Getting squashed in a minute and a half in your WrestleMania debut can't bode well for a career to come. Not only that, but managing to hit your brutal finishing move along the way only to have it completed ignored compounds that fear. This is exactly what happened to the man we know as Triple H, way back at WrestleMania XII.

His opponent was he returning Ultimate Warrior, and Hunter was the mid-card heel designated to take the squash on that night in 1996. Hunter attacks straight away before Warrior can take his coat off, kicking him in the gut and hitting the Pedigree right in the middle of the ring.

Warrior merely shook it off, popped up, got his two or three moves in an put his foot on Hunter for the 1-2-3. It could have been the end for HHH, but he seemed to do okay in the end.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
