10 Real-Life Wrestling Feuds You Totally Didn't Know About

1. Taz Vs. Triple H

Taz's WWF run is familiar at this point: he came, he impressed, he was buried and relegated for being - goddamn it all - the wrestler that the WWF recruited.

Just imagine applying this logical to any other profession. It is insane.

"Your CV is very impressive, sir, and we look forward to helping you advance your career."

"You made an excellent first impression, sir. You lived up to your CV perfectly. But also, sir, f*ck your CV, which of course we read and were sufficiently impressed with to hire you."

Mind-boggling sh*t. But WWE weren't interested in pushing him as a mouthpiece because, instead of getting a great talker to talk, why not hire a mediocre hack to write pages of sh*tty dialogue for the talent instead?

Understandably pissed about his experiences in the Fed, Taz has never softened on his stance towards Triple H, who, being Triple H, pinned him clean in the middle in under five minutes during the brief period Taz reigned as the ECW Champion in the WWF. A pointless c*ck-stroke of a win, Taz is not shy about his dim view of the NXT head.

"[HHH] has been #1 in their INVISIBLE ranking system for years!" he tweeted in response to a fan complaining about Cody occupying a top slot in AEW's actual rankings.

And here's the difference: Triple H buried Sting in Sting's first WWE match.

Cody Rhodes hired his favourite wrestler Sting, and Sting in storylines was far more interested in aligning with Darby Allin.
