Here's Something For Ya

For those who saw last night's pay per view...



It just dawned on me this morning. Doesn't Triple H feel a little bit foolish? I mean, he's so hellbent on clinging and clutching to HIS *ahem* "World Heavyweight Championship." Doesn't he understand that this is a title that was CREATED for him to run around with and play "Ric Flair" with? (And before anyone says that title is linked to the old WCW Championship, I can tell you now, it's not.) The real championship gold happens to be over on the SmackDown! brand, around the waist of one John Bradshaw Layfield (not that he's much better, but at least he can make me laugh). In case Mr. Levesque has been living in his fantasy wrestling world too long, the "other title" happens to be THE WWE Championship. The one that's passed through the hands of men like Sammartino, Graham, Backlund, Hogan, Bret, HBK, Stone Cold, The Rock, Foley, Angle, and Guerrero. The one that dates back to the beginnings of the World Wide Wrestling Federation, back in 1963. This, my fellow viewers, is the TRUE championship.

It's funny how Hunter makes such a big deal over his little prop title. It's just something for Trips to wear so he can call himself a champion, because the real title's on the blue brand. Let's face it people, even though wrestlers like Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels and Goldberg have all had their turn with it, the sad reality of it all is this: at the end of the day, all they're doing is keeping the damn thing warm for the almighty GAAAAA-ME-UHH!! until he wants his worthless hunk of tin back. Until someone gets a real chance with that title - and I mean a REAL chance, not just a few months here and there until the big baby wants his toy back - then that so-called "World Heavyweight Championship" means about as much as Ted DiBiase's "Million Dollar Belt" did back in the day.

And right about now, even that belt has more meaning.

Well that's funny, because if you read the bit of text on the title history:

Prior to Sept. 2, 2002, WWE recognized only one World Champion, and that champion represented both RAW and SmackDown! Just after SummerSlam, however, champion Brock Lesnar inked a deal to become exclusive to SmackDown!, leaving RAW without a champion. RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff then declared that since Lesnar had left for SmackDown!, that RAW needed its own champion. So with that, he opened a briefcase and pulled out the old WCW Championship and gave it to Triple H, naming him the first World Heavyweight Champion. Since that time, greats such as Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit have staked claim to the prestigious championship.

So, looks to me like it has some link to the old WCW title.

The physical belt only. I could yank out the old WWWF North American Championship belt and call it the Joe's Bar and Grill Championship. That doesn't mean Ted DiBiase and Pat Patterson are former Joe's Bar and Grill Champions.

Hm. Point. But I will still always think of it as the old WCW Championship, making HHH the inferior champion. Unfortunately, that leaves JBL as the only viable champion if we were to render the World Championship null and void.

I'm not keen on either champion.

Personally, I wish Batista had won the title, and I have a feeling we'll see him asking HHH for a title shot tonight on Raw since he "did the right thing".

Oh, I don't render the RAW Championship null and void. I just wish they'd stop kidding themselves by calling it the "World Heavyweight Championship." A title that was created just to pacify Stephanie's hubby is hardly worthy of world title status. I'd say the only three titles out there that should be recognized as true world titles are the WWE Championship, the NWA World Championship, and the IWGP Championship. Hunter's belt is fool's gold. Bottom line.

I'd have to agree with you on the titles that should be recognized as true world titles. I'd love for someone like Benoit to go over to Japan and win the IGWP title, only to come back to Raw and rub it in HHH's face. "This, THIS is what we like to call a real world championship! Not your puny "RAW Championship'."

But we know Vince would never go for something like that.

Hell I'd even take JBL doing that at this point. JBL could ride into RAW one evening, hold up the WWE Championship, and declare it the TRUE World Title. He could go over the history and its prestige and such, while rubbing it all in Hunter's face. Seriously, I have to wonder: does it burn Hunter to know that he hasn't had a real world title in almost three years? Or does his pretend belt make him THAT proud?

The WWE Championship is the most prestigious title in all of pro sports. And Hunter doesn't have it. That makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm smiling knowing that as well.

I don't know about you but I am tired of seeing Triple H champion all of the time. I thought Batista should of won yesterday. I think he deserves it. He has a great character and if he won he would get a bigger fan base.

Sadly, the sooner we realize this "title" is just Triple H's toy, the better we'll be able to deal with it.

Unfortunately, HHH will soon realize that everyone knows his title is just a prop for him and probably make WWE unify the titles so he can be the real WWE champ and not a written in one.

Don't you dare call him Mister Lévesque. It is now Lévesque-McMahon!

Maybe we can just name it "Triple H's EGO BOOST belt" and create something new the rest of us can all hope others can get.

Finally, somebody who acknowledges the truth.

People seem to forget this little fact.

The problem is it could be a worth wild title if they let different people hold the title. Like, the title history has been HHH, Shawn Michaels, HHH, Goldberg, HHH, Chris Benoit, Randy Orton, HHH, HHH. The thing with the elimination chamber that bothered me, is that I was thinking they would never do that because they would never be that dumb to take the title from HHH then give it back to him.

It would have made sense to go with anyone on the card. Well, guys like Jericho and Batista maybe not as much, because they weren't put over as much as Benoit, Edge and Orton(not to say Batista wasn't made to look dominant up to the pay per view, but before he was put in the elimination chamber I mean. I would have loved to have seen it on Edge. Then you could put Edge with Shawn Michaels for the Heavyweight Title, or even Benoit and Orton.

Giving it to Batista would have been a bad idea because right now, he's Triple H's boy. That's why I didn't like Randy Orton's title reign. They gave it to Triple H's right hand man.It's like giving the Intercontinental Title to Tyson Tomko when Tyson works for Christian. If Batista cost Triple H the title, that would have been a great rivalry going into Wrestlemania, and it didn't need the title.

In order to make the Heavyweight Title a worthy title like the WWE Championship is to have longer reigns with different people and not give it to Triple H.It's like there's no need for spoiler warnings on the internet and on this community, because everyone knows that Triple H is gonna win.

Let's run down the many versions of Triple H:

1) Blue Blood Snob-jobber matches and rivilary with Godwin Brothers
2) DX Triple H-So far, the coolest version. Until he starts banging the bosses daughter and marries her in real life.

Thus leads to the new Triple H or the one I like to call
3) MAJOR DOUCHE BAG-Now that he is married to Vince's little girl, of course he'll keep the belt longer, get the main events, and thrity minute promos that no one gives a shit about!

funny how moving up in the world makes you an asshole
