10 Wrestling Promos WWE Regret
9. Triple H Tells The World That The Roster Sucks Sh*t, Again
He did it again!
In the exact same year!
People can get away with incredible hubris if they can back it up. Triple H's problem is that he never could, and he had a maddening habit of punching down to make himself look bigger. He was the smartest guy in the room, and the toughest, but the size of that room became smaller and smaller the longer he stood inside of it.
How big am I compared to this tiny room, he must have asked himself in a state of wonderment.
The stars - or the bodies, since Triple H had made quite sure they weren't stars in February - of Monday Night RAW went on strike on October 10. Hilariously, they did so in revolt against an unsafe working environment. They didn't know the f*cking half of it.
In an infuriating storyline that positioned "Voice of the Voiceless" CM Punk as a scab - the same CM Punk that annihilated the doofus 'Paul Levesque' in June and waged war with him in the summer - Punk, Triple H, CM Punk and Sheamus decided to go on with the show.
But, you see, Triple H didn't need those three!
"Get a broomstick in this ring," he said. "I'll wrestle a broomstick for two hours. Hell, I've wrestled a lot of the guys in that parking lot; the broomstick will give me a better match than most of 'em!"
This sort of bullsh*t, incredibly, wasn't conducive to building stars, and when the stars left, the fans left.
