10 Wrestlers Who Were Punished For Obeying Orders

10. Triple H - Takes The Rap After The Kliq Are Allowed To Bring The Curtain Call To Life By The Boss

There's not much more to add when discussing just how monumental the infamous "Curtain Call" was in terms of shaping and shifting how fans viewed the wrestling business for years to come. And while many were quick to point the finger at The Kliq for going into business for themselves and destroying a facade generations before them had been protecting for decades, the truth is a little more complicated than that.

Behind the scenes in 1996, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was said to have given the green light to a "farewell" ceremony of sorts at a Madison Square Garden show as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were soon to be departing the company. What soon transpired clearly wasn't what the boss had in mind, though. Yet, with Shawn Michaels acting as the promotion's poster boy and the other two top level guys saying "sayonara!" McMahon only had one option when dishing out some punishment in response to the incident: bury The Game.

Triple H's time in the doghouse didn't last that long, admittedly, but the record will always show that he was knocked down a peg for simply following through with a farewell that McMahon had approved in advance.
