10 Awesome Wrestling Insults That Nobody Ever Talks About

10. CM Punk Checkmates Wrestling's Best Ever Chess Player

Triple H is a divisive performer with a complicated legacy blah blah blah, f*ck that, he wrestles for 25 minutes when he shouldn't be wrestling at all.

When WWE claimed that Super ShowDown was equivalent to or perhaps exceeds WrestleMania, perhaps they were referring to the deathly silent crowd reaction that greeted his interminable epics against his old Evolution stablemates. That's a subjective take, but surely, most can unanimously agree that Triple H is a defensive and insecure performer. He doesn't much like getting upstaged because deep down, underneath the the motorcycle c*ck extension thrones, he knows that he was the Attitude Era's B+ Player.

CM Punk knew this, and despite his own sense of self-worth, had far more of a sense of humour about him. And so, when the two men traded barbs in the Utter Bullsh*t 2011 Summer of Punk, he used self-deprecating charm to get one over on Trips, knowing full well that his opponent had nothing packed in that particular chamber.

"How did your movie do, by the way?" Triple H asked.

"Oh, mine went straight to DVD, just like yours."

An insincere look crept over Triple H's face, knowing that Punk was better at him at this goalpost-moving stuff. It was a loaded expression, because he hadn't just lost a battle of wits: Punk treated his movie shoot as a vacation from the grind, and Triple H treated his as a bid to become The Rock's musclebound, wise-cracking successor.
