Marking Out: The Skank Juice and Hell Comes to Miami for Triple H/ Undertaker
This week in the WWE already has been a barn burner with huge implications regarding a couple of the big story lines heading into Wrestlemania 28.
What started the show was a vignette and what appears to be the heel turn for Eve, the “girlfriend” of Zack Ryder. She told the Bellas that she was only using Ryder in order to work her way up the food chain of the WWE.
It was a great job by WWE of creating a gimmick, a ring rat, that fans have not seen in a while, especially younger fans. The ring rat was not in the typical sense of the term, but rather someone who is attempting to raise her value in the company through the person that she is seeing.
She would ultimately get caught by John Cena, her next target. Cena would then go on to give a promo, running down Eve, saying that she has been using her assets to further her career. The promo was indicative of Cena's promos when he had his rapper gimmick. It was great to see that kind of swagger out of Cena in comparison to what we have become accustomed to from him.
Yet the bigger story this week is the announcement that Triple H and the Undertaker will meet for a third time and the second year in a row at Wrestlemania. While the back-and-forth for this year's match didn't have the panache that last year's wordless staredown had, it still was interesting to watch the Undertaker play into Triple H's ego in competition with Hunter's friend, Shawn Michaels.
Then Triple H drops the bombshell, saying that the only way he would face the Undertaker again would be if it was in Hell in a Cell. That was when this ho-hum idea of a trilogy became an incredible idea. While many are wondering if Triple H has a big enough ego to be the one to end the streak, this move to put both wrestlers in the cell is brilliant marketing.
If you look back at the history of the Hell-in-a-Cell match, there are no two wrestlers who have as much experience or more wins than the Undertaker (11 cell matches with five wins) and Triple H (eight cell matches with six wins). With both of their histories, the match becomes more ambiguous and believable for the fans because now the match has that air of either man can win.
And with his long career that includes being involved in so many first-match types like Hell in a Cell, and casket and inferno matches, among others, I see no better a way for the Undertaker to go out. While it most likely won't be as physical as his cell matches against Shawn Michaels or Mankind, expect this match to be a great farewell to the Deadman, win or lose.
