  • @TheSchaef47
    @TheSchaef47 3 года назад +607

    What I love about this video is that it demonstrates how Triple H spent a career using his clout to develop talent around him. Whether by gathering minions only to turn on them when they get too good (Orton, Batista) or just going hard after them (Benoit, Bryan), the fact that he's so hated and sets himself up as an obstacle to these guys, elevates their status when they eventually beat him down and step over his crumpled, crying body.
    It's a very clever development tool and seeing the through line of his career plucked out of the web of the whole soap opera, kind of brings it into sharp relief.
    : edit: and yes, I know it doesn't seem like a big realization five years later when he is literally the VP of Talent Development.

      dude the B+ thing on Danial Bryan was THE PUSH he needed to become a bonafide WWE star. because a small technical wrestler in WWE never become major events, they always die in the mid card. Triple H being the "autorithy" against Bryan and making his life hell. Making him lost belts right after winning was the fuel for the Yes movement.

      Roman Reigns is a newer character in this chapter. He used to be in this awesome special ops group with a basket case with a collection of leather jackets and a blonde streak of hair that likes injuring people. Roman is also a cousin of a famous actor who smiles a lot and raises his eyebrows. Nowadays, Roman is being given opportunities for championships to the point that people actually start cheering for Cena.

      Bray Wyatt's the best character in the company right now. Former backwater cult-leader who became a demented Television host inside his own pocket dimension who shares his subconscious with a demonic presence and has also trapped his previous cult-leader alter-ego's soul in a lantern........

      @@nixaikobruh Because nobody is impressed that the failure son of John Landis, despite only writing one movie that wasn't a giant bomb, has a bunch of semi-famous connections. If you're too young to know John Landis, he directed some of the biggest cult hits of 70s and 80s, which made insane money despite have low budgets for production, as well as a couple blockbuster movies like Animal House, Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf In London, Trading Places, Three Amigos, Coming to America, and as a bonus also directed the most successful music video ever, Thriller - Michael Jackson.
      Anybody over age 35-40 will know and be able to quote every single one of those movies. Even though Landis ended his career with huge box office bombs, he's still worth close to a quarter billion, enough to buy his son some friends.

      Unless my memory failed me, the Undertaker won the first time with Hell's Gate outta nowhere and then went to the hospital from the beating he took from Triple H before winning. Triple H felt like the Undertaker lucked out by catching him off guard for the submission, and he would have won had it not been for that one mistake because the Undertaker was in such bad shape at that point of the match.

    The girl as HHH is absolutely phenomenal here and it annoys me that I don't see her face in movies every week... but the girl as Rick Flair? BEST thing in this whole fucking awesome perfect video.

      She's the ex that made the allegations that Hardwick was abusive a year ago. AMC temporarily let him go till it all turned out to be bullshit.

    He actually used the play girl magazine with Shawn Michaels. It’s funny they bring that up a lot still today. He always says “nobody told me it had a mostly male audience until after.”
