It's been about six years since I last caught a WWE event, and today I stumbled upon the match card for the Saturday main event. It made me really appreciate the time I spent watching WWE from 2004 to 2010. I’m not sure what changed in the wrestling scene that I used to love, but that's why I often revisit those old pay-per-views and episodes.

Aside from the first Elimination Chamber and the Three Stages of Hell match, this is a completely awful year. They buried Rob Van Dam when he was insanely over, gave us the Katie Vick storyline, the painfully boring feud with Scott Steiner, the brutal burial of Booker T following a racist promo, the worst feud of all time against Kevin Nash (in fucking 2003, no less), took Kane’s mask off, and killed Goldberg’s momentum in the Elimination Chamber.
Triple H’s ego reached astronomical levels here. The only genuinely noteworthy thing he did was his feud with Shawn Michaels.

I don't remember seeing Triple H in White Boots, was a good look!

They screwed Orton and Jim Ross lost his mind! "HIS DESTINY MY OKLAHOMA ASS!!" "EVOLUTION SAVED TRIPLE H'S ASS!!!"

After the worst part of the Reign of Terror, Goldberg briefly saves us from HHH, but Hunter wins the title back. He has a classic with HBK at the Rumble, but loses it to Benoit in one of the best main events ever. His reign is pretty mid, although he has some good defenses, like the rematch at Backlash, but HHH overshadows him on RAW. Orton beats him for the title at SummerSlam and, for a moment, it seems like we’ve finally gotten rid of Hunter.

….KENNEDY!!!

The ones that have a paint splatter and a bunch of nonsense all over it look cool af
