Sup,
Just revisiting this feud and I'm a little confused.
When did the fake DX reunion happen in relation to the big reveal of HHH attacking HBK?

I think right after the PPV where HHH officially signed onto RAW. Might have been judgement day 2002 but not totally sure.

If I remember right, it actually makes no sense. After Vengeance where Triple H decided to go to Raw, the very next night the fake DX reunion happened. The Raw after, Shawn Michaels intended to beat down HHH, and off screen, got his head rammed into a car window. Triple H wants to figure out who it was, but the truth is, it was him all along!!!!!!
Who the hell else could it have been? The Corporation?

That's what was confusing me.
You had Triple H turn on HBK, but then once MYSTERY ATTACKER went after HBK it was as if Triple H was his best friend again and the DX thing hadn't happened.

It was vengeance 02, HHH wasn't sure which brand to go to so Shawn said come to Raw and we'll make Eric's life hell. So HHH did.
Next night they did the fake D-X reunion
The week after they found Shawn unconscious in the car park, And Eric thought it was HHH.
The week after trips was asking people if they had any info on Shawn's beating, later on they found the security footage that proved HHH did it.
Then we had typical buildup with the whole "is Shawn 100%, or is he going to cripple himself"
If they wanted the story to make sense the D-X reunion should have happened and on the same night do D-X antics but the next week we find Shawn laid out, But honestly HHH was really the only logical assailant.

That part of the story never made any sense. It was obvious Triple H did it, who else would have? Marty Jannetty? Actually that would have been a nice bit of continuity at the time.

I believe the week prior to the D-X reunion was Nash's quad tear. So I have to assume everything was rewritten at the last second to give everyone a role, since heel Shawn Michaels returning to wrestle likely wouldn't likely get booed. Plus they only had a short time to set everything up, so it was rushed out.

Sup, Just revisiting this feud and I'm a little confused. When did the fake DX reunion happen in relation to the big reveal of HHH attacking HBK? Vengeance was when HHH signed to RAW at the suggestion of HBK. Next night on RAW, HBK was then "assigned" to be the manager of HHH. Both men were pissed, but HHH had the idea to stick it in Bischoff's face, thus the DX reunion where HHH turned on HBK. The next week saw HBK have his face rammed through the windshield. The week after that was the reveal that Triple H did it via the surveillance descrambling. So to answer the question, the DX reunion happened well before. |

So I have to assume everything was rewritten at the last second to give everyone a role, since heel Shawn Michaels returning to wrestle likely wouldn't likely get booed. Plus they only had a short time to set everything up, so it was rushed out. I believe Triple H was originally supposed to stay face and feud with the NWO, eventually leading to a match with Nash at Summerslam, presumably with Michaels in Nash’s corner. The seeds were planted in a backstage segment at King Of The Ring. Rather than choosing between Raw and Smackdown, the segment at Vengeance was originally going to be the NWO issuing HHH an ultimatum: join us or get your ass kicked. HHH would of course have refused and that would kick off the feud. Nash getting injured and then the NWO being dropped threw everything up in the air though and they then devised the plan for HHH vs HBK. It is rather strange that something as major as Shawn Michaels’ return to the ring at Summerslam and a blood feud with his best friend was only the back-up plan to a Triple H/Kevin Nash match. Although presumably the HHH/Michaels stuff would have ended up happening later anyway, with their first match probably taking place at Wrestlemania XIX or possibly Survivor Series in MSG. Nash’s injury just brought it forward. |

It should have been booked differently.
Trips should have tried to do the DX reunion, only for Shawn to be found laid out backstage. Then a week or two of Shawn being injured while Trips is seeking vengeance for his friend and looking for the attacker. Then they should have had Shawn return and come out with Triple H for the DX reunion, only to eat a pedigree after the "let's get ready to suck it" bit. The whole stupid bit with the sattelite interview and the cleaned up footage being shown should have been scrapped. Shawn getting out of the wheel chair should've been saved for his next return after the sledgehammer attack at Summerslam.
Honestly, the feud produced a lot of good segments and of course matches. It just wasn't thought out thoroughly before it started IMO.

From all of these statements I've read in this thread, the entire feud between HHH and HBK made absolutely no sense. Plus, why did Triple H and Shawn Michaels feud for two years? Did anybody actually care in 2004?

Did anybody actually care in 2004? Trips and Shawn feuded on and off for two years. They had their program in 2002, met on and off through 2003, then had their feud pretty much end at Bad Blood. And yeah, people cared. |
