8 Wild & Unscripted WWE Moments That Made Matches Better
1. Triple H's Other Quad Injury Creates A Beautiful Brawl
The first time that Triple H suffered a quad tear in 2001, the only real silver lining to come out of it was that his injury allowed him to miss the majority of the terrible Invasion angle, which tainted pretty much anyone who was involved.
The second quad injury, however, culminated in what remains possibly the greatest improvised ending to a match ever featured on WWE programming.
During a tag team match against Rated RKO, Triple H botches a spinebuster and rips his left quad. Unable to deliver the scripted finish, Randy Orton completely panics. Unsure of what to do, he goes to deliver a chair shot to Triple H before inexplicably bailing on it mid-swing.
The crowd smells something is amiss and seems poised to turn on everyone in the ring. That's when HBK comes through like the boss he is and basically declares "F**k it, it's time to create some ruckus", and promptly suicide dives onto Orton outside the ring to bring the crowd back into it.
From there, it's just a whirling dervish of melee, as Michaels single-handedly orchestrates one insane spot after another, dishing out chair shots left and right.
Then he tosses Triple H a chair and they both go to town while Orton gives himself a deep blade job and starts bleeding like a stuck pig.
Then, with a torn quad, Triple H manages to give Edge a Pedigree onto the announce table, which doesn't break and looks all the more painful for it. To cap it off, HBK delivers a flying elbow drop onto Orton through the other announce table.
This was the most majestic No Contest PPV match in history.
