WWE: 10 Most Inventive Big Match Match Finishes Ever

6. Chris Jericho vs. Triple H 'Slow Count From Hell'

The Finish: During a world title match between Triple H and Chris Jericho on Raw, Earl Hebner gets fed up with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's constant bullying, takes matters into his own hands, shoves Triple H, gets knocked out, then wakes up just in time to count Jericho's pinfall and World Title win. However - it turns out that the count was a little too fast, and through some bullying and appealing to Hebner's morality compass, Hebner admits he perhaps counted too fast out of spite, and the match's result is voided, resulting in a re-match later on in the night that Triple H ultimately won. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMFyeoVmqcg The Impact: This is an example of a inventive booking idea that was designed to piss off the fans and put massive amounts of heat on Triple H, and it worked. While this wasn't a 'big' match, the implications of Triple H losing the title, Jericho winning it, and Hebner ultimately being forced to reverse his decision made the entire series of events feel epic and impactful, despite them all taking place in the span of a single episode of Raw. Beyond that, Triple H has always been good at engineering inventive ways to generate heat during his matches. The ultimate impact of this finish led to more hatred on Triple H for 'holding people down' which is exactly what the company wanted at the time.
