It was lame and unless they plan on doing a rubber match where Lesnar comes out looking like a million bucks their wasting their money Brock.
I mean are the WWE really that petty enough to waste a ton of money on Lesnar only to have job to HHH to prove some moronic point that no one other than HHH and Vince gives a shit about.

Why would brock lesnar continuous lay down on top of HHH after the submission hold..
And wasn't HHH shoulders down on the steps wouldn't that be a pin?

I think the angle was a bit contrived. The whole Triple H retirement gimmick made the outcome really predictable but I thought the match was stellar and got less of a reaction than it deserved. I think this match was more of a compromise between Triple H's style of match and Brock's, where their first match was 100% Triple H's match. This one had Triple H getting tossed all over the place.

Boring as hell and I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was so boring I couldn't even be bothered to get mad at Triple H winning.

Triple H still seems to be in pretty good shape, so they're sure to get a lot more miles out of him in years to come similar to Taker. Him beating Lesnar was just fine and it still made Lesnar look pants-crapping crazy. So it's all good. He'll still look like a beast when he main events next Mania with the Rock.

He held him in the Kimura for ten straight minutes (and had to force it back on three times), had already pedigreed Lesnar once, hit him in the face with a sledgehammer and wasn't able to pin him until he hit a pedigree on the freaking steel steps. It still doesn't do much for this image of being "unstoppable" when your returning record is 1-2. If Cena and Triple H can find a way to beat Lesnar, why should I be worried that no one else can? Or was that the entire reason to bring Lesnar back...not to garner interest or make money off a former UFC champion during a time when MMA is hot...no, we have to have him put over the company darlings, because they deserve it since they respect the business...oh so much. If Taker faces Lesnar next year, there's absolutely no buying the idea that Undertaker can't beat him. That's what you call making the story more interesting; by having Lesnar dominate several opponents and build up a reputation as a guy you can't stop. But right out of the gate...he loses.

Honestly, as much as I would've preferred Brock winning, I thought it was a better match than Punk/'Taker tonight. Or either of the last two HHH/Undertaker Wrestlemania matches, for that matter (though I didn't care for those nearly as much as a lot of people did).

I still agree with your point on Cena. Brock absolutely should have beat Cena IMO, but they handled it pretty right on in the context of the Triple H feud. Brock came in, broke Triple H's arm, then broke his best friend's arm, then embarrassed the game, tapped him out at Summerslam. Brock then goes on to injure his father in law, and goad Triple H into this match where I think it was fair that Triple H won, especially when you consider the shit Triple H had to do to beat him, Pedigrees, keylock for ten minutes, sledgehammer, low blows. He had to dig far deeper than John Cena did that first match.

As I said in the WM thread, nothing bad, but they seemed to think it was a bigger, more intense match than what it actually felt like.

I thought it made Lesnar look awful. Triple H applied Lesnars hold more times than Lesnar. Lesnar gets dropped once and breaks the hold, H gets dropped like 3x on steel steps and manages to lock the hold in again immediately. Also it made him look unprepared, why let Michaels an experienced wrestler at ringside in a No DQ match while you only bring a fat middle aged jewish man with you?

I knew HHH was going to win, but the match just didn't seem like it found its groove. The storyline called for Lesnar and HHH to practically kill each other but yet the first half of the bout was slow. Disappointing if anything, and I do wonder where Lesnar will go from here. You don't have to worry about his "aura", Brock can make you believe he's a monster again with one beat down.

I liked it a lot more than Taker/HHH. I know I'm wrong for it. I've already heard. It was more fun.

I've never seen a match that was so good and awful at the same time. They beat the hell out of each other. They just took forever to do it. Brock looked like a beast while HHH looked like a bitch. Trips needed HBK and "cheap" shots to beat Brock, all while Brock just beat the piss out of HHH. He didn't resort to "low" tactics like HHH. HHH is attacking a lot of groins lately and it's making him look like a complete bitch.

Was so confident that HHH would get his win back, that I literally went and slowly made a sandwich. Butternut and jelly, ate it and enjoyed it (unlike the match). For some reason I couldn't stop sneezing bull#*%$ whenever HHH put in that...*sigh* kimora lock. Butternut? Typo? or something quite interesting I want to hear more about? Oh....my thoughts on the match........I suppose that the above sentence was my first response to this thread is quite telling.

All those suplexes I can't have been the only one having royal rumble 2003 flashbacks. I can only imagine the board exploding if Lesnar tapped which I thought was gonna happen

Everything was great sans the whole Kimura Lock thing from both sides.

HHH didn't sell anything the second half of the match, things that presumably were supposed to hurt.

Excruciatingly boring, but made somewhat more enjoyable as the group I watched with basically just laughed at the silliness of the Kimura Lock sequence.

I am one of the rare people who enjoyed this match AND I thought Trips giving Brock a taste of his own medicine was great and made for great storytelling.
