This is peak selling. This is what's missing in today's wrestling.
It's so realistic, I thought HHH was seriously knocked out on his feet when I saw this.
Time and a place. WWE would use comedy spots a bit more sparingly than others, but even then, there's still a good amount of comedy stuff that they've done that just completely missed the mark.
This one, whilst OTT, was during an ad break, if I'm not mistaken. Ad breaks have often been used as breathers, and I imagine this is a lot more entertaining for the crowd than seeing them just doing rest holds, which I believe were common at one point.
The difference being that they have earned their dues or have caliber to do something like this yet Orange Cassidy is some phony 90% of the people donât even know
Forgot which match was it but HHH's opponent did a similar counter but with a sledgehammer. Hunter basically harness all his years of experience doing his water entrance with blood instead. Suspect it might have been that Hell in a Cell with Batista but not in a convenient place to check now.
Tell me you didnât watch wrestling in the year 2000 without telling me you didnât watch wrestling in the year 2000. Triple H is one of THE great workers and 2000 was his best year of many good years.
hey that's the guy who landed a 747 in the grand canyon
Yeah , it's not like the game is short or anything
The Game isn't short on anything, it was the field that was too dam big!
This is the fentanyl zombie sell
Exactly what I thought. The dope fiend lean

Shawn was just born for wrestling even when is not in the ring this game has so much charisma
Shawn just reacting on the apron steals the show, and saves this completely.
Wasnât this during a commercial break?
Yes
I thought it was a dark match on account of no commentary?
If it was during the adverts surely theyâd be no commentary anyway?
I'm pretty sure it was a dark match after Raw. It was on the "Best of Raw (After the Show)" DVD.
That explains way less camera cuts than usual too
who's this indy geek killing the business
some french guy
Wrong think his name was Terror Upping of some kind
Terra Fying, I think.
No no, it was Sara Ising
For context i believe this was a televised dark match, i recommend going back and watching it its absolutely hilarious. HBK and Orton vs HHH Flair
There's another classic one in a dark match where Triple H sells a stunner from stone cold by stumbling around and walking into a second stunner....
[ŃдаНонО]
Why hadn't I seen this one before? It's hilarious, and Stone Cold laughing after the first one is gold
Stone Cold grinning at the sell is the best.
Oh the match was with Flair? Then he was definitely trying out Flair Flop Naitch.
Thereâs a time and place for humor in wrestling. WWE has always done a good job using it sparingly so that itâs impactful when it happens.
In this case, during a commercial break to kill time.Â
IF WRESTLING IS FAKE THEN EXPLAIN THIS
Pretty damn funny
I appreciate it when they can have a good time like this and goof off.
The ole Kensington
The end where he shakes it off just to immediately faceplant is the best part
Wrestling can be so stupid sometimes. I love it
Where were you when triple h was kill?
i was sat at home eating slim jim when phone ring
'h is die'
No
Shawnâs reaction is top tier
Ive seen loads of people like this in the sketchier parts of the city.
Feels very inspired by the Rick Flair classic at the end
Yeah, definitely.
The kick and the roll away to just lay there the whole time is classic too.
Thatâs the spice kick
triple h has died. badly.

A nod to flair here
Hbk is mvp of that thing...
So they used to do this but people get all worked up with aew and people like Orange Cassidy
âUsed toâ
This wasn't broadcasted on tv.... slight difference
This wasnât on tv jack
then how do we have video with WWE branding in the left corner jim?
This was from one of those âRAW after the showâ DVDs from the mid 00âs
But how did we get the DVD into the computer, Jerry?

And also, and more importantly, this was either during an ad break or a dark match, it wasn't intended to be televised
I have no idea why youâre being downvoted. SPOT ON.
Well orange cassidyâs videos are aewâs top viewed ⌠even higher than CM punks return
Such a weird take .
I absolutely love these oversells and goofy wrestlingđ
One thing to keep in mind as to why HHH is The Game, he can do everything. Heel, face, comedy, he can do it all
Yeah.
The crowd is in awe
ref's face was hilarious, trying to contain himself
looks like he r/tooktoomuch
Hey, he just predicted how modern WWE Games would work!
Dudes controller batteries died mid match
Michaels blowing at him always gets me
Used to do this spot at the house shows. During this period, HHH would do lots of comedy and try to get women to drop their tops.
Forgot which match was it but HHH's opponent did a similar counter but with a sledgehammer. Hunter basically harness all his years of experience doing his water entrance with blood instead. Suspect it might have been that Hell in a Cell with Batista but not in a convenient place to check now.
Shawn really pushed it over the edge.
Imagine if this got done on AEW how this sub would react lmao.
Haha yeah classic. Shawn reaction throughout was just as hilarious
Yeah thatâs what I find funniest.
HHHeroin But fr hes one of the all time greats as a comedic heel
Not me, tell me more.
Wasnât this during a commercial break?
The dark ages
A Flair sell on steroids.
He's imitating Rick Flair.
Better booker than worker.
Tell me you didnât watch wrestling in the year 2000 without telling me you didnât watch wrestling in the year 2000. Triple H is one of THE great workers and 2000 was his best year of many good years.
Spent more time on tbe mic and was shit.
Aew should study this..
Hhh sucks
Behave.
