These where 2 of my favorite wrestlers between 05-08 but they never had a long feud it seems like.


I heard Edge had heat with HHH over the Matt Hardy/Lita thing but was that the reason why Edge and HHH didn't worked together for that long?...

Same reason Punk disliked working with HHH?

Triple H is a jealous bitch. Why do you think he continues to stuck his nose in the hottest acts?

Dancing with the New Day?

Facing CM Punk when he was red hot and not putting him over.

Burying Sting at mania

Facing Brock Lesnar

Wanting a match with the rock at WM 32

Wanting a match with CM Punk at WM

3 WM matches with the Undertaker

And soon Seth Rollins will be his next target
Etc.. Etc.. Tomatoes Tomatoes

Rumor has it those two had real life animosity.

News story from 2006 on Triple H passing on a feud with Edge:

Triple H passes on feud w/ Edge (LITTLE SPOILER)
Post by born2beskinny on Jun 19, 2006, 3:46am


from lordsofpain.net

Randy Orton's permanent move to WWE RAW can be partly attributed to Triple H's decision to pass on a proposed angle with Edge, reports the Wrestling-Observer.

The now-babyface Triple H obviously needs top heels with whom to feud when his current storyline ends, and Triple H opted to first feud with Randy Orton instead of the Rated R Superstar.

Triple H's stated rationale for rejecting the feud was that "the time is not right," although no deeper motivation has been revealed. While many are criticizing HHH for his decision, he theoretically could argue that he needs to quickly defeat a heel in his first singles feud as a babyface, and Edge would lose too much face in that situation.

Edge is reportedly not too upset, as he is expected to win the WWE Championship at Vengeance and spend the summer working with John Cena in the main-event.

Story on Triple H supposedly trying to hold back Edge, 2007

Raw head writer Brian Gewirtz was credited, or blamed, depending on your point of view, for booking Shawn Michaels to pin World Heavyweight champion Edge on his last night on Raw. Gewirtz's explanation was that guy leaving the territory, or brand in this case, has to job on the way out.

Triple H was the power behind the move because when it was questioned, he supported it, which made it close to a done deal. There is a belief backstage that Triple H doesn't want Edge to succeed, noting that he tried to block all previous plans of him to moving to SmackDown and winning the title until Mr. Kennedy went down with an injury, and at this point he couldn't reasonably block it anymore. There was vocal opposition to Edge being pinned, saying that it makes the SmackDown title and champion look secondary. Triple H's argument was that HBK is the biggest tenured star on the brand, and he had just put over Khali, and he needs a big win because he'll be wrestling Cena on PPV again within the next few shows. On the other hand, Michaels suggested doing a non-finish, since from his perspective, the key point of the match was for him to be beat down by Randy Orton to promote their match for tonight at Judgment Day. Michaels said he didn't want to bury the SmackDown title but was told it was Vince McMahon's decision and he wasn't changing it.

As you might imagine, Edge wasn't pleased with the booking decision and he wasn't hiding his dissatisfaction backstage that night. Edge is said to be happy to move over to Smackdown because internally it's considered less political, not to mention that he doesn't have to deal with a certain wrestler as much anymore.

Also, it's been said Triple H asked Vince McMahon to fire Edge in 2005 for the Lita/Hardy scandal.

That and HHH probably thought Edge wasn't a main eventer. Back on Raw in 2013 Edge and HHH went back and fourth with Edge saying that HHH didn't think himself, Jericho or Cena would make it. HHH responded by admitting Jericho and Cena proved him wrong, but HHH said Edge is a failure.

Lol Edge had a much longer stable run in the main event scene than Chris Jericho.

Edge was all ready on fire as the Rated R Superstar prior to winning his first world title and Edge never got depushed like Chris Jericho did.

Chris Jericho didn't become a legit main eventer untill he turned heel in 2008.
Then he wen straight back to being in the midcard to feud with freakin' Fandango!

Honestly HHH has no place to judge when he was "the guy" on Raw 2002-2005 the show was fucking terrible running his mouth for 20 minutes "I am that damn good" but puts on awful main event matches burying everyone in sight atleast Edge was an entertaining Heel on Smackdown.

Triple H has wrestled Edge one-on-one on two occasions:

In 2005:



.... and at Great American Bash 2008


They never feuded much because they both excelled at being heels and they were mostly on different brands. (Triple H said so himself in his "King of Kings" DVD in 2008)

There is no "heat" between Edge and HHH. Its just another internet myth.

Best not to ask why. Best just to be glad it did not happen. I mean, wasn't Trips skeptical of Kurt effing Angle's push?

Edge would have probably looked crappy and thereby not went on a thoroughly entertaining heel run for a number of years.

I remember their short one month feud back in Smackdown when Triple H was drafted to Smackdown for a year. It was such a forgettable feud. I think Vickie was involved in it but other than that, I can't remember for the life of me what it was about and who benefited from it. It's a shame these two never properly feuded together. I'm sure HHH used his backstage powers to prevent it from it besides the short one month feud.

When they were both on Raw they had to get past super cena first, then when edge went to smackdown he was on the opposite brand. Trips didn't work tuesdays. Then when they ended the brand split with those lame raw supershows, edge wasn't pushed as a main eventer anymore. He opened the show alot.

They did have a brief run with rated rko vs dx, but it was a bit one sided in the booking. Dx was bringing in so much money for the company that they racked up the wins to send fans home happy. With cenawinslol hogging the main event at the time the company only had dx to keep fans happy.

Nose didn't want to put him over.

Triple H is just bitter and jealous, during 03-05 he was so bad has main guy that Smackdown was the better show.Thank god for Ruthless Agression Era to have brandsplit where the "honest" and hardworkers managed to avoid this guy. Edge is a better heel than H is and to be fair Edge is the one that dodged a bullet there, he was almost shot during that DX vs Rated RKO feud tho.
 
#34 ·
Yeah, Edge really dodged the bullet here. Working with HHH would have ruined him. I still think it's fucking weak that they gutted the Cena/Edge feud for HHH's bullshit Mania run. Cena/Edge should have did Mania that year. They had all of the momentum and it was unnecessary for HHH to act like Cena/HHH needed to happen that year, it didn't. Especially didn't help matters the way he tried turning the crowd against Cena every chance he had.
