So, who do you like now?
Buy seriously, Hunter did what many of you complain about tonight. Was it in a not-fair manner? Yeah, so what. The fact of the matter is that the man, tapped out once again to a vanilla midget, and he's done it before. Does he pick and choises who he loses to at certain times, yeah. But, in all reality, the lost tonight really wasn't called for, but Hunter put his pride aside and actually let Benoit one-up him.
Michaels on the other hand, well, we all know he COULDN'T let Shelly Benji beat him, 'cause that'd just be crazy, huh?
So, while you may hate or love (or neither) Triple H, at lease he isn't affriad at times when there isn't no need for it. And Shawn, well, he wont let anyone get ahead of hi if he feels they dont deserve it.
And While the lost to Michaels is no doubt setting Benji for another match with Jericho, since he lost as well, fact is, Benji may be I.C. champion, but even that isn't enough to beat a God like Michaels.
(did I just lose my mind?)

Yes, Dino you lost your mind.
But not on this.
I don't understand why HBK has to be in the main event picture anymore. He's won this titles. He's got the respect for coming back from a serious injury. Like Flair, I think HBK's responsibility at this stage is putting over the young blood. Shelton Benjamin needs work on his mic skills, but athletically he's as good as it gets.

People People.
It's not like HBK super kicked Benjamin, then got the count in 5 seconds.
they had an ultra competitive match, full of great wrestling and spots
HBK just put Shelton on the map, giving Shelton his best match ever.
Remember losing doesn't matter in wrestling, it's how he performed.
Shelton was getting a god push of being undefeated in singles matches, so HBK beats him with the SCM outta nowhere.
it was awesome

I don't think any of us actually think he'll be snatching the title from Batista. I'd have much rather seen Benjamin in there than him. His music hit and I was going "WTF???" There isn't anyone else they could use?

His music hit and I was going "WTF???" There isn't anyone else they could use? Not really with Young Randall on the shelf. Who else is their on Raw? Flair? Hassan? Masters? Maven? Regal? Tomko? Their is a huge drop off from Main Event-Upper Midcard to Midcard(or lack there of). Besides HBK, Flair and Hassan would have been Logical choices.

micheals needed the win in a singles match, he's been on a bit of a losing strwak lately....and shelton didn't come off as eak in the match. Micheals is more valuable right now because they can slide him up and down the roster and give anyone they want a rub in any program, but he loses his value when he loses too many matches, and looks like he's old and can't hang with the young guys anymore. he's only got a few years left as a peak perfomormer anyways, so milk that while you can. benjamin on the other hand has many many good years left in him, and this doesn't hurt him at all, as he looked competitive against a legend. Remember, he's still on the way up, and they're trying to make it look like he still makes the dumb rookie mistake every once in a while.

I agree with Dinobot. Shawn is still the same egomaniacal self promoter he's always been, God rap or not. It's no different than Hogan doing the same thing. Shawn should just let it go and let someone else get some of the spotlight for a change.

We haven't seen flair wrestle on t.v. in months. I doubt the WWE wants to end Hassan's no pin/submission streak by putting him in the Tournament. So all in all, HBK was the only choice for the last spot in that tournament.

Didn't hbk lose to angle & davari last month?
Hbk won in a fluky kinda way, they set it up as a lucky win for him basically. This match didn't hurt shelton one bit.

I agree with what Shac said. IMO, this match put Shelton over a lot more, even if he didn't score the W. It was a match that could have went either way.. I liked the end of it. I'm still marking for the way he hit the SCM.

Didn't hbk lose to angle & davari last month? Yes, yes he did, BUT, in the case of Shawn Daivari, it was due to interferernce by Muhammad, so it wasn't a clean victoy. And the match with Angle was, something where it really didn't matter who won, but in the long scheme of things Angle needed it, more I guess, so, that was move on Michaels. Michaels had a chance to actually do something worthy with Benji last night, but didn't. Something mind you, that Hunter did on more then one occasion. While it was a great match and all, and yeah, maybe made Shelton seem more impressive to the casual fans, but, the win does nothing for Shawn, and did a mixture of lower and highten Shelton, after all, he is the I.C champion, but, that never matters, when you're in the ring with Shawn who has done it all, but, just as long it's not for the title, people can forget that and just say it was a great match. Ah, but when we think about it, Daivari is the real future, NOT Shelly Benji

For a guy that has as much backstage power as HHH has(bigger than what Hogan had in his prime) i think that he is fairly decent in his ways. It might be the fact that he is a heel but when he looses ,he looses emphatically.I mean just look at the past 2 manias.He tapped out at lat year's and he was left ,almost dead and bleeding,in this year's. O.k so he wants to break Flair's record but i think that the HHH haters are putting too much weigh at this.Times have changed.Hell if the Rock was wrestling(full time) he would also have a chance to break Flair's record.He was a 7 times champions in what( ) four years??? HHH might get on my nerves sometimes but he is nowhere near as annoying as other dominant wrestlers of the past.(who were made to look unbeatable)

HHH might get on my nerves sometimes but he is nowhere near as annoying as other dominant wrestlers of the past.(who were made to look unbeatable) Simple: The Rock is a much, much, much better wrestler and entertianer then Triple H could ever dream of being. Triple H is a one-note, one-gimmick person, were as the rock has 3 distinct methods (sympathic Babyface, arrogant movie-star heel and tweener) that he can slide between like a greased deaf lawyer (Good to be back America). Trips is where he is because he's stuck around those with power.
