WWE Matches That Were PAINFUL To Watch
2. Triple H Vs Randy Orton (WrestleMania 25)
Lots of painfully boring WWE main events can be put down to arrogance.
Arrogance of the company for trying to get away with booking something so turgid. Arrogance of those with final say in the creative direction for thinking what they’ve just signed off on was good enough for the biggest contest on the show. And arrogance of the wrestlers for - driven by ego that is evidently necessary to make it - agreeing and/or suggesting that something go the distance even if they don’t really have the toolbox to make it so.
The last one is the most forgivable of the lot, but then is it as simple as that when you’re Triple H or Randy Orton in 2009?
WWE had beaten generations of fans over the heads with the supposed brilliance of both men despite ‘The Game’s one great year being a decade earlier and Orton’s still being over a decade away, yet here they were in that not-so-sweet spot grabbing holds on the biggest stage of the year as a blood feud payoff that also had to follow one of the company’s greatest matches ever.
The arrogance of the aforementioned men to make any of this booking a reality, when to most of the known world it wasn't even a fantasy.
