1. Vengeance 2001 (Triple H)
When Vengeance 2001 took place in December of that year, Triple H was expected to return from his lengthy sabbatical. Forced to miss much of the year due to a serious leg injury, the man was earmarked to play a major role on the Pay-Per-View. Closer to show time, it became clear that he wasn't quite ready to return, and wouldn't be for another month or so. Even so, the then-WWF pressed on with their advertising campaign for the show. The poster featured Triple H looking solemn but determined, resting his chin on his trademark sledgehammer. The show title gave hints that he was looking to redeem himself for missing much of 2001. Fans were desperate to embrace the man as a top babyface, but Vengeance wouldn't be the time. Triple H received a thunderous reaction in early-January when he returned on Raw. At Vengeance, Chris Jericho became the first ever Undisputed Champion, beating both The Rock and Steve Austin in one night. The 4-man joust for the gold between Austin, Jericho, The Rock and Kurt Angle was big enough, so the poster should have been changed quickly to reflect that. Instead, Triple H remained the literal poster-boy for the event, even though he wasn't involved. What other times can you think of when WWF/WWE lied to fans on Pay-Per-View posters?
