SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, December 1st 2023: Survivor Series fallout feat. Randy Orton (maybe)

[Chris]

HHH signed with RAW because of Shawn Michaels (his friend we believed at the time). Batista signed with RAW to fight HHH. Don't recall the Stone Cold one to be honest.

he was free agent for the og draft in 2002, I don't remember the angle well tho but they def recruited him

 

[Chris]

You drunk?

not yet really

 

[Sabretooth]

ALDIS TOOK AN RKO!

He’s literally still an active wrestler

I mean technically not but also yes…

dudes never taken a bump with WWE. So yeah it's a big deal.

 

[Sabretooth]

yeah i said at SS that punk should go to raw and orton to smackdown

Except Punk is on SD next week

 

[Brandon Blaze]

When was that again

I’m sure like, 2002 or 2003.

 

[Sabretooth]

Stone Cold one

This was also a cutscene on Smackdown Shut Your Mouth if you played as Stone Cold

After he stunned Flair, he tried becoming McMahon and feuding with old Stine Cold and then it all got dropped when he took his ball and went home.

I'd have laughed if he accidentally grabbed the SD one instead.

So... Austin signed to stay away from his arch nemesis McMahon.... Triple H signed to stay with his best friend HBK... Batista signed to slay his nemesis. Hence why this felt more like Batista. Also their Evolution history made it more Batista to me.

Didn’t Trips beat the fuck out uh Shawn afterwards

 

[Storm Trooper]

Didn’t Trips beat the fuck out uh Shawn afterwards

like 2 weeks later. They ended the segment hugging it out.

 

[Chris]

That was part of his master plan I guess but maybe it was meant to be legit at first and HHH got jealous, I remember him being upset with HBK doing NWO shit

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah they reunited DX and Hunter turned heel on him and they feuded for like two years

HHH pedigreed HBK during the DX tease in 2002. Then like 2 months later HHH fucks up HBK in the parking garage to set up SummerSlam 2002.
