Edge is the new WWE Champion

<< < (7/9) > >>

Trauma-san:
^ You're being irrational.  First, of course HHH said he's going to win.  I understand what you're saying, but his entire character is and has always been very arrogant.  Every wrestler says they're going to win. 

Second, of course Vince is going to let HHH have the belt whenever he wants it.  He's his son.  They're probably very close.  That's just how it's going to be.

Third, HHH has actually been away from the belt and the spotlight a very long time.  He's jobbed to several wrestlers since then, which is rare for him.  He's jobbed more since marrying Steph than he did before that.  Just a couple weeks ago he jobbed to Ric Flair, didn't he?  And before that to Batista several times, and he gets punked on television all the time by Flair or the Big Show.  I think HHH is running pretty good angles right now, he's got some decent feuds going.  Given his status with the company, it's just a foregone conclusion though that he's going to be champ frequently, I think he's done a good job of staying away from the belt, myself.

The WWE has done a great job of pushing the younger guys in the last few years, as well.  Cena came out of nowhere to be champ.  Edge was elevated to main event status, and given the belt.  Batista came out of nowhere to be champ.  Before him Lesnar was champ (a few years ago).  Guerrero was champ (although he wasn't young of course).  They've done an excellent job of spreading the title around, and also letting guys like Batista and Cena keep the belts for several months to help build the credibility of the belt back up.  AS A MATTER OF FACT, HHH lost the belt more often than these new guys have!  Batista has had the belt for several several months, and HHH had spells where he did as well, but there was also a period about two years ago when HHH traded the belt back and forth with Hogan and Michaels if I remember correctly. 

I think they're doing a pretty good job, actually.

My humble opinion, HHH and Kurt Angle are the only two guys right now worth holding a World Title. I would love to see Angle hold his title for over a year, and HHH win the title are Wrestlemania, and hold that title until Wrestlemania 23, when they face each other in a unification match, to see who is truly the greatest wrestler of this generation. It'd be the new Flair/Steamboat, if Michaels ever fought Sting, it'd be the biggest stage for the two best WRESTLERS in WWE today. Vince would be wise to have that match, hold the title on each to build how strong each person is, and let them go on the biggest stage to see who is the best.

As for Edge winning the title, I think it's good. I think he deserves it, and his wrestling career backs that up. It's a matter of having the image of a champion. He reminds me of HHH when he won it in 1999. No one thought he was a good champ, hell, they reunited D-X as hells because he needed to have back up to be seen as at least a coward cheating champ. Then the marriage angle, and HHH hit gold. Edge is in a better position, and he can actually have people cheering FOR Cena. His a good heel, and should keep the title until Wrestlemania when HHH takes it, or if HHH wants to wait to become champ, I'm fine with that.

ever since the first time  HHH won the championship ive always thought he was great he was even my favorite wrestler for a while but now his gimmick is getting way to old and boring

Before his serious leg injury, HHH was almost on the same level as Angle.
