How many matches did they have with each other? I remember RVD having him beat. Michaels won the title in 2002 at Survivor Series but someone interfered? Something like that..

Just the one on RAW.

Triple H took that RAW off (this was the start of his massive never ending push with the WHC, he let Michaels win the belt for a month), I remember the tagline Jim Ross kept pushing "Can we have Raw without Triple H????"

This would have been a good feud but i dont thnk it would be the classic that many think it would be. To bad we never got the chance to find out.

When HBK came back I was looking forward to a match between these two. They had that one match which was posted, but they couldn't have done a program since both guys were babyfaces at that point.

I really think WWE missed the boat on RVD. They should have turned him heel around 2003. After the Alliance, he was a face for pretty much his entire tenure with WWE.

It never happened because rvd would have outclassed the Texas redneck booked hbk.
The clique never got consistently inring with guys who could have outclassed them consistently.
Unless they had politics to aid them in the calling and final booking.
They neutered or buried anyone who was lower on the drawing totem pole than them.
Before they were given an outlet to ramp up in draw in the wwe universe.

the clique works by guaging an opening encounter with the more talented worker.
To realistically see where they are in draw and fan perception.
When, they see realistically they can not compete with said talent.
They work to neuter said talent or form administrative coup's politically to protect their spot.

It has happened any and everywhere clique rules have been instilled.
Since, they got to learn from Scott hall with flair.
Then, hogun in wcw.
To which the braintrust was amalgamted and passed down and around between the clique contingent.


Anyone who knows the history of how the clique playbook arose can spot it a mile away.
Which if you di expose it,...
It is attacked via deflection and complete narcissism.

Yes in the Elimination Chamber, although it was more Triple H's fault, as he he moved after RVD jumped.
