Well howdy all you people out there in RSPW Land, and welcome to my two cents on the wonderful world o' wrasslin'. I'm a wanderer and I spread my wise words throughout the land in as many ways as possible, so who knows how long I'll hang around this place, but after reading some of the stuff put forward by the columnists and the man himself-that man being CRZ-I made the groundbreaking decision to bring my inflammatory rhetoric onto this fair website.

So what taxing topic shall I choose to light up the web this week? Bashing WCW? Nah, that's to easy-bashing WCW every week is just boring now (oh boy, Easy E, I wish you'd never uttered THAT arrogance). What about the sinking show that is Philly's finest, ECW? Naw, Paul E. just tries to hard to take the rise. Well that leaves only one option open to my good self-let's examine those bone benders residing in Stamford, CT-or rather, let's look at one in particular. Let's have a look at Hulk Hogan, shall we?

Oh, I know what all you smartypants are screeching now-"But Redman, what the Hell are you smoking? The Orange One's sitting at home right now, sulking after the Unibrowed God called him bald on pay-per-view! He's not dropping that lame-ass leg for Vince MacMahon!". Well I got news for the world-Hogan's been active in Vinceville for longer than anyone could imagine-albeit in a crafty disguise. Yes, Hogan's been cunningly worming his way into an untouchable position over the past year or so, all while sporting a long blonde wig and a ridiculous fake nose. Why, he even managed to marry Vince's baby girl!

I am, of course, referring to the supposed star of 2000, Triple H, and having made these statements I'm probably gonna hear from a gaggle of Hunterites protesting me picking on the former DXer. Fear not, however, for I have plenty enough evidence to back up my outrage-inducing claims. So hop in my time machine and let's nip back to January 2000....

....Where Hunter knocked off Cactus Jack in a blistering Streetfight. THAT was the start of this whole sordid affair-the vicious rumour mill of the net had already starting chunrning out the whispers of Triple H being in Vinnie's back pocket. You could even point to the final PPV offering of 1999, where Vince and his ersatz son-in-law went walkabout for thirty looooong minutes in the main event hardcore match. But I digress. From that streetfight Hunter went on to pin Foley again, as you well know, in another classic-this time in that good ol' Hell In A Cell-and then began his real, blatant, open egocentrism at WrestleMania by becoming the first-ever heel to walk out the Grandaddy Of Em All with the world strap still round their waist. He proceeded to drop that belt to the Jock at Backlash, then regained it a mere three weeks later thanks to the unruly return of the Undertaker, going up six wins to five in a stonking Iron Man Match. So Trippa gets up a tally of four reigns, before once again relinquishing the gold to-you guessed it-the Rock. Ya think he's a bit unwilling to work with anyone else?

Yessir, the end of Hunter's last rule said it all-Rock gained the belt from Gameboy not by pinning him, but by pinning Vince MaMahon in a specially-stipulated six-man. Fine, you say, it leads to a Vince/Hunter feud. Nope-Vince disappeared to make babies with the Linda the very next night, killing that idea.

From that stooopid scenario, Hunter leapt into a feud with Y2Junoir Chris Jericho, culminating in Hunter getting the win in a great last man Standing Match at Fully Loaded in July. Hmm, Hunter goes over the younger talent. No big deal, right? The match still got Jericho over. So where's Jericho now? Oh yeah, he's stuck in the midcard, feuding with Kane and other no-hopers. And after that programme-in which Jericho did not get ONE win-Trippa went into the so-called Feud Of The Year with jocular gent Kurt Angle, over the affections of his full-figured wife. Heading into SummerSlam, both rivals for Lady Steph's hand were named the number one contender to Rocky's world title, and after Hunter almost killed Angle with a botched Pedigree through the announce table, "the Game" laid down for the Great One-the only person Hunter's lost to on PPV in twelve months.

So into Unforgiven we go, as Trippa and Kurt prepare to settle their differences in a straight up singles match. Guess who went over there? Yep, you guessed it. Hunter goes over, Steph stays with him, nothing happens. Wow, what a blowoff to the feud. Great way to buildup Angle for his World Title win the next month, huh?

Once more Hunter was praised by putting over the young talent, playing the face in a feud with Chris Benoit which ended up handing the Crippler a loss, Pedigree-style. So HHH was a bonafide face after that one.

Then, the big one happened. November 6th. RAW IS WAR. Kurt Angle has been champ for two weeks and is being pushed as the top heel in the company, and many say he is headed for a showdown with Hunter at Survivor Series, to finally deliver a decent payoff to their feud. That night, Trippa reunited DX for one last rumble, against the newly-reformed Radicals, which saw Hunter get the pin on Dean Malenko. That night, the main event arrived, where Steve Austin and the Rock were set to face Rikishi-the man that ran Austin down-and World Champ Kurt Angle. Before the match, however, Rocky was eliminated by a rampant equipment case, pushed into him by Rikishi's unseen accomplice. Austin, being the complete dick that is, charged out and fought both men on his own, and when things got bleak, new top level face Triple H charged out to help him.

Or so everyone thought.

After Hunter tossed Kurt out the ring, he promptly turned on Austin, becoming the top heel again and revealing himself to be Rikishi's accomplice. Let's examine this scenario, shall we?

Point One: Hunter pins Benoit on PPV, and squashes the Radicals alongside Dx, then turns heel before Benoit can get a win back.

Point Two: Hunter turns heel, depriving the fans of a decent payoff for his feud with Kurt Angle.

Point Three: Hunter's turn throws him into a feud with top face Steve Austin, making him the top heel, and thus making heel World Champ Kurt Angle looking about as useful as cough syrup on a crotch shot.

Point Four: Hunter's heel turn destroys Rikishi's cred, as everything he said for the month beforehand is revealed to be a lie and he is, supposedly, just a "hired gun".

From there it's just been downhill. Hunter gets dropped in a car by Austin at Survivor Series, only to return a week later without a scratch on him. He is quite clearly injured but refuses to take time off, possibly because he doesn't want someone else to play top heel while he's away. Makes sense, doesn't it?

For the past year, Hunter's been praised for his solid ringwork, and putting people over. The first point I can't argue with-HHH has been the most consistent performer on Tv and PPV this year. The second point, however, I can disagree with. While Hunter's feuded with the rising stars, the only place he's actually put them over is on RAW, and usually it involved a screwjob ending. Hell, Jericho didn't even get a win from Hunter in their feud. And where is that younger talent now? Angle's rapidly becoming a lame duck champ, Jericho's spent the last few months killing time in feuds with Sean Frickin' Waltman and Kane, and Benoit's been pulled back into the IC ranks. Sound fair to you?

So, in closing, let me just say this-it's all very well for us smarks to support Hunter now, when his ringwork is entertaining and everything, but remember, YOU'LL be the ones moaning when he's put over everyone constantly, and when the WWF is run by his ego. Sure, Vince'll turf him when he gets too bad, but mark my words, it's gonna get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

Thankyou, I'll be here all week!
