Contender for the best thread of all time tbh.

There are copious amounts of pro wrestling moves that should kill or severely injure people for real but because we're conditioned to not believe they hurt people that badly in wrestling, it's fine. Wrestling is about drama, there rarely been any submission in wrestling history that has tapped people out instantly or quickly all the time.

It's not even the MMA connection though. Stephanie isn't a wrestler, she's the spoiled daughter of the CEO. If she was in there with Charlotte or Asuka or even Bayley, I'd find it equally ridiculous. I'm equally annoyed when Shane is competitive against main event level guys. It's not realistic and it's not good storytelling. Nobody buys the McMahons as tough guys.

@Hanley! is correct. Stephanie has always been presented as a weak wrestler. I am not going to suddenly start believing that she is physically strong enough to counter Ronda Rousey's armbar.

Wrestlemania 30 against Bryan: Ask yourself if this storyline would have been anywhere near as good without Triple H being the smug corporate antagonist. HELL no. When it came down to it, he put Bryan over like a million bucks.

Messiah wrote:Daniel Bryan was ridiculously over long before Triple H's involvement, which is why Triple H got involved (the theme here is that the acts are hot, which leads to Triple H sticking his hand in it). You do realize that, right? Just about any evil authority figure could have filled his role and the results would have been the same.
Messiah wrote:it isn't so much that he beat Sting so much as the fact he was in the match with him to begin with. Nobody wanted to see Triple H vs Sting. Nobody at all. But it had to be Triple H because it is always Triple H.
