*hops in a conversation about 2000s WWE*

AHEM, HHH DID A GOOD THING HALF A DECADE AFTER THE 2000s!

The conversation was the possibility of Batista coming back and doing something with Triple H. In the last 5 years, Triple H has had more good matches with people, and many of them losses, than he did in the early 2000s.

"It'll be a HHH-style match," doesn't mean anything, or in the least, not what you want to convey it does.

A "HHH-style match" isn't a complaint about him burying people or being lovely, it's referring to his long-preferred style of slow, dramatic, 30 minute main event match where you lie around and sell most of the time. Guys who are supposed to be superhuman beasts like Roman and Batista look like dog poo poo in those matches.

All those non-main event HHH matches you listed were good, and HHH vs Batista goofing off for 12 minutes in the middle of a Wrestlemania today would be fine, but when those two were full-time main eventers they were boring as hell.

Rollins and Triple H was boring way too long and I don't remember the crowd being into it at all until the very end.

Other than Steph eating a spear, the only big spot in HHH/Roman was the "plow the barricade" thing that we've seen a million times. Only you could see it coming a mile away and they just laid there forever after it. That's the problem with an "HHH match."

He's doing more than working on it - he's outright speaking against it. And as for 'unpleasant things about lgbt people' all I could find was:


It's a silly question all things considered but there's nothing in there unpleasant about anyone. He was coming from a place of wanting people accepted no matter what. Some took offense to him saying 'perfectly fine to be transgender' but he didn't mean it in the sense that transgender people aren't judged, ostracized, murdered etc for being transgender I have to imagine he was just looking at the outpour of acceptance for Jenner and things like that and wondering why that kind of support couldn't be shown for everyone. He was coming from a good place and trying to spark discussion about acceptance but as usual it got twisted into whatever context people wanted to read it in - despite it basically being just the current week in a series that is basically 'shower thoughts with terry crews'.

Wait, did Crews do that too or did the source mix him up with Mike Colter?

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Sorry to go back to Batista, and sorry if this is the wrong place to put it:

Why does WWE not want anything to do with him? He wants to come back, he is a tall musclyman, he has the 'mainstream' fame they cream over. He was friends with HHH, (at least on screen). Fans like him.

I can understand them being embarrassed about their mistake thinking that GotG would be poo poo and a flop and so missing the boat on that. But why are they still against bringing him back?

You see that a lot with actresses her age in Hollywood unfortunately. If you're not an academy award winner or someone mega popular it gets harder and harder to land good roles against women that are half your age - and now that we've seen more about how Hollywood works (that we all suspected) it's not surprising that some actresses although talented have to take what is out there for them. She probably 'aged out' of being 'desirable for roles' even though she still looks great at 42. Her most widely known roles were between 2000-2005 when she was almost half her current age. Her IMDB shows she's still very busy but other than some TV roles on shows like Maron and Law and Order I haven't really even heard of much of it.

He's still friends with HHH, and with Vince, but he also has no problem saying "HHH and Vince make loving dumb decisions and keep doing dumb poo poo" which is not the appropriate way to kiss rear end, brother
