I imagine he was supposed to feud with Gunther for Mania. That's why Gunther is in booking purgatory right now

>>16762003
they had this nigga jobbing to bron every week, it would have taken some turnaround to get him in the world heavyweight scene. not that i don't want to see WHC ilja but the way they were using him does not indicate that. he injury was in a match against gunther though.

>>16762003
What? Ilja got injured like 6 months ago. Are you under the impression that HHH is so incompetent that he can't switch to a different match for Gunther with 6 months, hell even 3 months, advance notice?

>>16762003
>Ilja vs Gunther at mania
HOLY
FUCKING
CRINGE
Gunther walking into Mania with the strap is bad enough but running a superindy match for Mania would be megagrim

>>16763688
I don’t know where you got 6 from but Ilja got injured about 3 months ago which, knowing Triple H and how much he likes to book months in advance and drag shit out, could throw a wrench into a lot of plans

>>16763778
Styles and Nakamura are both galaxies better than Walter or Midget but yes that was a dumb match to do too

>>16763778
AJ and nak were apparently not allowed to put on the match they actually wanted to and had to follow vince's retarded directions for it, HHH would definitely allow these two to do whatever

>>16761559
there's legit no life signs or updates from him. not on his social media or anywhere else. is he gonna show up with a full grown beard and a homeless look or what

>HHH would definitely allow these two to do whatever
And that's a bad thing
