While reading this thread, I got the mental image of John Goodman pulling a gun on whoever runs the WWE website, telling him to pull up WWE Title History and yelling "MARK IT ZERO!"

I completely forgot about the Sheamus debacle. That pissed me off too and I wasn't even a Sheamus fan then.

I never understood the Goldberg complaint. Not just this one, but when Nash beat him too. In both cases, he was still booked as totally unstoppable. It required a taser to end the streak and he looked like a beast in the EC and had to be taken out with a sledgehammer. He would get his revenge both times too. Was Goldberg supposed to never lose? He wasn't even that good. He was reckless and couldn't talk.

Though it has been mentioned in this thread, vs. Booker T @ WrestleMania is the one that really comes to mind. Couple questions: How many times did HHH beat HBK in all of their encounters from 2002-2004? Was it a good idea for HHH to walk out as champion at WreslteMania 2000?

They could have salvaged Goldberg's WWE tenure if they put the title on him at SummerSlam. But they just HAD to wait one more month...

He wasn't even that good. He was reckless and couldn't talk. While I do agree, again WWE booked themselves in a corner. They signed Goldberg to a one year contract. So during that time, they wanted to build, give him the title, lose the title and put someone over during that one year. That's a ton to get done, at least a 2 year contract would justify giving him a title reign. I think a major issue a lot of people had with Trips winning at the time, was that Goldberg could've taken the title sooner and it wouldn't have made a major difference. We have to remember that Triple H was in rough shape at this time, he was grotesquely out of shape and injured his groin, severely limiting what he could do. Why doesn't he drop the title at the Chamber and take a couple months off? For the record, I HATED Goldberg during this time, but I can understand other people's issues since Triple H was oozing his way through feuds and making the championship look embarassing. That said, I don't think I was ever as pissed as I was when he beat Booker at Wrestlemania. They went and took their most over face on Raw and just ruined all his credibility in one fell swoop. It didn't help that Trips was pulling out wrestling holds like the Indian Death Lock, which he almost never used. If you're going to introduce a move, it should be a face doing it, not a heel.

His win over Booker.T at Mania, horrible build and an even worse finish to the bout.
The Summerslam match with Goldberg grindes my geara because they should've struck while the iron was hot, instead he gets the belt in a match where the stip gave away the finish (Goldberg retires if he loses and HHH loses the belt if he's DQed) the crowd was pretty flat for it.

Randy Orton at WrestleMania 25. Not even remotely true. Considering the story going in and the fact that it was the main event of WrestleMania, Triple H had to win that match. The correct move was also done with him dropping the title at the next show

The Londrick attack annoys me so much because they could have turned it into something. Or how about he just doesn't Pedigree them and they get a rub? Why you would bury two guys(the longest reigning tag champs on Smackdown btw)with ZERO payoff is just bad for business. It also made them look like total pussies for never coming back at him.
BONUS SIDE POST You know what would have made sense...Londrick as Jericho's goons during his feud with HBK instead of Lance Cade. NO ONE was ever going to care about Lance Cade.

The Austin feud. Triple H had absolutely no earthly reason to win that 3 stages of hell match. If someone can make any sense out of this over 12 years since it took place please let me know. Absolutely not true. That is an example of a feud Triple H rightfully won, and built an absolutely perfect story. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 25. Not even remotely true. Considering the story going in and the fact that it was the main event of WrestleMania, Triple H had to win that match. The correct move was also done with him dropping the title at the next show The problem is that Orton was absolutely on fire at the time. This was the hottest he's ever been, and if you want to push him as this super hot heel, this was the way to do it. His momentum died down after that night, and Triple H never really benefited from it anyway.

Triple H had to win that match based on the story involved, but Orton's character was on top of the world at the time so him losing any match wasn't a good idea. If the match didn't suck, I think less people would have had a problem with it

Minor incident when compared to other things listed here, but I remember a Raw a few years ago where it was the go-home show before a PPV and Trips (who I don't think was doing anything of note) was against Cena (who was going into a fairly high-profile match). Logic SCREAMS that Cena should've gone over so that he would have momentum going into his PPV match, but Trips went over cleanly. Annoyed the hell out of me.

The WM match with Booker T is the one that sticks with me. It's not even that Trips won the match, it was the manner in which it was played out; first, the whole "racism" element as totally unnecessary in the lead up, and for Booker to go down to one Pedigree and have to lay KO'd on the same night it took Austin and Hogan multiple tries to put their opponents down really did reek of burial. Booker should have at least been allowed to get his heat back after the match.

That time he destroyed Ted DiBiase in 2011 That time he destroyed Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett in 2013 It did give us that hilarious GIF of H kicking Barrett in the nards.

Seriously though, here is what I come up with:
Booker T: First a foremost. When people talk about Triple H burying people this is what they usually mean. Booker was supposedly considering retiring at the time, which is all well and good, but you don't make the man look like shit the entire feud and then squash him in the blow off match. Even if he was going to retire, that's the note you were going to send him out on? "lol, you're not good enough because you're black!"
Jeff Hardy: Hardy spends half a year chasing the title from Triple H only for Edge to get hot shotted into the feud and be the one that Hardy wins the title off of.
CM Punk Now that it's been a year and a half, I can officially say that the feud was stupid as hell.

That one PPV a while back where he faced Orton and beat him for the belt, then beat Umaga, then lost to Orton, giving him the belt back and injuring him.
Why the f*** did they need to have him win it in the first place if he's just going to lose it again the same night? To boost the amount of times he's won it? Pissed me off back then, still does now.

Booker T.
Anyway, I'd also say his last man standing match with Jericho in 2000. Jericho was over as hell at that point, and should have gotten retribution for the State College incident. Nope.
