10 Examples Of WWE Punishment Booking
6. Triple H
Triple H's hand in the infamous Madison Square Garden Curtain Call inevitably landed him in hot water with WWE officials.
Despite the rumours, though, his one-and-a-half minute defeat to Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania XII - a few weeks before the incident - was completely unrelated.
His real punishment would come later (read: after it actually happened) when he began a long losing streak, laying down for the likes of Marc Mero, Jake Roberts, Ahmed Johnson, Savio Vega, and Barry Windham in mid-1996.
Stone Cold took the King of the Ring crown instead, but HHH's superstar potential would eventually see him resume winning ways, and he sealed an Intercontinental title victory not six months later.
WWE couldn't afford to lose yet another star to its rivals, after all.
