10 Times Wrestlers Couldn’t Hide What They Were Doing
9. Triple H's Barbed Wire Sleight Of Hand - Royal Rumble 2000
Triple H has done a number of divisive and controversial things in his life to get to and remain in the various positions he's lusted after, but this Royal Rumble decision was one of simple common sense rather than cowardice.
Thinking better of taking the brunt of a barbed wire baseball bat as a legendary street fight moved through the gears, 'The Game' smartly switched the real one for a prop after the brawl spilled to the arena floor. It allowed for Foley to batter the body and face of the WWE Champion with the Hollywood version after the audience had already witnessed the real thing ripping at his skin and t-shirt.
Ironically enough, this well-thought-out avoidance of one sharp object wasn't enough to get Hunter out of there injury-free. Impaled in the calf by a shard of broken wood, he worked through significant pain and damage that even a bit of forethought couldn't have covered.
