>>12640496>Say whatever you want about how much you hate HHH and HBK. NOBODY could have replaced them. NOBODY.Absolute bullshit, HHH set out to undermine everybody else who was near the top of the card and make them look bad, the only guys he didn't do it to were guys he COULDN'T, like Brock, Angle, Taker who all got kept on Smackdown. Brock was being groomed as the companys new face and got moved to Smackdown just so HHH didn't have to job to him or look bad they took him off the a-show to keep HHH happy.
Test with long hair could have been a main event filler guy, the occasional shot or a 1-month transition run, with the right gimmick. Soon as he cut his hair and roided up he became a shitter.
Regal only was main event capable by 2008 KOTR and KWABd himself, sucks but no argument.
Christian had small pond syndrome in TNA but could also have been a transitional guy or B-show champion, if JBL could have a 9mth Smackdown title run Christian could have had something.
Jericho was 100% buried by HHH multiple times.
RVD could have been a main eventer, buried by HHH for injuring him.
Booker T could have been a main eventer, buried by HHH because ???
Steiner came in hurt & refused surgery like an idiot but HHH set out to expose & bury him, he was having decent matches with Jericho & a green as shit Batista at the same time.
Goldberg's aura was killed within 6 months by HHH. The guy only had 2 maybe 3 years mileage as a regular wrestler anyway but HHH made sure it was barely a year.
Benoit would've been better off staying on Smackdown. He did fine but got treated secondary to HHH's shit even as champion.
Even Orton got buried by HHH he had to turn heel and switch brand to recover.
Any of RVD, Jericho or Booker T could have been the guy to carry Raw (hell Jeff Hardy could have if he hadn't been a junkie), or Goldberg once he came in. But instead HHH with his 20 minute promos to kill any buzz at the start of a show were all we got for 2 and a half years.
