10 Wrestling Matches That Seriously Took The Piss
6. Triple H Vs Scott Steiner (WWE Royal Rumble 2003)
Regardless of the political machinations at play, loads of Triple H's criminally boring and destructive Reign Of Terror title matches between 2002 and 2005 went long and dull at the expense of his opponents, giving the viewer with a dim view of the product as a whole. This in turn cut the legs out from underneath many of his opponents, leaving only 'The King Of Kings' above the rest.
Look no further than Scott Steiner to see how he'd get things done.
'Big Poppa Pump' was bursting with his requisite muscle mass and charisma upon his late-2002 debut, but was hiding a nasty case of drop foot syndrome, a condition that reduced his in-ring prowess to nearly naught. The meatheads masked the problem in an old school d*ck-measuring build-up, but the veil was lifted when they butted heads at the 2003 Royal Rumble.
It killed the 'Big Bad Booty Daddy's WWE career. For 18 excruciating minutes, an exhausted Steiner sucked the oxygen from the building with an almost-exclusive repertoire of desperate suplexes, panicked as he was at being able to do little else. The match was an utter disaster, but went to a non-finish to allow for a misjudged rematch the next month. The act of the art is to make each other look good in combat. As Champion, locker room leader and company vet, Hunter allowed his new colleague to see himself right back out the door.
