The first sign of the apocolypse

http://www.wwe.com/inside/triple-h-new-mane-26050205
HHH cut his hair.
It is truly the end times.
(Now it makes all those hair jokes from your 2003 rants even funnier).
- Joe

His hair was in pretty rough shape anyway.  Now Kevin Nash still knows how to maintain and condition, even at 70.  By the way, their image link was done wrong, so here's the picture:



You sold out, HHH.  I expect this sort of thing from Edge, but not you.  Not you.

  1. His power has been vanquished! Vanilla midgets and mid-carders rejoice! The long reign of terror is over! All hail Brutus the Barber Beefcake!

  2. Looks like he'll be Terra Ryzin some barbers from now on.

  3. It's hard to sit in investor's meetings with Prince Valiant's haircut.

    He looks good. Maybe even a little younger.

  4. Sorry for the threadjack, but very interesting ratings numbers.  

    Hour 1 had 4.31 million. 
    Hour 2 with the promised Punk/Sheamus match had 4.40 million.
    Hour 3 with the promised Cena main event had 3.91 million.

  5. Jesus Christ, now I know why he kept his so long.

    THAT NOSE IS HUGE!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Now everyone else will have to grow their hair long. 

    ReplyDelete
  7. Yawn, let me know when HBK cuts his hair.   (Will he ever?)

    Hunter's looking rather Val Venis-like.

    Do fans hang out at Titan Tower's entrance just waiting for photo ops?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I was already having  "nothing makes sense in the world" kind of day already. This is not helping

    ReplyDelete
  9. HBK should just buzz it all off like Andre Agassi.

    ReplyDelete
  10. People had no way of knowing that Punk/Sheamus would start the second hour.

    Maybe people were just sticking around long enough to see the end of the Daniel Bryan/Kane interaction...

    ReplyDelete
  11. So..... once the fans were told Punk was leaving, they tuned out? Makes sense to me! 

    ReplyDelete
  12. You would think that if WWE.com was going to post this story, they would use a better, more exclusive picture than the one TMZ got a hold of.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The Nineties are truly dead. RIP.

    ReplyDelete
  14. It makes you appreciate a guy like Bret Hart who had ugly long hair at the best of times and still holds onto it today.

    ReplyDelete
  15. HBK should have cut it short at the first sign of thinning, then he might have a regular head of hair today. All he can do is accept his eventual Paul Heyman or buzz it off Bruce Willis style.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Although you can't see it in the picture, the link said he still has his arm in a cast.  So kudos for selling the injury.

    Hopefully he's not going to the same doctor as "Cowboy" Bob Orton.  

    ReplyDelete
  17. He's starting to even LOOK like Vince now.

    ReplyDelete
  18.  I was just gonna say, that's not just any cut, that's a damn MCMAHON cut

    ReplyDelete
  19.  Well he is Canadian.  I'm a little shocked he's not rocking a mullet. 

    ReplyDelete
  20. I couldn't even picture Shawn with short hair.

    Is that Steph in the pic with him? She looks good. And yeah, HHH does kinda look like Val Venis. Not a bad look though, I always thought he should have cut his hair during the Reign of Terror, makes him look more heelish, IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Am I the only one partly disgusted, partly unsurprised that the WWE website posted this news blurb as the 'BREAKING NEWS! FRONT PAGE TOP STORY!' this afternoon? I mean Cheez-Its, it's absolutely asinine to treat a man's trip to the barber shop as a big deal. Edge chopped his locks off and it didn't even cause a ruffle. Triple H chops it off and we're doing breaking news reports? What a stupid ass company; if they put as much energy into their WRESTLING PROGRAM as they did their fixation on Terra Ryzin's hair, they might not suck so much ass.

    (Rant Over.) (For Now.)

    ReplyDelete
  22.  Settle down....it's a 'slow news day'.   Websites like wwe.com change their front page content at least once a day, it's not always easy to find new stuff to put.

    And it probably took some web developer all of 10 minutes to slap that on the front page.

    ReplyDelete
  23.  Not sure if you're joking or not, but that's just a couple of random fans, neither of which is Steph. 

    ReplyDelete
  24. holy fuck, same thought/

    ReplyDelete
  25. Pretty much every wrestling fan on the internet overreacts to everything but you take it to a whole new level. Congrats.


    ReplyDelete
  26. Now he looks less like Sean Bean playing Boromir and more like Sean Bean playing Alec Trevelyan.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I like how you guys are cherry-picking the things you personally like (or don't like) to support your theory.

    Instead of blaming Cena for the drop-off, I'd personally blame it that immediately prior to the main event we got Santino Marella and his puppet, Ryder vs. Slater for the Jobberweight Championship, and Vickie yelling at CRAZY AJ.   I'll grant you that Cena vs. ADR is a pretty stale matchup and and there may not have been much interest in seeing it again....but you also have to admit that the segments leading up to it were horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Better this than another wrestler dying young.

    ReplyDelete
  29.  LIEK OMG JUSTIN BIEBER NEW HAIRCUT?!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I shall wear it with a badge of honor, good sir.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Judging by the reactions here (the Land of the Smarkiest Smarks that ever Smarked), this is indeed a "wow" moment.

    Your point would have more validity if this thread had 3 comments. People care.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yes, this one week that the ratings breakdown look promising for CM Punk, we'll decide to analyze it and take it as gospel.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think HHH's new haircut is awful. He should have gone for something with a little more length. 

    ReplyDelete
  34. I give him some credit for this.  It's a good way to definitively close the wrestler chapter of Triple H's career.  Now I really don't expect him to ever throw himself onto the main roster again.  Not that I'd be floored if it happened, but this really does give the impression that he's moving on.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is terrible.  I hope someone had the foresight to send his hair to Antarctica.  If not, by now its slowly moving from indy show to indy show consuming vanilla midgets as it gains in size.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Came here just to post this. All he needs is a powder blue blazer and khakis.

    Or maybe a leather jacket with RAW plastered all over it

    ReplyDelete
  37. ..and yet he still doesn't know how to properly line up his beard.

    ReplyDelete
  38. In his book he said he'd never cut his hair. He needs to bite the bullet, call Chavo or Matt Morgan and ask who their hook up is at Hair Club for men.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Shawn, or Triple H?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Simon Dean needs to grow his hair out if he ever hopes to make it to TV.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Trips doesn't look too bad. Matt Dillon looks rough though. Very gaunt. Like he has AIDs or something. And Stephanie is either shorter than she looks on TV or standing a step below them.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yeah, his transformation to a McMahon is indeed complete. Who else anywhere wears their hair like that? Only person I can think of is Scott Caan on "Entourage," and I suppose his more famous dad when he was younger.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I really have nothing to say, I just wanted to get a thread where a bunch of grown men talk about another grown man's haircut up to 50 comments. Seemed like a valuable way to spend a minute!

    JK yall.

    ReplyDelete
  44. HHH's new haircut is all headkicks and no-selling.. plus only 12 people saw it.. so it doesn't count..

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yes, he's clearly closed the book on a storied chapter in his life and career, accepted and come to terms with his destiny and bridged a gap to the second half of his life... by cutting his hair.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Bobby Roode - Trendsetter.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Really, dude? Let it go.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Well, we're bi-something, and it definitely isn't lingual.

    ReplyDelete
  49.  Easy there, champ.. Just because I don't think it's a 5 Star haircut doesn't mean that I don't love THIS BUSINESS~!

    ReplyDelete
  50.  I can't be the only one who caught this reference. KOTR, I think? I forget which year though.

    ReplyDelete
  51. This is the darkest day in the history of our sport.

    Will Raw be a 3-hour tribute to Hunter's hair? Will Steph compare its loss to the Federal government pursuing her dad? And will HHH's barnet go into the Hall of Fame?

    Tune in on Monday to find out!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Happened during a Ken Shamrock/Rock match...

    ReplyDelete
  53. Someone post a Youtube link, this sounds hilarious. 

    ReplyDelete
  54. My thoughts exactly. He looks more and more like The Big Valbowski with each passing year.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Maybe HHH is a fan of Bawbee ROOOOOOOOOOOOO

    ReplyDelete
  56. So, you know how people used to talk about Vince having an odd relationship with Steph (Exhibit A: the RAW where she almost 'marries' HHH again)...?

    ...yeah, this new look makes me uncomfortable...

    ReplyDelete
  57. Wasted opportunity for a Hair Vs Hair match. You've missed a trick there Hunter

    ReplyDelete
  58.  Well, he couldn't have done it with Lesnar.  Brock has a haircut that screams "I don't give a fuck about haircuts." 

    Actually, a beard vs beard match would have worked.  Brock grows one of the manliest beards I've ever seen.

    ReplyDelete
  59. This made me laugh.

  60. Now all that's left is to learn how to powerwalk like a McMahon.

    ReplyDelete
  61. http://nodq.com/wwe/348944822.shtml

    Apparently HHH and Vince have some tension over HHH's role. HHH feels he's better as a heel, while Vince wants him to stay a face.

    I'll laugh my ass off if this all leads to HHH forcing Vince out of power like Vince did to his father.

  62. The Love-Matic Grandpa!September 6, 2012 at 10:11 AM

    He looks like the villain in a "direct-to-DVD" action flick.

    ReplyDelete
  63. HHH is right, he is awful as a face.

    ReplyDelete
  64. It's interesting that he looks a lot more like vince.

    ReplyDelete
  65. That haircut is good for "the business".

    ReplyDelete
  66. The photo was set up by WWE.  They're not real fans.

    ReplyDelete
  67. That's what you're supposed to think.  It's an angle, see.  People will be like "Holy shit, HHH can't come back and fight Brock now, HE CUT HIS HAIR!"  And they'll make millions.  

    ReplyDelete
  68. Shawn should do the same, though it will ultimately reveal his thinness/baldness more.  However, he just won't look as silly.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Looks like his hair when he did that god awful Shane/Vince DX impression a few years back with Shawn. 

    ReplyDelete
  70. They're just telling stories. And that story is "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street".

  72. Funny stuff. That would never happen today, with all the commentary dictated through the headset. Not exactly PG either.

    ReplyDelete
  73.  Eh, Punk has said some pretty risque stuff on commentary and gotten away with it.  It's well, not exactly subtle, but he's not beating you over the head with the joke.

    ReplyDelete
  74.  If HHH was casting himself as a Biblical figure, I don't think he'd settle on Samson. Pretty sure he'd be the guy on the cross.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Eighty three comments about a middle aged man's haircut.

    We're a pretty happening bunch.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Or maybe by the third hour, most fans started thinking to themselves, "Why am I watching this shit?"  then changed the channel.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Which means he'll have to get into a motorcycle accident............................... too much?

    ReplyDelete
  78.  And what is wrong with a mullet? Business in the front, PARTY in the back!!! It gave Billy Ray Cyrus a career! :-)
