10 Worst WWE Moments Of 2000

Speaking of acting like nothing of note happened.

See above for Triple H's return on the 27 November 2000 edition of Raw. He'd only been out of action for around 8 days after being dropped from a crane by Steve Austin at Survivor Series. 'The Game' pleaded with his rival from a car before being flipped upside down and sent on a nasty ride to the pavement outside the arena, but you wouldn't have known that watching his comeback.

Stephanie McMahon had claimed on the 20 November Raw that her husband was in dire straits and receiving intense medical care. Then, the promotion said Hunter had checked out of hospital during the 23 November SmackDown, and he was back on TV like nothing had happened a few days later. So much for selling one of the year's biggest stunts then.

Triple H didn't even have any scratches, cuts or even bruises on his chiselled body. Apparently, it was no sweat to be dropped upside down in a car and potentially murdered live on pay-per-view by the dude he'd conspired to have run over in 1999. Who knew that Hunter Hearst Helmsley was actually made of titanium rather than flesh, bone and blood?

Anyone binging episodes of Raw from 2000 on the old WWE Network would've been rather confused by this miraculous recovery. It made no sense. Why would he be absolutely fine just over a full week after the incident? There should've been a creative brain drain about this sort of thing.

Logic should always matter, even in the wild and woolly world of sports entertainment.
