Stephanie/Angle Secretly Aligned Posted by Matt Boone on October 04, 2000 Stephanie McMahon and Kurt Angle Aligned Easily noticed on RAW, Stephanie McMahon "accidentally" made Triple H, her own husband lose his #1 contender match with his bitter rival and Stephanie's so called "friend only" gain that position as #1 contender. Then again this week on the SmackDown SPOILERS came out and interefered in Angle's match giving him the win. However I won't ramble about past occurances, but the Stephanie/HHH break-up questioning has hit a new level as their marriage's stability has sunk to new depths. No Mercy looks to be the mark in which Stephanie and HHH call it quits, or Stephanie turns on HHH to fly high with Kurt Angle. This would boost Angle's heel status, and gain HHH's pop status all in one shot. Not to mention run as a good angle. It's more than likely we'll see Stephanie "accidentally" helping Angle acheive success more and more as the weeks go by. Some say since Angle is #1 contender, Stephanie could help him win the title at No Mercy against the Rock, that being the cherry on top so to speak as Stephanie/Kurt reveal their alignment. Looks good in writing, but everytime it appears as though Stephanie/HHH are done for, they burst through the obsticles standing in their way. WWF News/Rumors: Kurt Angle Gimmick Change Posted by Jeff Sciullo on October 04, 2000 Kurt Angle Shooting Off - Kurt Angle has really shot into the spotlight the past few months, and he does not want to stop now. Kurt Angle's, like many others, ultimate goal is the World Title. Lately, WWF is thinking that Kurt Angle's Gimmick is getting old. They are thinking about turning him to a full fledge heel. He is heel right now, but alot of the fans still like his cocky attitude. WWF does not want to change it right away though, they want the Triple H/Angle/Steph love triangle to stop first. WWF News: Stephanie McMahon Posted by Dan Dante on October 04, 2000 ~Triple H/Stephanie Struggle Continues~ As expected, the Triple H/Stephanie/Kurt Angle storyline was further built up on this past RAW is WAR. As RAW is WAR went off the air, Stephanie was knocked off the apron, leading to Triple H turning his back on Kurt Angle in order to check on his wife. Next, Kurt Angle put The Game through the Olympic Slam from behind for the win. Right before RAW is WAR went off the air, Triple H was clearly shouting at Stephanie for once again coming down to the ring when he told her to stay backstage. With No Mercy now only three weeks out, it is expected that the WWF will either begin to continue heavily hyping up the Triple H/Kurt Angle feud, or the WWF may push a Triple H/Chris Benoit feud going into No Mercy. Evidence pertaining to that feud is obviously Chris Benoit's two attacks on Stephanie McMahon in the past two weeks. In short, look for Triple H to continue feuding with either Chris Benoit or Kurt Angle. News on Rock, HHH, Angle, Stephanie, Trish, and More Posted by Matt Boone on October 05, 2000 WWF News/Notes Angles and Storyline Updates Many WWF fans are wondering the whereabouts of the current angle going on involving Triple H and Kurt Angle, and whom Stephanie McMahon really wants to align herself with. For a while Trish Stratus was throwing herself into this angle as she tryed to "putting the moves" on an un-interested Kurt Angle. As Stephanie was forced to choose between husband Triple H and "friend only" Kurt Angle at WWF's last pay-per view broadcast, "Unforgiven" she made her choice as she low-blowed Angle giving husband Triple H thw in only to have Triple H force a bloody mouthed kiss on her. She appeared disgusted and upset at his actions and since has "accidentally" helped Kurt Angle to #1 contendership status for the WWF world title, currently held by the Rock. Many have blown this over not thinking much about it as Triple H yelled at her and then turned his back and walked away from her this past Monday on RAW is War. This week on the SmackDown! Spoilers Stephanie again helps Kurt Angle win his match for the show. Look for this sort of deal to continue in up coming weeks, showing Stephanie help Angle to success week in and week out until No Mercy hits where she is rumored to help Angle win the WWF world title from The Rock, whom is shooting his own movie, "Scorpion King" in the near future. Rock is scheduled to lose the WWF title in many viewers eyes and it appears the scnerio will be that of a boost to the Angle/Stephanie alignment as Stephanie is highly expected to make her much anticipated turn on Triple H for her alignment with Kurt Angle. This isn't officially confirmed by any major source, but looks likely with the ingredients involved. Whatever the case may be, definitely look for Stephanie to help Angle in the next few weeks to success leading into an anticipated turn of events at No Mercy. On a small side note, Trish Stratus' involvment with this feud appearingly was waved and will be no more as it looked as though WWF had plans for her to be a deciding factor in this angle, but appeared to have gone another route with this one.
