UK wrestling magazine compares Triple H to Hitler

[weaselboy]

UK wrestling magazine Fighting Spirit (which RD has a column in) actually published an article where they compared Triple H's "crimes" to that of Adolf Hitler.

The "article" which included images of Triple H often alongside famous images of Hitler (oh and for some dumb reasons images from the Matrix too) attempted to argue how Triple H's tactics and politicing were simmilair to those used by Hitler, only acheiving different end results.

Whilst Hitlers underhanded ploys resulted in the deaths of millions of innocent people, caused a World War which resulted in even more death and destruction and created an unstable environment that we still feel the effects of today, Triple H's manipulating caused Rob Van Dams world title push to be halted and sat in on production meetings.

Yes the sense of perspective in this article was very much redundant. I'll admit I've not been particularly fond of Triple H in recent years, but to compare him to Hitler is downright ridiculous.

To be honest this lazy, poorly thought out journalism is what I've come to expect from Fighting Spirit Magazine. Fighting Spirit is so laughably awful, they seem to review any free stuff sent to them by anyone (do we really need several reviews on that god awful womens extreme wrestling promotion and Chick Fights). The rest of the magazine reads like embarassingly enthusiastic essays written by kids who've been told they can write about whatever they like for their GCSE mock exam.

In future read R.D's column in the newsagents then buy a copy of Powerslam

to be fair Fighting Spirit acknowledges that the writer is a bit silly.

Reason #495 why Alex Shane is a douche: that article

If Levesque is HHHitler, then is JBL Goebbels (since he actually did the Nazi salute in Germany)

Alex Shane wrote that? Was he high?

People love to go on about that RVD rubbish don't they!?
From insane peopler(the author of that article) to just plain old smarks.

It's like RVD was the second coming or something.

He's right though.







....just kidding.

Another problem I have with Fighting Spirit: it's so f***ing preachy! A few months ago they had a special feature on the treatment of women in wrestling (yet have no problem having a centrefold each month) and now next month it's going to focus on child abuse in wrestling. Since when has wrestling has a child abuse problem?!?

That being said, I love R.D's columns, as well as Lance Storm's, although they should seriously get rid of Bryan Alvarez who is somehow a bigger douche than Alex Shane!

I read this article not too long ago. It was tongue in cheek. It was mocking the people who do talk about Triple H like he's the root of all evil. It was making fun of them, not joining their chorus. It was a joke.

Well that's good, the headline is ridiculous.

Off-topic, but if you play the song The End (the Armageddon theme music) and watch your sig, they seem to be completey appropriate.

Just discovered that.

No wonder I stopped talking to him in 03.

That said, I always assumed that every writer who's ever made the HHHitler jokes were just joking. No one could really believe that.

If you saw the FWA shows he booked, you'd think the exact same thing. ;D

As Winston Churchill once said, "He is a humble man ... and he has much about which to be humble!"

My opinion is that this article was written with tongue firmly in cheek. Nazi occult conspiracies are popular and the writer is spoofing HHH. What I don't get is why a humor article is published in an otherwise serious sports magazine.
