No, it wouldn't be hard at all. But, again, that's just as easily put on the shoulders of the writers as it is on HHH. Hell, HHH's essential character hasn't evolved in years, aside from the "no longer with Steph" fiction. If it were solely HHH doing this, I'd think it'd be in his best interest to keep himself from getting stale. I'd love to see HHH toss the belt aside and say he was above it. But, I don't think the writers are capable of doing it right, which is a shame.

Thinking you're above and beyond the belt?! Is that even POSSIBLE?! Isn't the belt supposed to be the significant proof that you're the best of the best?
I just had an interesting thought, and I hope it's not too off point although it does concern HHH--
If the WWE writers are insensitive enough to pull such angles as necrophilia and racism, what does it say about HHH since he didn't refuse to participate in them? What does THAT say about the other workers involved?
Then again... if WWE wasn't at such a lull in ratings and interest, they souldn't have to resort to this horsecrap, would they? The HHH character has FAILED since his return last year, and HHH's alleged World title run has FAILED. Why? He's boring. He doesn't make people look good. The result? No hard-money cold cash duckets in the WWE coffers. THAT'S why it's time for HHH to either get his game back or step aside and let someone do what he obviously CAN'T.
David Crockett sez it best, folks: "Look at 'im, Tony! Look at 'im!"
I agree and must add that Triple H has to do what he does in order to keep Raw afloat. Before Rock and Austin came back to Raw he was the man and no one else deserved the title apart from him. Now more competiton has come into it then Triple can possibly start to loose some ground. So to all you anti HHH people stop whinning and respect the guy for what he is doing for the company!

Originally posted by spf2119Hogan, do you seriously think that Booker T will be beating HHH for the title at any point in this angle? If not, then what is the point of the angle continuing if it is going to result in another failure for Booker T on a PPV? If you do think so...would you care to wager on that? Obviously no money involved, but I'm sure we could come up with something regarding sig quotes :)
I did until all this Nash talk. Let's work our "bet" out after one more RAW, at which point I may just apologize to the IWC for giving Trips the benefit of the doubt.
It still woulda been too much to put two world titles on two babyfaces during one show, IMO.

HHH is appearing at the box office in Worcester Saturday when Backlash tickets go on sale. It's my hope that some fans have the intestinal fortitude to speak their mind and tell him how boring he is. "HHH, why do you have to win all the time?" "HHH, would it have killed you to lose to Booker T?" "HHH, how did you survive getting dropped 30 feet in an upside down car and appear on TV the next week?" "HHH, who's better in bed, Steph, Chyna, or the mannequin?"
Well, what would YOU say to him??? Do you think he has any clue how people feel about him?

I'd say, "Can you believe the amazing heel heat you have on the Internet?"
The "heel" heat is becoming "go away. we're sick of you" heat. I call this "X-Pac" heat. Too bad HHH won't be able to distinguish this and proceed to congratulate himself on being such a great heel.

I would probably wait for 2 hours in the line with all of those questions and more in mind and when I finally got up to him I would say...
"Man, you are so awesome!!!!! I...uh..LOVED your match at Mania, man. Yeah, uh...yeah."
Actually, I did meet him once, back during his feud with Owen. He was really cool and friendly. I marked out like mad.
And you know if any of us DID have the intestinal fortitude to tell him off, he would find some way to make us look like a complete tool for doing it.
I'd probably be completely unable to speak, mesmerized by the fact that my frickin' head can fit into one of his biceps. People that size give me the creeps.
I'd ask him if he's worried about losing that mass and turning into some sort of saggy, floppy blob-thing.

I'd ask where I could get a good deal on some steroids.

Guys like Rocky and Austin don't NEED the belt to be over with the fans or to have convincing feuds... it's a nice thing to have for them, but they sure don't NEED it - HHH should be the same way.
Yo, it's me, it's me, it's (points to self) P-A-B!

Yes, all those compelling angles he was involved in, producing awesome matches and making people look like a million $$$.
Please. I'd argue that Jericho was *way* more entertaining than HHH was, and would be my Raw MVP going back over the last 6 months or so. Jericho was getting watchable matches out of Jeff Hardy (not easy to do), while HHH was injured and stayed out of matches for quite a bit.
So to all you anti HHH people stop whinning and respect the guy for what he is doing for the company!
Wow, just...wow.

RAW is afloat? It was my distinct impression that it was sinking like a cinderblock before the Rock came back, and it's on thin ice as it is.
He was the man before Rocky and Austin came back, yes. And look at all the wonderful things we got out of it. Necrophilia, squash matches and homoerotic promos with Shawn Michaels.
You'd think with ratings steadily declining, WWE would at least put someone new in the top slot just to see what happens, but apparently that's too much common sense to ask for.
If Triple H is carrying RAW, he's carrying it straight down to fucking hell.
I'll stop "whinning" and respect Triple H if he does the right thing for the fans and the company by letting someone new have just a piece of the spotlight.
The reason everyone hates on the guy is because he's always there, squashing people and holding on to the title. I don't mind seeing him on RAW. I guarantee that if he dropped the title and shared the spotlight (with someone BESIDES Rock or Austin, thank you) a lot of people would stop bitching. I would.
Triple H bashing is getting old because HE is getting old.

Um, to blame the necrophilia angle on HHH is stretching things by alot. I can't see Trips saying "Hey Steph, I got a great idea for an angle.......yeah, so I'm in a coffin and there's this body and...." and Steph thinking "My future husband wants to fuck a corpse in a Kane mask on national tv....." then saying "Yeah that's a great idea I'll pass it on to dad and the writing team." The blame for that goes to the writing team and Vince, not HHH. IMO Kane should have never been in a main event angle, he really has a limited character that has been pushed to it's potential. The only Raw talent that should have been used to fued with HHH at the time was Y2J and Booker T, other than that Raw had a bunch of mid-carders.
