7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Jan 25)

6. A Matter Of Respect

You have to give Triple H his props. For as bad and Stephanie and Vince McMahon have been as heel authority figures, Triple H has been able to salvage this angle somewhat upon his return. For example, Hunter€™s comment about how WWE is his religion and Vince is God actually resonated well when he talked about Roman Reigns€™ lack of respect. Triple H made Roman out to be a disrespectful punk who didn€™t deserve the world championship, and that€™s why he took the title. Hunter is world champ not because he has to be, but because he wants to be. Yes, that€™s an extremely arrogant reason, but it makes you hate the character and want to see him get his comeuppance. That€™s known as €œheat,€ exactly what this kind of match should have. It€™s a shame that Vince and Stephanie can€™t figure this sort of thing out. After all, the McMahons invented professional wrestling, correct?
