Remember that Triple H/Axel concussion angle?

[Deleted]

Here's what Meltzer said at the time

"Regarding the HHH angle, apparently the working idea is to lead to Stephanie, Vince (and perhaps even the kids) going on television and begging HHH to stop wrestling for fear of the damage it has already caused him. As of right now, one story we were told is that several family members will be on television when it comes time for his return. However, another source said there are several different ideas and nothing is certain on where the angle is going."

Man, that was bad angle from all sides.

And the ultimate payoff was... Uh... Somehow this led to Triple H seeing Vince as in the right in saying Bryan wasn't fit to be a main eventer. Hell if I know.

Remember that time Axel beat Cena in a no DQ match by count out?

And at the same time Dolph Ziggler and Christian were out with Concussions too.

[Gerard Gerard]

And now we sufficiently reflected on the gross timing of HHH's concussion angle, let's all take a moment to dwell on the HUH?!-ness of the "Curtis Axel: Paul Heyman Guy" push.

Didn't Axel get like 2 DQ wins and they tried to play it up as big time and that shit didn't matter for f*** all

Yeah that's what happened. He used that momentum to hold the IC Title for 5 months.

Remember that? He was IC Champion for FIVE MONTHS.

Wait a min. FIVE MONTHS??? Lmao nah it was really that long?

Also didn't he only get the title because Fandango got injured too?

We missed out on that HHH/Axel Ironman match.

Yep. He won it in June and lost it in November to Big E.

Fandango was riding high off that Jericho victory. Who knows what would have happened with him lol.

[Hit Girl]

I remember he made Axel look like a complete arsehole for absolutely no reason at all, then shifted the attention of the angle to himself for equally no reason and no payoff.

Yeah... "missed out on."

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Imainge if they hadn't dropped this story and had instead continued on with it; no Authority for all of the many things that come with those words. Such a weird, dumb, out of place storyline could have changed the course of modern WWE's product

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

So I am used to bald H, still get a bit weirded out by Hippie Wet Head H, but 'I've cut my hair but not committed yet' H is still strange for me to see.

Who's idea was it to write this angle? Trips looked like SHIT in it.

[Venti]

They ain't the only ones begging HHH to stop wrestling.

Shout out to the guy with the Mary Katherine Gallagher impression.

[KobashiChop]

Oh yeah, the milking of the NFL concussion story. Lord knows why they went for that.

No we didn't. We got to see Curtis Axel beat Triple H in a 60 minute Iron Man match IN RECORD TIME!
