoggcata (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Hopefully they will finally get rid of that shit belt becauuse it doesnt suit
Aiches charachter
Posted By: Deano (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Does thie mean now that its going to be Triple H vs JBL at Judgement Day? Either
that or an Orton rematch, but based on Orton kicking Cena, I'd guess it will be
Orton and Cena at JD and Tripls against JBL.
Posted By: FDuk200k (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:24 PM
I never saw Cena winning tonight and really would have liked to see JBL take it.
HHH with the belt over Cena and Orton - fine by me.

Top Pops of the night
1/ Taker
2/ Matt Hardy

Those three are the most OVER guys in the whole fed BAR NONE IMO
Posted By: MonsterMax (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:24 PM
I will repeat what a few others have said. PLEASE GET RID OF THAT GOD AWFUL WWE
CHAMPIONSHIP BELT. That thing is a disgrace and I just dont see HHH agreeing to
carry that thing around. Seriously, the world heavyweight title is more
important the last few years on belt design alone. That thing is HORRID.
Posted By: future (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:25 PM
So, if Cena wins, most of you are pissed. If HHH wins, most of you are pissed.
If Orton retains, those of you who would be pissed are happy.....for now. See,
the same people who get pissed about Cena and Trips, would've been bithching
and whining that Orton has had the title too long. You're the same one's who
thought he didn't deserve it when he won the title at Summerslam. So, the boss'
son in law one the title. Does it really matter that he fell in love with the
gutter slut? Come to think of it, HHH held the title for a couple hours last
Oct. Does anybody when he held a heavyweight tilte prior to then? Unless my
memory is shot, the last time HHH held a title was Jan 2002. That's THREE YEARS
AGO folks. So, he gets a title win, and, now he's holding Orton back? Come on,
give a break! If HHH comes to the ring on Raw tomorrow night with a new belt,
you will all LOVE him again! We pretty much knew, with the whole "age of
Orton" promos, and the "I'm leaving with my title tonight" crap
that Orton was dropping the title tonight anyway. Look at it this way, most of
you seem to hate Cena, JBL is, well....old and broken down, so, who does that
leave? It's not like HHH will hold the belt forever. He'll lose it to someone
before Summerslam. I've never been one to give two shits about title holders
myself. I what wrestling for the entertainment. As long as what I'm seeing
entertains me, it's all good. So, all you haters should just shut the hell up,
and enjoy the show....or just stop watching.

well, i've been saying i want a new face with the wwe title for a long time, now
triple h gets the belt which i'm not a fan of. BUT, what i would like to see is
triple h get a legitamite title reign,i mean he gets what he wants anyways, but
after he has his long reign, i would like to see CM punk cash in his mitb case
and beat H FAIR AND SQUARE so we won't have to see the same ol' people hold the
belt
Posted By: cj (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:28 PM
I haven't been a fan of HHH in years but he has to be better than the BLAH
champ, Orton, he's missing something, man.
Until WWE finds itself their next big stars, what other choice is there?...
HBK?
we, as wrestling fans, are screwed the next few years. HHH better stop
stealing gimmicks & go back to the badass he used to be!

Yes, get rid of that toy. NOW.
Posted By: JJ (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:28 PM
The Divas match sucked, but not because of the workers (well, except Ashley) but
by it's very design. There are women I like in there, but trying to shoehorn 12
people into a regular tag match was a recipe for failure
Posted By: Greeby (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:28 PM
So, who does Taker feud with now? He's made Edge look like a bitch 2 PPVs
straight. If Edge uses Vicky to get a third shot and doesn't win it, he'll look
like the king of bitches. Plus, what new is there to see when they've already
had matches at 2 straight PPVs? I guess MVP or Batista will be moving up? But
it seems like Batista will have unfinished business with HBK.
Posted By: Exodus (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:30 PM
If CM SUCKS deserves anything is to do the JOB CLEAN to The King Of Kings .
He is not worth lacing his boots anyway
ALL HAIL KING HHH !!!!! NEW WWE CHAMPION AFTER MORE THAN THREE DAMN YEARS
WITHOUT THE SAID TITLE !!!!!
Posted By: MonsterMax (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Nobody you have no idea what you are talking about. Are you forgetting that HHH
lost the title to Batista in 2005!! and then won the title again in October
2007. Even though it was for like 3 hours, he still won.
Posted By: natedoggcata (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:31 PM
The main problem with the WWE is it's ALWAYS the same 5 guys on top. It's ENOUGH
already. HHH is champion. Yeah, he's great, that's FINE. Haven't seen THAT
before. And for those who want to compare: at least Flair with all his title
reigns had a LARGE VARIETY of opponents that challenged him and he never had to
completely bury them (or an entire tag team division) either.
Posted By: Non Plussed (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Overall- a pretty decent show despite how it looked on paper.
MVP & Matt were great once again however IMO they've had better matches.
Show & Khali could've been worse.
Batista & Michaels could've been better.
Kane & Chavo was better than I expected.
Taker & Edge once again tore the house down.
But the main event stole the show, the beginning was a bit sloppy but once
JBL & Cena were out of there, Orton & H were pure gold-awesome finish.
I'm not too big on H winning the belt and killing Orton's momentum but I guess
the E wanted to shake things up a bit especially after several weeks of
disappointing RAW ratings.
A good ppv overall, but worth 40 bucks- I'm not too sure.
Posted By: The GT Shaman (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:32 PM
To natedoggcata:
Sorry about that typo. Yes, it was Jan 2005, wrong year, correct math. The
point there was, HHH hasn't held a title (other than for a couple hours) for
three years. Thank you no less for pointing out my incorrect year.
Posted By: Nobody (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:35 PM
whether u like it or not, you're tuning in tomorrow no matter what because there
is a new champ, and the seeds to the next feud will be set

To everyone bitching about the main event:
Orton held the title for over 6 months which makes it the 2nd longest heel WWE
title run of the post-Attitude era. He also beat both Cena and Hunter at
Wrestlemania which no one saw coming. But he loses one match to Triple H and
suddenly now he's buried? Triple H hasn't had a title reign in over 3 years
(I'm not counting his 2-hour 'reign' at No Mercy) and he's been putting guys
over left and right. How many other wrestlers have jobbed cleanly at 4
Wrestlemanias in a row? He finally wins a title match and everyone goes back to
whining about him 'holding down younger guys'. Do any of you even stop and think
before you start the anti-Triple H rants?
Posted By: Bob (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:41 PM

So much for the Age of Orton. With a great title like that, Orton should have
gotten a longer reign.
Posted By: Buck I (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:45 PM
Bleh. HHH as champion again. Alas, family ties mean he'll probably get it
another dozen times before he retires. :(
Pity about Big Show vs. Khali. They really should've done them as a tag team,
give them the belts, utterly crush the tag division. To eventually get the belt
off of them have some Cocky Young Smartass (or perhaps a Cunning Heel) goad
Khali (who seems to have little patience or self-control, at least on the mic)
into accepting a match where they can lose the match by disqualification (much
to Big Show's dismay, of course). And, of course, Khali would be the one to
shove the ref once too often or some other DQ-worthy act, to cost them the belt
at a PPV 6 months to a year after they gained it. Heck, it could even be an
excuse to modify his character (ie, he realizes his temper is the problem and
starts to learn self-control) to make him a credible threat instead of a Giant
Joke barely a step above El Gigante.
Posted By: The Ogre (Guest) on April 27, 2008 at 11:47 PM
With that win, not only is HHH a 12 time world champion, he has now tied The

"So, if Cena wins, most of you are pissed. If HHH wins, most of you are

If Orton retains, those of you who would be pissed are happy.....for now"
that is chapter one, verse one of the Gospel of The IWC in a nut shell.
"The IWC will never be happy, regardless of how many times they get their
way."
or, more succinctly...
"The IWC ain't happy unless it is bitching"

I was at the show, and Id say to was ALMOST as good as wrestlemania. During the
big show-khali match I had a sign that read "I paid $87 for this
crap" and some asshole security took my sign, which really pissed me off
cause there was no vuglar but yet people had signs that read suck it and were
allowed to have them, but overall good stuff at backlash, i may file a
complanit with the baltimore arena
Posted By: edwin (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Ordered it out of boredom with my friend Chris. Here's our star ratings for the
night.
Matt Hardy vs MVP
Mike - I was pulling for MVP but hopefully the loss means that he's moving onto
better things. ***
Chris - He was pulling for Hardy to win the whole match but when he won, Chris
was actually disapointed that MVP's title reign was over. ***1/4
Chavo Guerrero vs Kane
Mike: It wasn't good and it never really tried to be. *
Chris: Chris left the room when the bell rang and walked back in for the
finish. Apparently he had seen enough to know that it was a DUD. When I asked
if he was joking he shot me a serious look and asked if he looked like a liar.
DUD
Big Show vs The Great Khali
Mike: It was as good as it could have been. I wasn't offended and that's all I
can ask for. It had a decent crowd too. For what it was, *1/4.
Chris: Originally Chris gave it ****3/4 and began arguing why it was a MOTYC.
I talked him down a 1/2* and realised he wasn't the most credible source for
star ratings.
Batista vs Shawn Michaels
Mike: It was solid, but not as good as I was expecting. Hopefully this angle
is from over. ***
Chris: Chris was on the same wave legnth as me for this one and gained a little
credibility back after he was finished fantasy booking a Khali vs Big Daddy V 3
Stages Of Hell match. ***1/4
WE ORDERED PAPA ROMANOS PIZZA.
Mike: After a 40 minute wait, the pizza arrived and was delicious. Perhaps if
it had arrived earlier I wouldn't have been as hungry and wouldn't have enjoyed
it as much. Excentuate the positives, hide the negatives. Papa Romanos booked
the delivery good with a few false finishes and some good psychology on
pepperoni placement. A hot crowd made this ***1/4
Chris: "Overcooked clusterfuck, DUD."
12 Diva Tag Match
Mike: I enjoyed the little overbooked ending. It was alot better then I
thought. **
Chris: DUD
Edge vs The Undertaker
Mike: It started slow but built nicely. ****
Chris: Back on track with his ratings now, Chris gave it ***3/4.
JBL vs Orton vs HHH vs Cena
Mike: I was suprised that Cena/Orton wasn't the final two but I liked that. I
figured there'd be two quick eliminations since they did a long four man
portion of the match. The slow spot in the middle knocked it down a bit for me
though and I'm not a big fan of HHH as raw champ. It was a good main even
though. ***1/2
Chris: Chris, like me, was hoping for Orton to win but loved the match. ***3/4
OVERALL:
Mike: 7 / 10
Chris: 7.5 / 10
My fiancee was sick so I sent her our star ratings. I'm not tired yet so I
figured I'd post them so that you guys would have two more opinions on the
show. Good night.

complain that will get thrown out as soon as its skimmed.
Posted By: natedoggcata (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 12:35 AM
There is no money in HHH as a babyface champion. Who does he have to feud with.
It will be HHH just destroying every heel on the roster and it will not equal
to PPV buys or ratings. He is better as a heel....period.
Posted By: Willie D (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 12:38 AM
There is only one King of Kings. And the IWC as a whole had better remember

Posted By: Scott (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 12:47 AM
Wow! Darth Mortis with a good truthful post. Nice!
IWC is never fucking happy. Benoit finally gets the belt, Scott Keith cums on
himself, but the ratings turn to shit and everyone complains. HHH has the
title, everybody complains. Cena holds the title for over a year, everyone
complains. Orton uses chinlocks, everyone complains. Jeff Hardy doesn't win the
title and proves weeks later he doesn't deserve it, and everyone complains!
That's why those of you who take this shit more seriously than you should
deserve swift kicks to the balls.
Posted By: Brad B (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 12:56 AM
It's ok, HHH will only hold the title for a month or so (until Edge shows up)
Don't cry kids. Orton's a prick, Mick Foley is still God, and we all miss

"Edwin you honestly have no idea why your sign was taken away? Have fun

Doesn't make much sense to me either...does WWE not want people to know how
much money people spend on tickets? Are their egos so frail that a sign like
that can't be tolerated? Did it hurt Kahli's feelings? Really...WWF used to be
all about "freedom of expression" in the Monday Night Wars when WCW
was reportedly making people take off WWF shirts, and now they're doing the
same thing.
On a related note, a guy with a sign that said "JR Sweats BBQ Sauce"
got that taken away as well...too bad you can't express yourself anymore at
wrestling shows.
Posted By: KX (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 01:24 AM
WOW! a night of the pay-per-view and opinions fly every which way & we have
DARTH MORTIS & BRAD B bashing the IWC, guess what, cupcakes, you're part of
it so take your holier than thou bullshit, above it all nonsense, shine it up
nice and stick it up your candy asses!
If you're so above it, why do you comment? the only other possible reason
would be to prove something to yourselves. The fact you read and comment &
see yourself as above and beyond the IWC makes you 2 idiots, but I'm guessing
you'ree the same guy.
that or you 2 should move to Vermont, adopt a child & never watch
wrestling again.
Posted By: Turnstyle (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 01:30 AM
Stop telling people to stop complaining, you fucking hypocrites. You're
complaining about complaining, you're essentially saying "you're not
allowed to voice your opinions". Fuck off you elitist twats, just because
you think you're so much better than the rest of the IWC despite being a
fucking part of it doesn't give you the right to tell other people to stop
expressing their opinions.
Posted By: m8 (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 01:31 AM
For those of you wondering when they're going to put the belt back on Cena:
probably around the time "12 Rounds" is released, so Entertainment
Weekly and the talk show can call him "WWE Champion John Cena" when
he shills the film.
Posted By: That Don Guy (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 01:40 AM
Triple H hasn't had a legit title reign since 2005. Everyone always points out
how he didn't put over guys like RVD and Booker T in 02 and 03. GET OVER IT.
Both of those guys suck, end of story. We saw how great a Booker T title reign
was in 2006, and RVD is complete garbage. Only Extremely Crappy Wrestling blind
marks would think of him as a legit World Champion. Now since then, he has
jobbed to Chris Benoit and tapped cleanly to him, and then went on to tap
cleanly all over the country to him at every house show imaginable in 2004. He
then jobs to Batista clean on 3 straight PPV's including a Hell in a Cell Match
(which he never loses). He also tapped cleanly to John Cena. Exactly what do you
want the man to do? And whatever moron said Triple H sucks as a worker needs his
head examined. The guy has been bringing the goods for the past decade. So he
didn't job to the pot smoking Rob Van Dam in 2002. GET OVER IT. RVD isn't THAT
good, sorry ECW fans, he just isn't. So he didn't job to Booker T, whose resume
got inflated in the horrible WCW in 2000-2001. Again, get over it. Booker has
always been an average worker. It's just the truth. Or maybe it's Scott Steiner
that you were mad about. YEAH, HE'S a winner. Just a bunch of cryers.

So much for The Age of Orton. Goes to show that the 'E still isn't ready to
accept anyone 'new' holding the title for any kind of longer time. HHH has it
now, I think before summer is over Cena will get it back - and it'll be at
least six months before anyone else will get it. What's the worst is that
during their respective reigns HHH and Cena will beat just about every
half-credible challenger into oblivion, leaving the 'E with no one who could
carry the belt.
Cena - HHH at Mania.

Not as good as last year's Backlash, and probably the weakest WWE pay-per-view
this year so far, but it certainly had its moments. Matt Hardy finally winning
the US title, for one. And now, although it will never be mentioned because WWE
lazily never separate the World titles into individual reigns, Triple H has now
equalled The Rock's record of seven WWE Championships.
Posted By: T.G. Corke (Registered) on April 28, 2008 at 04:36 AM
To all the people that don't get the hate for HHH keep this in mind. First yes
he has not had a real Title run in a while however that has to do with him
getting hurt more than anything so don't bring up that augment when the only
reason he hasn't had it is do to him getting hurt. Also I would love for
someone to come up with a list of guys who have feuded with HHH who came out
looking BETTER for it over the last ten years. What would that number be 5 at
best? Compare that to the UT who people always complain doesn't Job enough but
guys almost always come out looking better because they feuded with him. That
also doesn't get into his refusal to go to smackdown which has been rumored for
a while now.
Oh and to Brian (Guest) You left out Chris Jericho in your little rant but I
guess he sucks too or is overrated right? To Booker T and RVD you can have your
opinion on them as workers and such but both guys where WHITE HOT back then and
HHH is seen as the guy that put a stop to it. Also you have the rumors that a
Big Reason, other than the drug testing, that Booker was un happy with the WWE
was because he was having to deal with HHH. HHH is also the reason why a lot of
people feel Jericho left as well.
I always find it odd that people complain about CENA being superman yet when
HHH does it they are mum about it. Which is odd because I can’t think of a
match where a guy looked worse because he was in the ring with CENA. Yet when
HHH does it he pretty well squashes any push or crowd heat a guy has.
All of that said I don’t mind HHH being champ at the moment but if they are not
going to do the HHH vs. CENA feud yet then who does he feud with?
Posted By: Truthslayer (Registered) on April 28, 2008 at 05:06 AM
Very average PPV. Hardy/MVP was solid and the 2 world title matches were good
but the rest of the show was more like Backwash. You know shits bad when guys
like Jericho, Punk, Regal, U-manga, Finlay,Kennedy etc. can't even get a match.
HBK/Batista was disappointing considering the carry-jobs Shawns pulled out over
the years. Overall 5/10, glad this was on free in the UK - anyone who paid to
see this has a right to be pissed, shame coz WWE put out some good PPV's
recently.

I find it funny how people are complaining about the IWC...ON A WRESTLING

Mortis, who does exactly what he bashes people for - he complains too. All he

to see Matt Hardy grow more. He is a great entertainer but it seems like his
wrestling skills go downhill...but at least the ERA OF MATTITUDE is back!
Posted By: TetseDah (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 07:13 AM
Turnstyle & m8: what's the matter? Did I touch a nerve?
Just because I read wrestling sites and post comments doesn't make me a typical
member of the IWC. I don't fantasy book. I don't use insider terminology (which
makes you all look like fucking idiots, by the way). And I certainly don't
point the finger at the same people over & over again when things suck
(Russo sucks! Vince is an idiot!).
And I didn't say you don't have a right to complain. But IWC members find a way
to complain about fucking everything! Nothing makes you people happy and it's
nauseating. Am I happy with wrestling all the time? No. But I keep watching
because I get enjoyment out of it and try to find something positive. For some
reason, IWC members are only happy when they're complaining, wishing for things
to happen that never will, and waiting for the one day that Vince calls them up
and wants your *SNICKER* expert opinion to bring storylines to unheard of
levels.
But keeping thinking you can group all of us together just because we watch the
same thing.

Posted By: Colin (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 08:32 AM
Well, taking the title away from Orton was about the only thing to do. After
all, Raw's Championship promos of late have been a yawn fest. With the
exception of Orton Marks, I find it hard to believe that anyone is displeased
with HHH as the champion. He's been back for quite a while now, and yet has 2
hours of title reign to his credit during that span. He's been jobbing to
people left and right, and as to who he ut over, didn't he job to Orton to give
him the strap? Not to mention Batista, Cena and others. As to why JBL was in
this match, I think it was to give the match a different feel than WM24, but
still have all that top level talent in the ring. JBL should not be competing
for world titles in his condition, and the fact that they gave him that push is
ridiculous.
Big Show/ Khali made me sick. Of all the "big man" matches to have,
why does Khali have to be put into situations where mediocre in ring performers
have to carry him? Why can't he just learn how to perform? I know he's deaf, but
sheesh. It's not THAT hard to take bumps unless he's just plain fragile.
Kane vs Chavo was a predictable bust. Chave just lacks something as a champion,
and if CM punk is going to win any title, I hope he takes the strap from Kane.
Much as I like Kane, he just doesn't do it for me as a world champion either,
even the Extremely Crappy Wrestling champ.
As much as I mark out for the Undertaker, I hope he retires sooner than later.
His match quality from his end is deteriorating a bit, and it seems that Edge
and batista are carrying the matches more and more. Undertaker's matches go
kinda like this: Right hands, throw to the turnbuckle, right hands, attempted
"Old School" (failed), big boot, toss to the outside, apron elbow,
apron boot, apron leg drop. Then More rights, "Old School",
chokeslam, and tombstone/Go Go Plata.
What I'd really like to see is some more variety from him. Maybe the wristlock
slam, and go back with the TCB attempt, or even something new. The Undertaker
used to be exciting to watch. Now he's just an entrance and 3 or 4 "brand
name" moves.
Still a great match there, though. Kudos to both Taker and Edge.

Yes trip is only 4 title reins behind flair now as much as it is fun to bash

Brian, you're making an ass out of yourself. WWE is feeding us reasons to
complain. They make terrible boking decisions, and everything's based on
politics. If we're not happy with any of the possible choices for a title, then
isn't that Vince's fault?

like i said,i may not be a fan, but i do want H to get a legitamite title run.
what i want to see is for the wwe to build up there young stars, cm punk, matt
and jeff when he comes back, or kennedy, just a new face to get into the main
event picture

Brad B I get what you're saying. Good point.
Whether HHH or Cena or Orton has the belt doesn't really mean much to me. My
only concern is the WWE's inability to build up enough credible contenders to
give HHH a successful title reign. Hopefully CM Punk will turn in his MITB to
challenge for the belt or Jeff Hardy will return to fight him for it.

Guys Like Triple H make people mark out!
Everytime he enters an arena he's gets one of the biggest pops, often getting
more positive and Total reaction than Cena!
He's a great wrestler and is one of the most over guys in WWE! besides after
the ages of Orton and Cena I'll be happy to hear a champion get cheered by 90
percent of the audience.

As soon as Triple H starts geeting that monk's hair like Hogan.Then he truly
will be HHH - Hogan Has Happened Part II

my take of backlash
MVP hardy match
well maybe one more match for these 2 and hardy mvp will be put to rest I like
the way both guys still look strong in the end although I see no use in having
this fude go further
even though it is the ECW title Kane gets to keep some gold of his own maybe
this will lead to some great matches for Kane
big show well what can I say put show over and that is about it
batista and HBK just bring HBK over both guys can make this fude really fun
hope it goes on maybe lots of big bumps and some funny stuff just don't have it
be jaricho stay involved
six women tag no good for me just puts the strong ones over and makes the
weaker look weaker some ok wrestling though
this match impressed me due to the fact I was sure edge would win by pulling
more of his BS to get the title this could evolve into a good fude just keep
edge from pulling BS and lets enjoy it
and orton loses the title should make for a good fude also put JBL and cena as
fude could come in as a good filler and give some good matches and alaught of
ways this story can go
I feel that WWE if they keep at what they set in action last night we have some
good wrestleing comeing in the next month or maybe longer we will see
match of the night batista HBK
trash of the night 6 women match
over all rating for the show 7.5 out of 10

Wow Vintage Undertaker and 3xH are the world champs...it's as if the attitude
era never ended 7 years ago!

I hate HBK, he hardly jobs anymore. When's the last time he jobbed, to Kennedy
a while back?? Once in the last 2 years?
Posted By: Fred (Guest) on April 28, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Does anyone truly believe if HHH wasn't involved with the owner's daughter, he
would have had more than two title runs?
And, to whomever said HHH is close to Flair in number of World title wins -
don't even go there. You cannot compare what it took to be champion in Flair's
prime to what it takes now. HHH could end up with 50 title reigns and not equal
what Flair accomplished.

WAAAAHHHH!!!!!

I didn't think it made much sense to take the Title off of Orton. He was doing a
great job. But I guess that DUMB SHIT HHH needed another run.

JJ, you illiterate dipshit, if you read the header to the site, it says 'pop
culture since '96"
wrestling encompasses 1/7th of the sites content, not including the forums.
stop posting now. you are just embarrassing yourself.

Sounds like the name of a new reality show.
