How did you like it?
I thought it was a great segment. Its scary guys this old still trumps above the majority of the entire roster in terms of doing stuff like this. If WWE removed Trips,HBK,Taker,Rock, Jericho etc from the Mania build up this year. Man I cant imagine. WWE needs some more talent like this and needs to give some more shine to guys who have this kind of potential.

Considering how awesome last year's segment between those two and Taker was, I wasn't shocked at how good it was.

The thing is that they are so good because they have been at for 20 years.

Guys get time to explore the characters on the air and promos that aren't rigidly scripted, and it produces good results?
Whoda thunk it?

Also, was HBK voice more raspy than usual?
The segment was great as I expected it to be.

I hate these old "Kliq" has-beens with a passion but that was a great segment. Kudos to Helmsley for a brilliant promo.

HBK might as well not have even been there. Triple H carried that thing on his back. HBK was okay, but Triple H hit a home run.

After tonight I just find it hilarious how contrasted the Undertaker and Kane storylines are.
Both are over the top and kinda silly, but one is serious, epic, and feels real. You can see and hear the passion in the words and eyes of Undertaker, HHH, and HBK.
Then you have a pointless soap opera with a weird love triangle, horrible acting, and a motivation from Kane which makes no sense.

I loved the 'This will all be mine' line. It's so true.

It was amazing. Triple H in particular was great. Easily my favorite segment of the show.

I loved it, Triple H completely owned it. Did anybody else hear his voice start to sound like Vince's at parts?

I loved the 'This will all be mine' line. It's so true. It was a great line. I just said to myself "he said it, he finally said it." I've been waiting for HHH to say something to that effect, becuase it is so true. He played it up great. |

Oh, I loved it. And despite being vocally against this match again, I'm not going to act like these guys don't know how to deliver an emotive, well-crafted promo. They know what they're doing because they're total pros. And this is the kind of stuff that gets people excited for WM.
I'll tell you my favorite unexpected twist of it: Triple H's reason for not wanting to end the streak. He intertwined the "brand" thing into it, and that was AWESOME because it was grounded in truth. The streak = big money. In kayfabe it's bad for business to have Taker face someone who will likely end the streak. Because despite all the money you make from that one match, the next year when he's gone, you lose that money.
I never thought to use the real life politics of the situation in this feud. Yeah, he feels sorry for him, but he also knows that if he ended the streak he'd be making a bad business decision.
I loved that aspect the most. And Triple H breaking down and talking about how he owned this company, and that it was going to be "all mine" one day was a nice touch that might be foreshadowing a possible heel turn. But if not, it still drove the point home as to where he is at this stage of his career.
