Ok, is it just me.....

............. or since HHH turned into the permanent legend face in 06, every one of his big feuds/matches, e.g. Orton, Cena, Undertaker, Brock, etc... have involved nearly identical creative processes just reharshed over and over again?

I've always been a fan of HHH, i think his involvement with Stephanie has always given him a distorted rep, and blinded people from what he's offered and more importantly given back the business. He's not quite Chris Jericho who trumps all here, but in terms of creative input into his own and other wrestlers characters he's been such a valuable asset to WWE....... but as i've just watched Brock dislocate Michael's shoulder joint, i found myself realising EVERY SINGLE STEP along this feud i managed to predict. The Heyman element, Stephanie being referenced, HBK getting destroyed, HHH baiting Lesnar by playing the ego card (oops, it was Heyman who got baited and Stephanie who baited him, i stand corrected ). I predicted every single one of these things coming up along the way because they're simple reharshes of all his recent confrontations.

And he can't use the boxing style of promotion (i.e. deliabrate lack of storyline like Rock vs Cena) as an excuse, because these are all progressive story hook points he keeps recycling.

Am i just looking at this too closely as usual, or has the writing surrounding HHH to last couple of years been this lazy?

His feud when he returned from his knee injury to challenge Jericho for the undisputed title is still one of my favs...even though it was a bit predictable

Predictability isn't always bad. Sometimes you just look forward to the heel getting their just desserts, in that feud you referenced the following night when Stephanie got fired was memorable for that reason.

I've always had a soft spot for his feud with Batista, aswell as the whole disillusion of evolution angle. And they say HHH doesn't put people over

Yeah

He also did it for Orton too, making him the youngest champion. Orton still holds that record huh?

Evolution was something special as well. Had everything. Flair from Flair, HHH as the general and Batista has this powerhouse recking machine and Orton has the golden boy in the making

He does still hold the record. Still one of my favourite wrestling moments that

The HHH-Orton relationship is very rare in wrestling these days. Where one wrestlers mentality is so visably shaped by the others actions, and we got to see all of it on-screen.

It's obvious there a 2 or ppl who are intimidated by your depth. The 1 stars are an obvious expression of inferiority complex. 5 from me psych.
