If HHH wins...we question his business sense and wonder if he really does have the ability to rationally run this company one day. There. Fixed that for you. LoL why thank you for that.

It's official. I chuckled at the bleached blonde comment. Ok so what's the "extreme" rule? Surely a triple threat match isn't considered extreme. So they're gonna add a gimmick right?

Well last year the D-bryan/fella title match was just a 2 outta of 3 falls match, so a triple threat match might be extreme enough for the WWE.

True besides there are no rules in a triple threat match so I'm hoping for some weaponry.

I mean they might just add in the extreme rules label just for show even thought triple threat are basically that.

They could conceivably play up a Submission aspect, but the last time I remember Dolph finishing anyone with the Sleeper was all the way back to Capitol Punishment.

What's the other guy gonna do while dolph has the other one in a sleeper? Stand in the corner and watch. I at least wanted a ladder match.

People can tap to it, though it primarily knocks out the guy in it, which is still is a submission, just like if someone passes out to the Patriot Lock or Cross Arm Breaker. And I would presume the other guy is going to be knocked out, like in all the other triple threats and fatal four ways that end in submission.

When's the last time someone tapped out to a sleeper hold? I'm asking that as a legitimate question. I know piper used it and the million dollar dream was a variation of a sleeper but i can't remember the last time it happened.

I don't know about tapping out, which is probably the point you're making, but Dolph did beat Kofi with the Sleeper at Capitol Punishment, and has put out guys like Great Khali in the past, which are still submission victories. I don't think they've actually run a Submission Triple Threat before, so I wouldn't mind seeing this spin on the match, but only if they remember that Dolph actually finished people with the Sleeper at one point. Edit: The Tazzmission comes to mind as a Sleeper/Choke that probably has some actual tap outs to its credit.

I'm just saying that the sleeper hold isn't widely regarded as a legitimate finisher. Hell it's pretty much just used as rest hold in almost every match.

Offhand, the Miz / Morrison / Bryan match at Hell in a Cell 2010 was a submissions-count-anywhere match. Not entirely sure why given Morrison's never been a submission guy and Miz wasn't at the time, but...

I think the Count-Anywhere part was supposed to play into Morrison's Parkour gimmick, but it was still mostly to put Bryan over as US champ.

The Triple Threat should be an at least solid match. All three guys are pretty great workers. All three guys should have motivation to steal the show. With Dolph wanting to establish himself, Swagger wanting to make sure he's not dropped down the card after this, and Del Rio trying to keep some of the spotlight as a nonchampion after this!
I heard someone call them a trio of boring. I see why people find these three boring, I guess. But I don't. I find all three legitimately entertaining so its cool to see this triple threat honestly, and its also just really cool how all three are guys who weren't main event caliber players when I started watching in 208. In fact the only person (likely) involved in a title match who WAS in 2008 is Cena himself. Sheamus/Orton/Show if it happens will be the boring Triple Threat to me. I can't get into that.

I agree with ziggler (to an extent) not being boring. He's not boring to me just when i hear his music if I'm in another room i won't rush to the t.v. I'll watch his matches depending on who he's facing. Alberto Del Rio.. pfft i can watch him ALL day and night with a huge smile on my face. Love that man.Swagger is entertaining to me when he's being goofy. I'd love to see a storyline where he actually embraces his lisp but adds some extra funk to it and start just butchering words on purpose. In the ring swagger does nothing for me. Ok wrestler but meh. This match will be great though IMO. Triple threats generally are when the right people are involved. I want it to be a good amount of all 3 as well. Not ziggler taking a big bump being out for the majority of the match then stealing the victory once del rio kills swagger. I want all 3 to showcase their stuff.

I dont think it will be him being out of the match from big bumps...but I'm thinking Ziggler gets a fairly underhanded win after Del Rio and Swagger are hell bent on taking each other out in the match
