Here is an interest fact that JR noted in the Ross Report. HHH has never won a match at Survivor Series. Does anyone know what he's gained from booking himself this way? My guess is that he's attempting to devalue the Survivor Series by making it appear that this particular PPV isn't worth his effort to squash people.
1995 - (Undertaker, Savio Vega, HOG & Fatu v. King Mabel, HHH, Jerry Lawler & Issac "Kane" Yankem) - UT pins HHH en route to routing his entire team. HHH was the last one pin.
1996 - (Marc Mero, Jake Roberts, Rocky Maivia & Barry Windham v. HHH, Jerry Lawler, Crush & Goldust) - Mero pins HHH (then IC Champ) in the middle portion. Also notable in that Rock faced HHH in his debut.
1997 & 1998 - HHH did not appear. In '97 for no real good reason, and in '98 because of a knee injury. He was scheduled to face the Rock in 98, though.
1999 - Pinned by the Big Show, who won the World Title as a result. The Rock was also in the match, and Big Show was replacing an injured Steve Austin.
2000 - HHH and Austin go to a no-decision after Austin dumps HHH's car off a forklift, or something else equally stupid. Was a total non-finish.
2001 - Injured.
2002 - Pins Chris Jericho, Booker T, Rob Van Dam and Kane. Then he gives Michaels and Kevin Nash a hug and reforms the clique.
So HHH has either been injured or been involved in putting somebody over in Survivor Series each year since 1996. Maybe this is just the PPV he CAN'T win at. I don't know. Interesting stuff though.
Edit...Beat me to it, joe...

Since everyone else is doing it (ok, not EVERYONE, but...)
Vikings (2-7) - I don't know. I didn't see it. Just saw that we lost. Badgers (6-5) - Slipping into mediocrity six weeks in a row. Buffy 7... Earns Pi x 2 points...Uh...Not really sure what I'm supposed to thing...That was one friggin' weird episode...
Well he wasn't on last year because he was hurt. The year before he did that horrible car dropping job which he no-sold. The year before that was pre-Steph so it doesn't count :)
"1995 - (Undertaker, Savio Vega, HOG & Fatu v. King Mabel, HHH, Jerry Lawler & Issac "Kane" Yankem) - UT pins HHH en route to routing his entire team. HHH was the last one pin."
GOT THE JOB BACK from Taker seven years later at Insurrextion 2002, and again on Raw the night after SummerSlam.
"1996 - (Marc Mero, Jake Roberts, Rocky Maivia & Barry Windham v. HHH, Jerry Lawler, Crush & Goldust) - Mero pins HHH (then IC Champ) in the middle portion. Also notable in that Rock faced HHH in his debut."
GOT THE JOB BACK from Mero on Raw about a month later, beating him cleanly to retain the I-C Title.
"1997 & 1998 - HHH did not appear. In '97 for no real good reason, and in '98 because of a knee injury. He was scheduled to face the Rock in 98, though."
1997-Had to drive Shawn's getaway car(he was in on the Montreal screwjob, you see). 1998-Got out of jobbing to Rock; forfeited the I-C Title a few months earlier without being pinned(darn those knee injuries...).
"1999 - Pinned by the Big Show, who won the World Title as a result. The Rock was also in the match, and Big Show was replacing an injured Steve Austin."
Had the excuse of not being prepared for Big Show, and also Vince hit him with a chair prior to Show's match-winning chokeslam. Regained the title from Show on Raw in January 2000 fairly cleanly(low blow and Pedigree, sound familiar?).
"2000 - HHH and Austin go to a no-decision after Austin dumps HHH's car off a forklift, or something else equally stupid. Was a total non-finish."
Gets out of jobbing to Austin, beats Austin the next time they fight on PPV(No Way Out 2001).
"2001 - Injured."
Well, he needed time for his DRAMATIC COMEBACK FROM INJURY and regaining of the title that he last held in June 2000(and was never pinned for, of course).
Originally posted by FurryHippieI'm assuming that part of that last post was just joking, othewise people are looking really hard for ways to hate HHH lately.
My God I hope you are right (and I think you probably are).

I've been thinking for a good long time now that Jericho should be using his Kawada-ish jumping enziguiri as a finisher. It's fast, it looks great, it's easy for the opponent to sell (fall down! Play dead!)
