The Game and The Kingslayer
Foley says after careful deliberation the name he has come up with is Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie says it isn’t within Foley’s power to fire her. She wants a name now! Foley says its her. She is the worst part of Raw. Six months ago, Stephanie looked him in the face and lied to him. Right now he is looking into the eyes of a really good liar and a really bad person. Stephanie tells Foley that he is weak. Foley says he will not be silence. Triple H’s music hits and he walks to the ring with a huge smile on his face.
Triple H tells Foley that if he has something to say, say it in his face. Foley says he would be more than happy to, but he didn’t know Triple H existed because he spends so much time hiding in the shadows. Triple H calls Foley a cheap little nostalgia act. Triple H says he would never have brought Foley back because he doesn’t want to look at the past. Triple H tells Foley to not mistake Stephanie’s kindness for weakness. If he isn’t careful, he will have to go back to carrying his broken down body around the U.S. to tell his stupid stories about the man he used to be.
Triple H says he knows that Foley is ok, but what about his kids? Noelle’s dream is to be a WWE Superstar and Dewy works back in the home office. Maybe Foley will be available to drive them both to the unemployment line. Triple H says Foley needs to walk up the ramp and have an epiphany. Foley needs to realize that he needs this job and the next time he sees Stephanie and she tells him to do something he better jump and ask how high. Triple H turn around. Foley pulls out Mr. Socko and locks in the mandible claw on Triple H. Stephanie low blows Foley. Triple H takes off his coat. Seth Rollins’ music hits. Rollins walks to the ring with a crutch. Triple H tells Rollins to get in the ring. Rollins holds out his crutch and drops it. Rollins runs into the ring and beats the crap out of Triple H. Triple H rolls to the outside. Triple H grabs the crutch and gets back in the ring. Triple H hits Rollins in the knee with the crutch. Triple H locks in a reverse figure four on Rollins. A group of Referees hit the ring to break it up. Rollins gets to his feet. Triple H hits Rollins in the knee with the crutch one more time for good measure.
I was not sure what the finish would be because of the uncertainty of Seth Rollins. Mick Foley’s storyline bothered me all night long, but it paid off when Seth came out to a very attitude era crowd and entrance. He dropped the crutch and unloaded on Triple H. Even more physicality and intensity was shown tonight and I really hope Seth Rollins is ready to wrestle at WrestleMania. THIS is the match most deserving to go on last, even though it won’t. We saw Rollins move around pretty fluently and fast, which is always a good sign. Triple H attacking the knee is also another way, if need be, for WWE to write the match off. I sure hope that is not the case because this was the best segment, by far, tonight.
