Report: HBK & Triple H Unpopular In Locker Room

[John]

Among some locker room circles, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels are two of the least popular wrestlers these days. Even those who appear on SmackDown and have minimal exposure to them feel as though they are abusing their power and standing in the way of WWE elevating new stars.

The overwhelming sentiment among those in the company is that Raw's "no man's land" in the sense there are no full-fledged pushes to be had as a result of the strong influence of Hunter and Michaels, as well as Randy Orton and John Cena. Many feel if even one of these main event performers dislikes you enough to badmouth you to management, you won't be getting a push.

Seems "DX" goes back and forth on their lockerroom popularity, one day they're wanted because they stop Vince from doing alot of his stupid ideas and the next they're taking pushes away from people.

From reports I've read I think it's more Cena and Orton than DX, if I remember correctly these two have gotten at least 4 people as of late from getting a push.

Ooh there's a surprise HHH and HBK not been liked in the locker room. TBH id be more surprised to read they are liked lol. But i think Orton and Cena will have a certain amount of pull now not just DX. At the end of the day you work your way up to the level that HHH, HBK, Cena etc are at. And you get to say certain stuff it comes with being around for years and paying your dues. And you are either liked or your not. And in most cases your NOT. I imagine Undertaker and Tista have the same thing over at SD. As for pushes i think thats more down to not wanting to take chances rather than Whoever in the locker room putting a block on certain stars pushes. And Vince is the boss so if he wants to push someone he is going to no matter who says what.

^ Yeah I was going to say the same thing, and DX have put over LEgacy and others as of late. If anything it would be Orton and CEna going to management and complaining.

...And you are either liked or your not. And in most cases your NOT. I imagine Undertaker and Tista have the same thing over at SD...

I may be wrong, but I think Taker is actually liked on SD for the most part. I think he gives advice to alot of the younger guys and I remember him wanting to help push some new guy in a storyline with him but Vince decided not to do it and ended up firing the guy.

If HHH and HBK dont like you...is for a reason, and those don't getting a push should be looking at other reasons instead of DX doesn't like me.

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

is it 1995? yeah, they're unpopular in the locker room, but any time you're in a top position you're going to have haters. it isn't new news, people just don't want to speak up about it. they shouldn't blame Orton, Cena, and DX for not getting pushed, those guys are top stars for a reason.

they shouldn't blame Orton, Cena, and DX for not getting pushed, those guys are top stars for a reason.

Because they're white!! :shifty:

::GASP:: You mean two of the most established and successful people in the company's opinions are taken into consideration on matters of pushing people they deem unfit????
Of course they have pull in who should be pushed or not, they know more about the business than some fucking kid fresh out of FCW. Just like on my job... if there's a new person I don't feel is doing a good job or can't cut it, that's taken into consideration.

 

[Dylanfsd]

Yeah, DX shouldn't be taking all of the heat. Regardless if you hate HHH or not, he is a Main Eventer for a reason, same goes for HBK.

 

[CenaMark54]

Didn't they just put Legacy over?

How is DX stopping Kofi and MVP from getting pushed? If anything it is their complete lack of talent that is getting in their way, not DX.

From this report, you would think that DX had buried everyone on the roster. When in fact, they have basically elevated both Rhodes and DiBiase to upper midcard levels.

 

[CenaMark54]

If anything it would be Orton and CEna going to management and complaining.

Kennedy injured Cena and nearly paralyzed Orton. He was a sloppy no talent hack. End of story.

In addition, we should be thanking Orton for getting Manu off our television sets.

Both Orton and Cena have earned the right to voice their opinions, they are 7 year veterans and the top two guys in the company.

 

[Beer Money Army]

well MVP has not been that great in the passed 10-16 months.

 

[kingovkings]

Lets be fair its been awhile since HHH or HBK has been bashed and blamed for Stopping pushes to so called rising stars from hitting the big time. Or Burying Talent =/. So it's only fair to start bashing them again . Wonder if the I hate HHH thread starts getting some use lol. looks like Cena and Orton are the new HHH,HBK in the way the stop talent from going over, PLEEEEZE what a load of shite. At then end of the day if you cant cut it and top guy's in the business dont think you can then it's Nan a Na Na hey hey goodbye simple really. And it's not there fault it your for not been good enough.

 

[Beer Money Army]

backstage people aren't happy with HBK, Geez That is new. :shifty:
