triple h is worse than vince

nxt says otherwise.

 

[serenewarfare]

Sure. But when Russo was booking Vince has the final say too. Doesn’t mean Russo’s fingerprints weren’t all over it.

Vince was way, way less of a maniac about having his hands in everything then. He's only got more controlling as time has gone on.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Is that literally the only finish Jinder matches have?

"if it ain't broke, don't fix it" must be the logic.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Guys just hail the MAHARAJAH.

 

[FallingEdge]

Joey Samoey going to eat this pin.

 

[TimeEffect]

like i said, only the tag team matches were low key best

 

[Sparkedglory]

I don't think the problem is Nakamura losing, but the way he lost is just kind of...what? A distraction and one khallas (or however it's spelled) did that match even go past 20 mins?

Edit: and I thought the audience would boo, they're just depressed.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

What the fuck? THIS IS ALL VINCE

This is an audience of one situation and has been for a long time.

That explains the VAST difference between NXT and this bullshit. Vince has way less input there

This is all for that India tour.

 

[Toki767]

This main event, no matter how awesome it is, isn't going to save this event.

 

[The Silver]

He'd have booked Nak to win....so that he could beat him for the title at Wrestlemania.

Current Mr.Hs is a jobber to the stars though.

 

[Rhaknar]

Help for someone who isn't around a TV. How did the match end?

exactly the same as the Orton matches.

 

[Ithil]

H E A T

Why get babyfaces over when you can get H E A T

That heat sounded awfully like dead silence.

 

[styl3s]

Looks like i can continue to not watch Smackdown which saves me 2 hours a week.

Now let's hope Roman wins so RAW can get better.

 

[RecRoulette]

There are like a million great ways for the 4 way to finish. So I expect this match to end with Brock winning in the dullest way possible.

 

[Majukun]

So outside interference in direct view of the ref is OK now?

same thing i wondered too

 

[The Strokes]

Help for someone who isn't around a TV. How did the match end?

Singh bros interfere, Jinder botches his finisher, 1, 2, 3.

 

[Shadow Broker]

I missed the end of the match! I need to back track to see who won

 

[Kurt Angle]

bye Bork

; ;

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

He's so much less part of it than you think. Vince is the micromanager to end all micromanagers. He makes a vast, vast majority of the decisions.

The shows have felt radically different through history depending on who McMahon is working with. From Russo in the 90s to when Heyman has smsckdown, etc. People only pull the “it’s all Vince” card to defend HHH, who’s been the vp of creative for 4-5 of the worst years in company history.

 

[Darrenf]

Horrible finish to a boring match.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Please dear god just let Braun or Joe win this.

 

[theBmZ]

Bad match with same finish we've seen several times already. Fucking bullshit. Getting sick of Jinder. It's not fucking working. He boring as shit.

 

[Dio Brando]

He'd have booked Nak to win....so that he could beat him for the title at Wrestlemania.

trips at least can put up an entertaining match.

 

[blackaroni]

Nak shouldn't have even been in the match.


I'd be happy with anyone but Lesnar winning this...But I feel like Brock is winning.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Help for someone who isn't around a TV. How did the match end?

Singh run in, followed by Jinder finisher

 

[Rockandrollclown]

I just want to see the belt back on someone who actually shows up at every ppv. Roman would be a massive improvement.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

It's not just India, man. Jinder has received so much national coverage in his native Canada too. The guy has become the biggest star in the nation.

Jinder will get huge pops next time they do a Canadian show with the Smackdown roster. Canadians love Canadians. We still hold a grudge for HBK and the Screwjob turns 20 in November.

 

[Brinbe]

This is all for that India tour.

The one that doesn't exist? lmao

 

[darkside31337]

I hope Roman wins. Dude is the best out of the 4

 

[Professor Beef]

Joey Samoey going to eat

duh

 

[PROh1bited]

Sure. But when Russo was booking Vince has the final say too. Doesn’t mean Russo’s fingerprints weren’t all over it.

Yeah, but H has final say in NXT, and that's a day and night difference between the events this weekend.

 

[Fat4all]

Singh bros interfere, Jinder botches his finisher, 1, 2, 3.

classsic wcw

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The one that doesn't exist? lmao

Yeah this.

What Indian tour?

 

[Violence Jack]

Singh bros interfere, Jinder botches his finisher, 1, 2, 3.

Wow. Vince must love that India viewer numbers.

 

[ambar_hitman]

I don't think the problem is Nakamura losing, but the way he lost is just kind of...what? A distraction and one khallas (or however it's spelled) did that match even go past 20 mins?

Edit: and I thought the audience would boo, they're just depressed.

I am in the audience. Everyone was legit shocked.

 

[Majukun]

isn't lesnar booked for wwe dates after summerslam? dosn't this mean that he retains?

 

[Kusagari]

Also this is the problem when you have a heel champ that wins like this and a show run by face general mangers.

Why the fuck do Shane and DB let the Singh Brothers even into the arena at this point? All they do is cheat for Jinder every match.

 

[Skatterd]

I just want Brock to lose tbh.

 

[serenewarfare]

The shows have felt radically different through history depending on who McMahon is working with. From Russo in the 90s to when Heyman has smsckdown, etc. People only pull the “it’s all Vince” card to defend HHH, who’s been the vp of creative for 4-5 of the worst years in company history.

Yeah, I'm sure NXT is a gigantic fluke and Triple H is actually just a living embodiment of the "no idea what I'm doing" meme.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Would like to Samoa Joe or Braun win. Wouldn't mind seeing my boy Roman take it. Anyone but Bork.

 

[The Strokes]

Does wwe even know if the experiment is working in India?

 

[Ithil]

I missed the end of the match! I need to back track to see who won

Literally the exact same finish to all his previous WWE title matches.

 

[Shadow Broker]

Seriously who won the last match? I cant make out the last page

 

[Bronx-Man]

That heat sounded awfully like dead silence.

You don't understand

Millions are pissed off and dissapointed

Therefore they're doing great

That's the point of wrestling, pissing off your fans until your ratings drop into the mid-1's

 

[Rhaknar]

Yeah this.

What Indian tour?

there is none. Some people want to believe there is to justify this Jinder push.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Seriously who won the last match? I cant make out the last page

Jinder

 

[Wendel Clark]

Samosa Joe gonna win for the India tour

 

[Sparkedglory]

I am in the audience. Everyone was legit shocked.

It looked that way with the crowd reactions.

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Yeah, but H has final say in NXT, and that's a day and night difference between the events this weekend.

NXT is a shot made for internet fans with zero concern over ratings and audience.

HHH is a bodybuilder and you know that’s what he thinks a prime time USA network wrestling show needs.

 

[darkside31337]

Also this is the problem when you have a heel champ that wins like this and a show run by face general mangers.

Why the fuck do Shane and DB let the Singh Brothers even into the arena at this point? All they do is cheat for Jinder every match.

Its really stupid too because DB has gone out of his way to punish Ellsworth etc but has zero problems with the same garbage every match with the Singh brothers
