5 WWE Superstars who no-sold moves

#3 The Ultimate Warrior no-sold Triple H’s Pedigree (WWE WrestleMania 12)

In March 1996, The Ultimate Warrior squashed Hunter Hearst Helmsley (aka Triple H) at WWE WrestleMania 12 in a match that lasted just 99 seconds.

Unlike some WWE squash matches, Triple H actually had quite a bit of offense in the match. The first 30 seconds were dominated by The Game, who unleashed a flurry of punches on his opponent before landing his Pedigree finisher.

In the same way that WWE Superstars rarely recover from The Undertaker’s Tombstone, Triple H’s opponents are usually down and out after he executes the Pedigree.

However, that was not the case with The Ultimate Warrior. The former WWE Champion, who had not competed in a WWE match in over three years, suddenly got back to his feet and dominated the rest of the match.

Speaking to the American Way magazine in 2016, Triple H clarified that, contrary to what some people might think, he enjoyed losing to Warrior in such quick fashion.

“A lot of people bring it up to me as if it was a sore spot in my career. It's not. It's actually something I'm really proud of. Who can say that, in their first WrestleMania ever, they got to step in the ring with one of the biggest icons in the business?” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Warrior only competed in five more televised WWE matches before leaving the company again in June 1996.
