It’s Theory so who really cares, but maybe HHH isn’t that booking genius that everyone pretended like he was when NXT was good. lol

Theory is the biggest idiot of all time. He could have at least cashed in on the NXT title. I mean... He could've cashed in on the 24/7 champ and would've found a way to lose... as long as it is revealed to be the Art Department Trash Can from Jurassic Park that beats him

Below, since Theory didn't even try with a world title and still came up short. The only guy to try with a tertiary belt he already won in the past, and still lost. Worse than both. He literally couldn't beat a worn out Rollins and just ended up being punked by Lashley and losing anyway. Counterpoint: Corbin lost to Jinder. ...Nah, Austin's still an idiot for cashing in on the US title and losing.

So where does this rank with the Corbin and Sandow cash-ins? At least they went for a world title.

Just end Money in the Bank. It's time. It’s my understanding that the PPV is done and they’re putting the MITB matches back into Wrestlemania, Men’s one night and Women’s the other night.

I hope Miz didn't already have a spot picked out for that Biggest Idiot in the World award.

Jinder still had the WWE title, even if his main event status was entirely on paper and sunk the title's prestige like a lead balloon. Roman has two titles, and they wouldn't even tease him losing one of them in a cheap cash in. That just makes it especially worse that Theory tried for a midcard title and still lost.

I said it in the RAW thread but i will reiterate it here I seriously never thought it would be this bad...Austin has a lot to learn but he has worked his ass off...Especially at Mania and it's pretty wild to watch this guy's future completely change trajectory by in large to no real fault of his own and fast too. He was implicated in #SpeakingOut and also has like negative levels of charisma/star power so this doesn't bother me. Honestly would not be shocked if he was only getting pushed (by Vince) because him and Vince are both awful people were implicated in sexual scandals.

This just prove that Theory's push went out to the door with Vince's career.

So where does this rank with the Corbin and Sandow cash-ins? Given he was the first dude to cash in on a secondary belt, I'd say its even worse.

Given how much Triple H went to bat for Bill DeMott and Velveteen Dream I highly doubt he cares.

Austin has never been over outside the time as the doofus son of the Way... he really shouldn't have even been in the Money in the Bank let alone win it...
he was never going to believably have a match against Roman and anyone who beats Roman needs to be their next big time face and shouldn't be losing to shit head cash in mode.
I can't really complain that they made him look like a goober.

HHH was over Theory in NXT when those allegations came out. It’s hilarious to think WWE actually gives two shits in the pot about that.

Given how much Triple H went to bat for Bill DeMott and Velveteen Dream I highly doubt he cares. Hell, when it comes to Theory, when it was time to rehab his image when the accusation threw him off the main roster, where did Theory go? A nice repackage as a member of The Way in Triple H's NXT. To me, it's just clear Triple H doesn't see the main eventer that Vince sees, and it's not about Speaking Out or any other moral shortcomings of Austin Theory.

I'm just so confused. Theory was pushed in EVOLVE which was the NXT feeder system. He was brought in to NXT and they did a lot with him. I figured Hunter would like the guy given all that evidence. Even if he didn't see him as a main eventer, there are a million things you can do here that are better than this.

Darby Allin and others were as well which doesn't excuse what they did/or are accused of I just try to stay as far away as possible from the lives of these guys because there are always areas of gray. If I knew everything about the shows and things I enjoy I would likely hate everything. It's still strange to watch someone's life pivot like that. Not even taking the bait on the last statement
