This week, HHH and Orton will face off one-on-one on RAW. Now the last time this was the case, something magical occurred.
I think we should all take a moment to remember this occasion, and think, "if only Regal had saved this for Wrestlemania 25".

I'll say it now, after Taker/Shawn, HHH/Orton was the best match on that card and I loved it.

Don't get me wrong, I quite liked the match overall aswell. But it still needed Regal.

I wouldn't shed any tears if they were to do that again.
I never liked any of the HHH/Orton matches and hope this feud ends sooner than later.

I think HHH feels threatened by Orton to be honest. Not that Orton is that special in the ring or as a draw but I think that over five years after taking him under his wing in Evolution, the fact that to this day he still insists that Orton jobs to him pretty much every time they meet I think indicates that perhaps psycholoically HHH is protective over his spot against the younger guy.
Don't forget that HHH is now a gay guys stones throw away from being 40 and not so long ago he was still pushing himself as the 'youth/anti-estabilshment' figure with DX. The man is without queston 10 years past pulling off that role with any conviction and his in ring ability is arguably at least seven years beyond it's prime.
I do think that it's telling that HHH cannot let Orton go, almost as if beating Orton constantly is done for no other reason other than to reassure himself that he's still the top guy, capable of beating the younger talent.

I loved Regal as GM!
What would Vickie do to sabotage the match?

Now, I for one do not like buying into this "older guys holding the younger guys down" mentality. I mean, now this could be completely out of the question, but couldn't it just be the way their feuds have been booked? I really just think its gonna make the win even greater win Orton does finally beat HHH. |

That was such an awesome moment. At that time I truly believed that Regal was on his way to a cup of coffee with the WWE title. His GM/King/Tyrant character was one of the best "forgotten" moments of 2008.

What I don't get it's the first Night after the Draft where RAW is full up of New People
So the night will be ended with a Match we've seen a million times

Imagine you paid 50 bucks for Wrestlemania and then it got cut off in the mainevent. Wouldnt you be pissed? And now imagine you were a typical WWE mark in the same situation. |

Ugh, King Regal.
A bunch of annoying moments happening made only worse by everyone on here screaming "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE IT, HE'S A HEEL!"
It was still a stupid idea.

Maybe to you, you make it seem like that previous statement made in caps was false. It's supposed to, it's not like he's looking for the crowd's approval. If he did it at a PPV or something, ok but it honestly wasn't that bad. |

If it got cut off on that particular main event, I don't think I'd care all that much, but I can't speak for everyone of course. If it was during HBK/Undertaker, I'd probably be plenty pissed off. |
