- A guy who is safe enough to work with Taker and not hurt possible future matches, when he hasn't had a match in a year (bye Wade)
There, you're not deeming him as a safe enough worker, which would automatically classify him as a dangerous worker.
I didn't say he was dangerous, as he has only hurt one person by my count in Henry when he was first brought to Raw. I said he was still a bit green even now, which is true as his strikes still can be sloppy and he does have awkward pauses in his matches when it isnt a guy like Randy or Bryan in there to keep it flowing. Watch HHH actually work that match again and those so called dangerous spots. Taker was never dropped for one second on the shoulder he had Tommy John surgery on and came back early from rehabbing. Trips took air deadman to pretect that shoulder in a totally different way than anyone else normally does. HHH even altered the Pedigree to stop him from hurting that shoulder which wasn't healed. Doing stuff like Trips did takes experience, percission, and can't be replicated by a number of people. It isn't a slight to say he just isn't that level of good in the ring, and that there are far better and crisper in ring workers than him, to work with Taker who will have rust and is coming off surgery into the secondary main event of the card. Do you two really believe Wade could actually outwork HHH?
Nobody is saying he could outwork HHH, so I don't see why that is relevant. That would be like saying, oh HHH can't outwork HBK so he shouldn't face Taker at Mania either.
For me, the simple fact of the matter is HHH/Taker 3 does absolutely nothing for nobody. It's not even as if it's a rubber match where they are tied to add intrigue to the match. Undertaker beating HHH to go 20-0 doesn't hold any extra signifance because like I just mentioned he's already beaten him twice previously. HHH winning does nothing for anybody else either other than his own personal ego as he has a storied career and has all but hung up his boots.
Putting Barrett in there would be a positive move for the FUTURE and would create a certified main eventer despite him losing. Question Taker's vulnerability after his long layoff and put over the Barrett barrage and him being a credible threat to the streak. Give the people a reason to care and the impression that the streak is under threat.
You seem to have the exact same mindset the WWE has, which is why guys never seem to advance to credible main eventers. I mean for god sake, THE ROCK vs JOHN CENA is the main event and people will buy the PPV solely for that so grow a pair of balls and take a chance for once, otherwise Mania will roll around again next year and we'll end up having to rely on a broken down Undertaker vs another established / brought back main eventer.
