During the WWE Untold documentary about Sting, Triple H explained that he was supposed to face The Rock at WrestleMania 32. Him defeating Sting was meant to get him over to the point where the next year at WrestleMania a program against The Great One could be prepared. However, as time told that did not happen due to The Rock’s still-exploding movie career.
>“And then the next one he [Sting] threw out I think was me and so, at that point [it] was me going back to Vince and saying, ‘Do we wanna make this happen?’ And Vince was all for it and we were able to make a deal. Part of the impetus with the way things turned out with the Sting thing is because I was already booked to work with The Rock at the following year’s WrestleMania and we’ll build it for more than a year. That was the intent, belief, everything else. Just as time went on, Rock’s schedule changed later in the year and we weren’t able to do the match for the following year’s WrestleMania one-on-one against The Rock.”
>“You know there are people who’ll say, ‘Well…’, I should’ve put him over to give him the moment and that’s arguably — to say that you should’ve… The Rock situation made that impossible, which didn’t happen, but that’s the truth of it. Are there things that could’ve been done differently? I don’t know that it took away from anything.”
Holy ding-dong diddly politicing can haitch spin some bullshit. Is he really trying to say that if he didnt beat Sting there's no way he could book himself a match against The Rock? Rock could wrestle Jinder Mihal and it'd be a must see match. "I asked Vince and he was all for it". Classic Haitch >He uuuh Vince...whould we uhhh. should we maybe book me against Sting? >Oh that sounds like good shit >And uhh....I guess I'll uhhh go over...you know to face Rock...uhhh sometime next year >That's so you!
Nolan Butler
I fucking hate Triple H so much.
Nathan Mitchell
Who the fuck wants to see this cocksucker against The Rock? Other than him. I'd rather The Rock face someone he's never bee in the ring with. What a fucking self-mark clown. Holy shit.
Aaron Campbell
Two questions If this was about Gaitch getting over to build towards The Rock why was DX, and the NWO involved? Wouldnt that make you look weaker? And second, why wouldnt Sting's first match in WWE be against Taker? Wasn't that the dimes raining match everyones wanted?
Gabriel Diaz
He’s such a fucking liar and it legit makes me angry that smarks now eat shit out the palm of his hands because of NXT.
Even Scott Hall said Vince was burying WCW one last time.
Wyatt Hernandez
>Going to built for a year >Rock wasn't booked for Raw the next night or even mentioned even though his schedule changed late in the year

Gavin Jackson
He's been wanting that Rock match for I dont know how long now. They teased with Rhonda too. I just imagine Rock blwoing him off >Can't Paul. Shooting Jumanji >Cant Paul. Shooting Fast & The Furious >Can't Paul. Running for President
Thomas Ortiz
based rock big leaguing this shitty little company
Angel Phillips
>Gaytch still thinks him going over wins him fans Does he know why people hate him?
Gavin Sanders
Who gives a shit? Rock faced Cena twice you ham and egger. Taker vs Sting doesnt need face or heel. It would have been Taker vs Goldberg without the fucking brainbusters
Connor Turner
Yeah he contradicts himself. He didn't even appear on TV much to plant seeds
Lucas Cooper
>Who gives a shit? Rock faced Cena twice you ham and egger. Don't call me that.
Leo Wilson
Four years later and Paul is still on massive damage control and is pivoting the all blame of burying Sting on The Rock of all people.
Rock and Cena is not face vs face and you know it.
Kevin Smith
Haitch will never give up a chance to bury a WCW guy. Ask Booker T
Brandon Collins
Don't pretend to be me you green egg and hammer.
Tyler Richardson
Then what is it mongoloid? They didnt pose either as face or heel. They posed them as two eras and fans would choose who to back you fat faggot
Jaxson Wood
Ham and eggers dont get to decide calls. You do the job and shut your mouth
Isaac Robinson
OK, I did it. In case you didn't hear, I admit I did it. I went over Sting. And you ask why? I didn't do it for me, no I didn't do it for me. I did it for...The Rock.
Jace Gonzalez
No one wants to see Triple nose massage his fragile ego by going over the Rock. Rock is better off in AEW or making movies than jobbing to Triple nose
Can you imagine Haitch even trying to suggest to the Rock he would be going over? Can you imagine that conversation?
Nathan Turner
>there are people who will buy into this story and continue to watch Gargano vs Cole matches ad infinitum and chant NXT to show their loyalty to triple semen slurper
Jace Thomas
It's bad enough this ego maniac went over at so many shows when it wasn't necessary, (Rumble 00, Mania 16, Summerslam 03, Unforgiven 04, Mania 25, Night of Champions 11, etc.) but him burying the face of wcw was fucking infuriating. I wish this fucker died at Over The Edge 99 instead of Owen.
Luis Taylor
Member in Mad Men when Don is getting the business from the Jewish geek about not taking his ideas seriously then stealing them?
Haitch - I feel bad for you Rock - haha I don't think about you at all brother *fist bump emoji*
Leo Ramirez
>“And then the next one he [Sting] threw out I think was me What was the first match Sting threw out? Taker? And why wasnt that booked? And we're supposed to believe Sting who has ALWAYS said he'd only sign with WWE to face Taker suggested Haitch himself? Fucking self mark.
Robert Cook
The same night they already moved on from the Sting feud and made you forget everything that happened an hour earlier with the Rock and Rousey segment. Not that anyone would buy HHH as any less or more of a contender based on a result from a year prior.
Juan Peterson
>WWE making their own documentaries Suspect as fuck. I don't think there's a single WWE documentary that didn't rewrite history.
Anthony Young
They literally just did Undertaker/Goldberg without a face/heel dynamic.
Christopher Reyes
>HHH making his own documentaries
Hunter Cruz
“You see Rock, you wouldn’t have a movie career without me. I put you over in the Attitude Era. The thing is, everyone always repays their debt. Batista knee this and repaid his debt at Wrestlemania 35 and let me retire him. I think you should too”
Jace Cook
underrated post
Leo Myers
HHH is a master spin doctor, I don't want to believe it but I know there's at least one NXTdrone that buys every word he's saying. What a loser.
Levi Garcia
I'm surprised he didn't take the Taker spot at SSD and finally get a clean win over Goldberg
Alexander Phillips
Undertaker turned heel around 2016/2017, while Goldberg is a babyface, I don't know what you're talking about
Xavier Mitchell
>And second, why wouldnt Sting's first match in WWE be against Taker? Because Taker is mark who hates WCW and told that he's not going to do it.
Also lmao at Triple H. "You seeuhh wins and losses don't matteraah also I have to go overraaah."
Zachary Cruz
>I buried Sting >it’s The Rock’s fault The nerve of this guy
James Bennett
WrestleMania 36 main event confirmed?
Julian Powell
How does he not get dizzy with all this fucking spinning? Reminder that he built his wrestlemania match with Booker as a mega heel champ, and Booker was the mega underdog. Sprinkled some racism in his promos, and instead of letting the face win and the heel beat shit HE FUCKING WENT OVER. Damn self marks
If you have been following, this has always been HHH's strategy and he has been using it for twenty years, he learned it from the others in the Kliq, he always gets the NEXT match setup so his current match needs him to go over for the build of the next match so it's always a 'Oh Gee, it can't be helped' matter and he can't lose now because he has this other thing next.
Ryan Hall
>Sting finally arrives at WWE after 15 years >Sting says it's not about the monday night wars anymore and that it's ridiculous after all this time >it's about facing a corrupt elite >Triple H pops out >says it's about the wars >cue match >degenerate rebels come out to help corrupt authority B >corrupt authority A comes out to help the hero >corrupt authority B wins in the most heelish manner and shakes hands with A >it's The Rock's fault what the fuck, how? How the fuck can that possibly make sense in anyone's mind, I know Trips isn't that fucking stupid and that he just wants to set up his match where he goes over The Rock, but fuck couldn't he make up a better excuse? I swear if half of Rock's family wasn't in WWE he would've wrestled in AEW on general principle.
Carter Diaz
>Get pushed like superman for twenty years >I-uhhh need to beat you for people to take me seriously as a threat to the Rock-uhhh
Liam Collins
>instead of letting Booker T win and the heel beat shit HE FUCKING WENT OVER. Damn self marks when he was asked about this his response was "well ya see, I didn't job to Booker because I wasn't told to job to Booker, and I was about to enter a program with Goldberg so I had to look strong anyways"
>Him defeating Sting was meant to get him over People don't believe this do they?
Jose Lewis
ikr, i think sting had the undertaker potential of just being the guy who appears on wrestlemania / ppvs and puts over the midcarders. bit like foley did for edge etc
Parker Gomez
Plus some bullshit like "Booker was actually thinking of retiring at the time". He's been doing this same shit FOREVER.
Jonathan Robinson
>implying Rock has better principles than Vinny Mac
ishygdnkiawwywawawyiaddslajmadt
Brody Miller
HHH wants this match with the rock just to go over clean. Why is the rock so deep in his subconscious? Why is this faggot so obsessed with the Rock?
Austin Hughes
>It's bad enough this ego maniac went over at so many shows when it wasn't necessary, (Rumble 00 You're wrong about this one. He HAD to win at the Rumble. That was the entire point of the thing, and it worked.
Lucas Wright
Tried and failed to bury him with the rest of the Kliq back when Rocky was an up-and-comer because they immediately sensed he was gonna annihilate them in terms of star power. It's also why he hates Bret, Bret intentionally did all he could to protect Rock backstage when he realized what was going on.
Kevin Hughes
Shawn unironically once said that Rock is jealous of Triple H.
>biggest star that wrestling ever produced >had the most dimes drawn in a single year in history >nucleary over for vast majority of his career >top paid actor in Hollywood >despite his career being comparatively brief he is set in stone as a top 5 wrestler of all time For sure The Rock is fuming.
Triple H needed to beat Sting so he could get over to face The Rock a year later... You have to be the biggest brainlet to believe this horseshit. Gaytch is an embarrassment.
Connor Mitchell
How the crowd reacts to you has nothing to do with whether you’re a face or a heel. You can be a heel and cheered and vice versa.
If anything, The Rock was the heel in the first Cena match because of how he interfered in Cena-Miz one year earlier.
Josiah Jenkins
Plus he supposedly had to look strong against Booker so it would mean more when he put over Goldberg at Summerslam. Then he beat Goldberg anyway. Whoops.
Easton Bennett
Someone post the Paul is a hero and a visionary webm
Jeremiah Ward
Who said my reasoning was based on the crowd reaction?
Cena has been a heel this whole time. Fact. It's just that his character thinks he's a good guy.
Cooper Hughes
>Dream match people have waited for nearly 25years >needing more build up

Fucking anti-draw triple gaitch

What the fuck is wrong with you?
Michael Reyes
>sorry Dave, the fact of the matter is i need to go over this time so i look strong going into my match with Randy in Saudi Arabia
Ian Watson
The nerve of this faggot. Fuck Triple H.
Kayden Lewis
Nah, the part about DX and a tank is true. I was there. WCW gave everyone a refund that night because the smell of piss from the locker room ruined the entire arena. Rick Rude, Curt Henning, Louis Spicolli, The Renegade, and Mike Awesome all killed themselves when it happened.
Carson Jones
Basically each WWE employee was 'asked' to see this movie twice.
>using le Rocky Wrestlemania match as an excuse to constantly go over Hunter is such a sneaky jew fuck, The Rock is done and if he was to come back the money is with Brock vs Rock II, not Tripletty.
Ayden Cruz
Hey buddy, could you cool it with the antisemitism a little bit?
Zachary Morgan
>if he was to come back the money is with Rock vs Rowan II ftfy
Thomas Reyes
Some crazy wrestling fan with nothing to lose should just kill HHH desu
Kayden Peterson
no touché
Blake Watson
so when and how are you gonna do it user?
Ethan Howard
Sting vs Haitch didn't even need to happen. Paul just wanted another wankfest where he and his DX buddies beat WCW all over again.
William Wright
Yeah. Sting could have wrestled one of the up and comers in the business like Seth Rollins :) O wait ...OH NO NO NO NO
Brandon Thomas
>Implying Sethetty wasn't injuring people left and right during that time OH NO NO NO NO NO!
Austin James
The problem with that is that they decided to put a shitter like Seth Rollins in a feud with Sting and look what happened.
Kevin Wilson
kek. Seriously. He had beaten Taker and Brock at this point and still claims he needed to be fed Sting to be taken as a threat.
Samuel Fisher
I’m pretty sure everyone figure that out when he came out during that rock/Rousey segment
Isaiah Bennett
That's the thing to. He's already a shitter for nog booking Taker vs Sting no matter what. If someone wants to bury Sting let it be Taker for fucks sake. Non one is brainlet enough to believe Sting would have gone over. But if he's going to book himself to bury Sting AT LEAST do it alone. He brings in the inane clown posse to bury them even more rendering Sting hot garbage in one match. That's why Sting vs Seth was already a shit match to make. Sting acutally might have come off good here. he got his WWE money and only jobbed to two people for it, because if Seth hadnt botched him into retirement Sting would be out there right now getting dropped on his head in Saudi Arabia and losing clean to Zack Ryder
Joshua Nelson
bring him in to save taker from something and swerve to have him leave him laid out next week cut a promo as an invading heel and have him shit all over the company and how taker is just a gimmick and all show and is washed blah blah blah. this isn't rocket science.
Luke Cruz
Remember Sting basically said that Carder didnt want to wrestle him
Is anyone else concerned that this guy is grooming a new generation of workers who are going to mimic his bullshit?
Luke Cooper
you need hope to have concern. all of his big future superstar nxt signings already flopped so it's better just to accept that the company is dead either way.
Joseph Walker
Eh. His daughters are too young to marry, so none of the people there will have a shot to be like him.
Levi Cruz
>Daughters each get blacked by Velveteen Dream in his prime
Jason Phillips
The 25 years of anticipation is the build Mr. Smooth Brain
Andrew Allen
Foley could have easily dropped the title back to Cunter at no way out. The world championship played hot potato throughout 99, one more quick switch wouldn't have diminished it in any way
Jordan Johnson
Austin and Undertaker were gone and Foley had one foot out the door. They desperately needed to make a new top guy. Triple H was already on shaky ground as people weren't buying him as a top guy for the second half of '99. There is no way Triple H should have lost that match. He needed to look like a destroyer. The whole point of the match was to show how tough the guy was. It was executed very well.
Nolan Price
That's the one match in his career that you can't really argue
Luis Long
Had to get his buddies a fat WrestleMania paycheck, too. Can't forget about that.
Evan Brown
>...we’ll build it for more than a year
Mania to Mania. How do you build it for longer than a year?
Dude is so full of shit.
Jaxon Murphy
Gaytch still hasn't gotten over the fact he was never the biggest star in the company. He's bitterly jealous that guys like Rock, Austin, Brock and Cena have all achieved mainstream success while he's stuck being known only for his carny bullshit wrestling career. He makes up for this by beating everyone in wrestling and having armies of production staff engaging in the most obvious campaign of historical revisionism to make himself a legend. Gaytch is pathetic.
William Nelson
>Couldn’t have a match at WM32 because Rock’s schedule wouldn’t allow it >But Rock had a match against Rowan at WM32.
What?
Asher Brooks
fliposhit fingered his asshole because of Triple H
I really wish Sting never jumped to WWE. He got nothing out of it other than finally selling out after years of not doing so. He didn't even get the title once or a big win at Mania. Complete waste of time. Even had he not ever jumped to WWE he still could have even went into their HOF on his career alone. Stevie Ray could get in then so could Sting.
Nathaniel Ramirez
>Be Ric Flair >On all 4s on a table with his ass open and in the air >Gets straight up ping pong balls shoved up his ass by his best friend Dusty. >Catches a rookie Piper off guard when he accidentally comes in on it, causing his buddy to have to make a cover story for it years later anyway even if it sounds just as gay as what actually happened.
This is how a WRESTLER gays it up.
>Be Fliposhitter >Flippy little manlet gets naked and puts his legs behind his head >Sticks his small little manlet finger in his ass and proceeds to uninspiringly finger his own asshole. >Record it like a straight up homo
This is how a flippy little manlet gays. Not only are fliposhit and the other manlets terrible in the ring, they can't even gay it up like a wrestler. flippy manlets truly are worse than WRESTLERS in every way, even in the gay/
>I really wish Sting never jumped to WWE. Why do you fucking care? Dude got a paycheck. Are you upset about the 'honor' of this carnival show? Fucking mark.
Easton Powell
Sting is my favorite wrestler you cuck. WWE is a shitshow that continues to ruin wrestling.
Grayson Sanchez
I doubt Sting has even thought twice about it. Wrestling is a joke to separate marks and their money. Deal with it.
Jason Thomas
I thought he was "The Game", why does he "need" a big win to face Dwayne the following year? Isn't he *already* a big star? Jesus Christ, and you guys think this faggot is the future leader of WWE? I've never seen this level of insecurity. Ever.
>I should’ve put him over to give him the moment and that’s arguably — to say that you should’ve…
What an insecure piece of shit. I bet the rock finish would have had rock shaking his hand saying "look he's better than me too!" The company wont stop failing till him, Steph and vince are gone.
>Rock and Triple H had some of the best rivalries in late 90s to about 2001 retard. So what? It isn't the 90's or 2001 anymore, shithead. We've seen it a million times already.
Charles Long
Nope. Best match they ever had was the ladder match for the IC title. Everything else was Paul trying to get his "epic" moment
Hudson Hughes
Triple H and Rock is one of the most storied rivalries in the company almost matching Austin and Rock. Everyone knew Triple H's arch nemesis was The Rock and vice versa.
Point is their rivalry was never finished the way Austin and Rock finished. There was and still is unfinished business.
>Best match they ever had was the ladder match for the IC title
How can you say that when matches like Iron Man match at Judgment Day 2000 exists or the multiple world title matches they had. Triple H was the prefect heel to carry the Rock.
Hello, Paul. Rock is busy to fake fight you. There's no unfinished business. Move on.
Andrew Moore
literally no one gives a fuck what triple h does at wrestlemania. the only person who is a mark for triple h, is triple h.
fans cared about undertaker and his streak fans care when stone cold appears fans even care when the rock shows up to cut a promo
but no one gives a shit what triple h does no matter how hard he pushes himself
Grayson Flores
the rock, hogan and andre the giant are the only wrestlers my dad can name. i imagine it's the same for almost any person you stopped on the street. he has no idea who cena or stone cold are.
