The "curious" case of Triple K

[Silkk]

I do wish they could artificially insert some of that Vince-era chaos into things. Definitely need to have more situations where they dedicate a show to getting someone/something over with the hard-sell. It's a lessening artform these days, especially as the other company uses it ineffectively so often it's hard to remember it being done right.

That said... the times they work have worked. Bronson Reed in the span of a single show went from huskiest harris to Big Belly; First Of His Name in one show. They just seem to rarely do it. One of these days we need a show with a fukking protagonist and write it that way.

Post-Mania needs a 'Bron Breakker' episode of RAW. Have him get screwed out of the IC title, fukk up the midcard heels on his way out of that tier and then win the #1 contendership to the title later that night in dominant fashion as some getback. A single-episode ascension of someone; to hell with the rest of the card. Hunter be afraid to do that shyt because he trying to make people happy. fukk alldat. Vince woulda made a whole Austin Theory arc if they'd let him - old man feared nothing but the feds. Not saying go back to Vince's way but Hunter need a dash of that fukkery to balance his cooking.

I think THAT is more what's missing. Some freneticism. Chaos. Yes it's great that they clearly plan things ahead and put some thought into stuff weeks, months out and love to show their work. Callbacks are great; foreshadowing is a narrative device long underutilized in pro wrestling.

But sometimes a nikka just want some shyt to go left. And it isn't that current regime can't do it... it just seems to have dried the fukk up since Jermaine vanished from our TVs.

Jacob Fatu need to get him a Smackdown booked entirely around him bodybagging folk. He could carry that easy and it's about time.

I 100% agree with all this though.


Here is a great example (even though I hate the MF as a wrestler):






We can’t even get Omos on ANY TV. Not even NXT, Main Event, or Level Up

It’s crazy how people criticize Osmos for being too green, yet they fail to get how he can grow if he’s not provided with opportunities to improve his skills.

Is Triple H a racist? It’s possible

But I think the more pressing trait he has is that he’s always had the eagle eye in terms of knowing where his bread is buttered.

A person like that will compromise their own personal beliefs IF it gets them ahead. If he felt pushing black talent would put him in a better place in his career Bobby would be on a Lesnar run right now. He books us like this because in his mind it serves him no purpose other than a moral victory.

HHH the ultimate opportunist.

You think he has anything in common with HBK, Nash and Hall? No, but he found a way into the clique and it cemented him in the wrestling business. He may be MAGA, but HHH will be BLM if the wind blows that way.

But no matter where the wind blows he's not gonna push a black wrestler to the moon.

If h started booking NXT tomorrow he would put the NXT title, somehow, someway, on Johnny Gargano

Idk how I stopped getting notifications to my own thread lmao. Happy for the Street Profits (who this very thread was created around) but it's still some shyt to talk about

 

[MenacingMonk]

I know it wasn’t a clean win, but having Jade lose in her first match back by pinfall is

 

[NoMorePie]

"I don't see color"

Yeah right.

 

[Ripp]

I know it wasn’t a clean win, but having Jade lose in her first match back by pinfall is

Her first direct loss ever. When they lost the titles she wasn't pinned. So random loss on a smackdown. They could've easily had Liv and Raquel leave like they were doing and Naomi Sneak attack for the DQ.

It wouldn't effect liv and Raquel because its apart of their character, jade gets a W, Naomi gets a beat down. Its not that hard to protect all parties involved, especially heading into mania season. You wanna keep everyone on the card looking as good as possible

He probably had the face as he drove around X pac, Hall and Nash as they listened to Bone Thugs, Wu Tang, Westside connection and Nas. shyt idk about HBShizzle but I guess he was with it since he was in the whip with Sexy Red

Ol designated driver ass

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Some will say it was done to add more intrigue to Jade/Naomi but I can also see the argument that Hunter don't care about their W/L record because he's viewing it as "midcard"

I think there's better ways of getting more heat on Naomi than having Jade lose in a random SD! match but that's me...

Could be but I think he can easily say he's just playing into his character being in a slump.

It really made no sense for Jade to lose, and once again proves that they're just mishandling everyone. HHH is making really easy for people to consider jumping ship to AEW.

Seems like mostly everyone notable that would likely even so much as slightly consider it re-signed within the last year.
