I loved that episode of Raw where Triple H tried to wrestle Axel and Vince kept stopping the match was hillarious and one of the few raws of that time period that stand out in my rubbish memory

Who's idea was it to write this angle? Trips looked like SHIT in it. If the intent really was to have Vince and Stephanie come out to beg HHH to stop wrestling for his own good, and HHH to do a "No, I must continue to wrestle, because love This Business so much!" bit, I feel safe in assuming it was HHH's idea. The only downside to it not happening is there's a chance it could have bombed and gotten the opposite reaction, like his begging for cheers and getting a "You Tapped Out!" chant instead.

I went to Raw the next week and despite them showing us all night that we'd have an update, we got absolutely no payoff at all. Later that night, I come on here to find out that the graphics and video packages they shoved down our throat were all for Michael Cole to mention, "He's fine and coming back next week" as a quick aside during someone's jobber entrance. Drove me nuts.

How did he get concussed? Can't remember.

I was there for that show. It was as about as awkward/strange as it was on TV.

I did love that HHH who works through legit injuries that would likely make most of us collapse and curl up into a ball, stops matches only for fake injuries.

It should have been Heidenreich instead of Curtis Axel. We were all thinking it.

How did he get concussed? Can't remember. Supposedly during his cage match with Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2013. Lesnar popped HHH in the face with his own sledgehammer after Heyman dropped HHH with a low blow. Make of that what you will.

Having suffered a concussion during that time that brought some depression and other shit side effects, that angle bothered me, also it was in poor taste because of all the former wrestlers that are f***ed up now because of CTE.
Putting that aside, I never believed the angle because I just didn’t see Axel as a main eventer.

Amazing how it's 2018 and this angle of his family begging him to stop this shit fits even more now...

the whole "look how brave triple H is, fighting through a concussion" thing was never going to age well.

Man who thought it was a good idea to make Paul Heyman’s new guy Curtis f***ing Axel?
I can’t think of a more generic wrestler on the roster. Seriously. They paired him up with Cesaro soon after this and it SHOULD have worked but they spent all their time putting over Brock Lesnar while Cesaro stood in the background like a f***ing goon. It makes me sad because Cesaro was red hot during this period and they could have built up a Brock/Cesaro match.
