So I was going to say that HHH probably should stop putting people over given it seems like more of a curse than a blessing in the long run...
Batista - left early, never the same
Benjamin - nowhere
Benoit - ...
Then I realized...forget all about that. *All of these guys wrestling last names start with the letter B*. Is it possible that only people with a B+ last name are under the HHH curse?
Have I blown the lid off of this conspiracy?
-J
So wait, when he's referring to Bryan as a "B+ player", it's really secret code for "I'm going to put you over and thus destroy your career in the long run"?
MIND BLOWN. Someone needs to make a Buzzfeed list about this right now!
WOW. That's a little weird.
ReplyDeleteThough was Shelton really "put over"?
As a collection of stories that we've heard in shoot interviews and read about in other books, it's cute to see the stories put to illustration. It definitely has it's charm, and at times you can sense and feel the troubles of daily life taking it's toll on Andre's body. still amazed WWE has never done a DVD set for his life and amazing story, whether the stories are true or not.
ReplyDeleteHe won with a roll up.But it was a good match.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Warrior destroy this argument as far as the B's go
ReplyDeleteReal name
ReplyDeleteJames Brian Hellwig(later Warrior),he has B in the name.
And yet Booker T still had a long and successful career. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteBecause Triple H didn't put him over.
ReplyDelete...................... :Scanners Head Explosion:.................
ReplyDeleteI know....maybe he was onto something there.
ReplyDeleteTriple H also put over The Brooklyn Brawler.
ReplyDelete"Those people" always have long careers
ReplyDeleteyea and he couldn't even buy a clean shirt ever since.
ReplyDeleteBy "those people" are you referring to champions of a dying company? That's what Triple H meant with that comment right?
ReplyDeleteI never got why the Brawler was a Yankees fan even though he was from Brooklyn. Logic says he should have been a Mets fan.
ReplyDeleteThe Mets play in Queens though.
ReplyDeleteIn his defense would YOU be a Mets fan?
ReplyDeleteTrue enough but as a general rule, people from The Bronx, Manhattan, and Jersey root for the Yankees. People from Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island root for the Mets.
ReplyDeleteAh touche.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Brock?
ReplyDeleteHe buried him.
ReplyDeleteTriple H also didn't put over Bubba Ray, and he's still working today. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
ReplyDeleteAlthough one could argue he works for TNA, thus his career is over, but it depends on your perspective I guess.
ReplyDeleteAh, didn't know that tidbit.
ReplyDeleteFIVE TIME FIVE TIME FIVE TIME FIVE TIME FIVE TIME champs obviously
ReplyDeleteSUCKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ReplyDeleteIt's time to rename some wrestlers:
ReplyDeleteBrusev, Russian bruiser
BCena, rappin' caveman
BSHeamus, lying Irishman
Didn't Shelton actually beat HHH twice? Even if it was with two roll-ups, that's far better than the "putting over" of Curtis Axel last year...
ReplyDeleteHeels root for the Yankees
ReplyDeleteWell at the time he debuted everyone in New York was a Mets fan. So there's that.
ReplyDeleteBooker
ReplyDeleteSo HHH was actually saving Booker by jobbing him?
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be first name or last name. Middle names don't count.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'd be better off eating the pin here.
ReplyDelete'Hey Pauly, remember those old NWA shows where the guy would beat the jobber with whatever move he felt like rather than waste his finish? Let's do that. Hit me with a vertical suplex'.
ReplyDeleteHHH never put over Shelton. He got a fluke victory after a distraction. Midcard 4 Life.
ReplyDeleteMets really do fit considering his rumored relationship with Patterson
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, if ever there was a situation for a curse theory, what about the 10x(a)-numbered WrestleManias? At all three, a smark favorite won the world title in the main event, and in some kind of three-way situation. Then life eventually turned to shit for them:
ReplyDeleteBret: Wins title at WM10, three years later, Montreal Screwjob, then etc. etc.
Benoit: Wins title at WM20, three years later (!), you know.
Bryan: Wins title at WM30, career-ending injury (not 3 years later, mind you...but should Brie make plans to move out before 2017 nonetheless?????)
That's because he's BUBBA TOUGH!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has a grain of charisma is a better put-over than Axel.
ReplyDeleteHe was also B for Black. beating HHH would've instantly killed him on the spot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he won two weeks in a row and then proceeded to do nothing of consequence outside of winning the IC Title and be a spot man in muli-man matches.
ReplyDeletePeople from Brooklyn are still pissed the Dodgers left. He should have been wearing a throwback.
ReplyDeleteBut he changed his name to... oh my god... RUN, BULLY!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, wait - the Mets are gay? Is that the implication?
ReplyDelete"Those people" always have long di-PLEASE STAND BY.
ReplyDeleteThat's always been the joke from opposing fans because of the Queens location. Easy target. Ditto San Francisco Giants.
ReplyDeleteA buddy of mine is really into comics, and recommended it to me. I'm not really into comics, and he said if I hated he'd buy it off me, and I had nothing to lose.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. If you like wrestling and comics, it's a no brainer. But even if you only like one of those 2, it's still a solid pick up.
MY DAD WAS MR. PERFECT! AND IM HERE TO WIN MATCHES AND WHAT NOT!
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to Cucch the nutcase anyway?
ReplyDeleteBig Show is still around. Triple H crushed him back in the McMahon-Helmsley Era.
ReplyDeleteConsidering their relative positions in the company, I'd say so. Benjamin wasn't a jobber before then but beating the company's biggest star (even with a roll-up) is pretty good. As a moment it certainly felt bigger than any of the times Jericho (for example) "put over" other wrestlers.
ReplyDeleteWhile the booking didn't make Benjamin look like a worldbeater, it felt pretty huge back when it happened and made people take notice of him.
ReplyDeleteHe did?
ReplyDeleteEugene BISCHOFF, anyone ??
ReplyDeleteHeh, when I bought it, I said to the guy behind the counter, "It's like two of my favourite things coming together."
ReplyDeleteTerra Ryzin lays down for the Booty Man...Brutus Beefcake starts a terror alert over his coke at his job in a Boston token booth.
ReplyDeleteShelton beat him again by count out, but it was about as decisive of a countdown as there can be, IIRC, and Shelton basically knocked him out against the ring post.
ReplyDeleteEvery Mets fan I've ever met in person is an asshole.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the curse of wrestling characters whose names start with an 'E'?
ReplyDeleteEddie Guerrero - died at 38
Eddie Gilbert - died at 33
Executioner - died at 40
Elizabeth - died at 42
Edge - career ended by injury
Evan Bourne - fired by WWE
Elijah Burke - fired by WWE
Erik Watts - yeah...
Eric Bischoff - infamous
Earl Hebner - involved in (and profited least from) infamous Montreal Screwjob
As I look over these lists, I think I've determined the cause of the curse to winding up broke, hurt, unemployed or dead at early age: Become a professional wrestler.
