BORING. Wrestling is different to boxing, do NOT compare the two.
Boxers have crossed over into wrestling. WWE has held boxing matches in the past. The fact is the common theme in wrestling, boxing, and UFC is selling the fight. You don't have to give away a damn thing early by letting guys get in a scuffle. You simply don't have to at all depending on the magnitude of the names involved, and there are no names bar Cena bigger than HHH and Taker in the company. They sell themselves, the fans love and respect them, and the general public buys what they are selling. What sense does it make to give it away for free?

It doesn't plain and simple, much like it make no damn sense for Rock to be on any Raw live before the go home show for WM. And even then it makes no sense for he to physically touch Cena and Miz when you know that you are selling fans on the $65 dream of them doing it. The same goes for King and Cole as it currently stands.

Triple H has beaten down Sheamus and Ted Dibiase, both times by getting an early cheap shot in. I take it he's going to give Taker a low blow during his entrance too?
Likely, maybe even an early hammer shot as well.

Does anyone want to put talent over? I really hope Ted's getting a run for this beating.

I can't ever recall Taker getting his entrance disrupted so that would be epic and HHH may get booed out the building for the first time in a while.

Okay. Sure. Now talk about the particular build for this particular match.

Monday: HHH comes out. "I'm going to break your streak. I'll die trying."

Friday: Undertaker comes out. "You can't beat me. The streak will live forever."

THIS ISN'T HYPE IT'S A BROKEN FUCKING RECORD

Was a rhetorical question, and no, he won't. What I'm saying is that he needs to get in cheap shots on Sheamus and Dibiase? Look them in the face and beat the fuck out of them. If you're going to bury them for no reason, at least do it right, jesus.

Wrestling is different to boxing, in wrestling they build up matches differently. They won't give anything away by having HHH and Taker brawl. Don't be a fucking idiot.

Why are you bringing The Rock into this? I never said anything about The Rock.

You forgot the key ingredient to this magnificently built feud.
