Didn't Triple H kill the tag division one time by coming out when the tag champs at the time (I want to say La Resistance) were about to have match and basically telling them "hit the showers, I'm more important than you," to which they complied?

Not that the division was great at that point (it wasn't) but hell, it's still recovering from being so blatantly devalued.

This is retroactive thinking from a dude who either wasn't watching at the time or never actually looked back and just repeats dumb things he reads online.

Booker beat Triple H before and after the match. The match was full of Cheap tactics and Ric Flair interferance.

Booker T was more over after the feud than before it and constantly featured on TV.

Only think that sucked was the finish with the really long delayed pin. Everything else was fine. People just want reasons to be mad at Triple H.

Ryder's was pretty bad. You had a low level jobber make a name for himself on his Internet show... so he started to get a push, only to have his heat be sapped by becoming a prop in the Cena/Kane rivalry and to put over Eve Torres as a heel, before shoving him back down to jobber status. Only now has he actually gotten back to an okay midcard level, but the effect of trying to make your own success and being firmly f***ed around with could only have been depressing for anyone backstage with hope that they could do the same.
It's "Hahaha". Not "Bahaha" or "Bwahaha". You're not a pirate or a moustache twirling villain. You're a human. Laugh like one.
I was going to say Triple H / Sting, but A.B.A. Undertaker buried the f*** out of people, namely ex-WCW guys. See also: DDP, Kronik, and lulz David Flair.
When HHH returned and beat up Sheamus on RAW in like 15 seconds. Crap end of a feud. Should have finished off with one more match. Sheamus never really recovered from that.

The entire idea that Punk didn't go over in that match just so HHH could further make the Summer of Punk all about himself made that match a burial. I know Punk put up quite a fight, but HHH still buried all of his momentum in that match.

Whether anybody liked him or not doesn't change the fact that he actually got hella over from doing his show, and he was the progenitor of WWE's sudden push into social media. Just utter bs what they did.

I'd say Cena crushing Jack Swagger just after Swag "stole" the US title from Zack Ryder. Swagger was trying to recover from his failed World title reign and playing loser sidekick to Ziggler and Vickie. This should've made him a mega heel again, but Swagger disappeared from TV, didn't feud with Ryder anymore, and was humiliated by Santino just for the hell of it.

3) Hulk Hogan buries Bret Hart at WrestleMania 9

Bret Hart takes consecutive beatings from Yokozuna, only to have Hulk Hogan come out and defeat the man who seemingly has Bret's number in under a minute.

Hogan >>> Yokozuna >>>>>>>>> Bret Hart
Transitive properties!

I don't mind Yokozuna's burial so much because it was too early for him to be in the main event anyway and Hogan made him look like a monster at King of the Ring. But poor Bret was buried so deep that it took a full year for him to recover. I really don't think his career would've ever been the same if he hadn't avenged his loss against Yokozuna at a WrestleMania. Beating him in a rematch on Raw or SummerSlam wouldn't have done it.

2) Triple H buries Sting at WrestleMania 31

This one hurt to watch. HHH didn't belong in a match against Sting and certainly shouldn't have gone over. For bonus points, the nWo ran out and one by one got their asses kicked by their DX counterparts. This whole thing was just WWE reminding us that theirs is bigger than WCW's.

1) Triple H buries Booker T at WrestleMania 19

"Someone like you."
"Dance, Booker, dance."
"Get me a towel."

The son-in-law needs an opponent to go over at WrestleMania. The only person he hasn't faced yet is the black guy. Let's make everything racial and have the bigot win. Genius!

Oh wow. I didn't really think of how many plausible choices there were. Still, gotta go with instances of an entire group being buried rather than a single performer, no matter how dumb or awful it was.

I immediately thought Nexus, because burying the up-and-coming generation of wrestlers because politics is such a boneheaded and shortsighted decision, but at the same time...

A man winning the women's rumble basically took a dump on the legacy of women's wrestling and the idea that women could BE wrestlers, at least legitimate ones. Like, women in wrestling has certainly had it's down times (Attitude Era, Divas Search, etc) but the delegitimization of an entire sex at such a grand stage makes it seem like women's wrestling had no future at all in the WWE- the only place that mattered at all to most casual wrestling fans- to be anything but a bathroom break. It makes the whole Women's Revolution idea that much more gratifying, I guess.

You can't seriously think Santino winning a women's battle royal in a blatant short-lived comedy angle was worse than the s*** that was going on in the Attitude Era.

    Yuppers. He's just another user who misuses the term "buried." That and "jobber" have lost all meaning because of people like the TC who don't know what they mean.

    Through all my time on this board I have never actually borthered to have a serious discussion with you, and now I know why.

    You ignore my reply and instead decide to bad mouth me to a different user (which might as well be your alt for all I know). You claim I don't know what the term "burial" means, yet all of my options have valid arguments towards the loser being buried. Heck, HHH burying CM Punk doesn't even have the least votes, so it seems more agree with me that it was some sort of burial. I have said it before and I will say it again, it further damaged the summer of Punk momentum. Burials doesn't always have to be making the opponent look like a joke, it can also be a simple instance of not putting someone over at the worst time possible. Therefore, CM Punk/HHH at Night of Champions deserves to be on that list.

    But of course you refuse to respond to my comments, simply you have never had the ability to actually make valid points and add any substance to your accusations. Instead, you like to talk down to others like an arrogant loser on an online forum.

    Five years I have been on this board and I have never read inputs that are a bigger waste of time than yours, The_Dragon_Died. Please, if you have nothing to add to a discussion, just go away!

    No it didn't lmao

    He was still red hot with the crowd, continued to main event and won the WWE title in a reign that lasted over a year

    If anything 'damaged' his momentum it was booking in the latter half of 2012 when they turned him heel to take a backseat to Cena

    But you can't even defend your statement, you're just mindlessly saying "oh it further damaged the Summer of Punk momentum because... idk" so it's probably a waste of time. And if you've been paying any remote attention, multiple people ITT have been pointing out to you that it wasn't a burial. Are they all my alts?

    Ryder. I mean, people can argue Booker T and such, but Booker ended up in the Hall of Fame in the end. Ryder was a huge "f*** you" to the fans, almost. WWE always swears they listen to the fans, that they reward guys for going for the brass ring (with Vince on Stone Cold's podcast saying how he doesn't think guys now are reaching for the brass ring anymore and happy w/ their spot), then when someone DOES do that... they give him a little bit of a push, and then immediately punk him out. It was depressing to watch because it was so obvious and deliberate. Dude has a good feud over the US Title, making it actually look worth chasing, wins it, then it's all downhill from there. He becomes Super Cena's Jimmy Olson so "Big Match John" can leach some of his heat, then proceeds to get the s*** beat out of him by Kane, has his love interest turn on him and make him look like a putz, then loses his title to Jack freakin' Swagger. They literally did everything they could to say "See? He's a loser! Don't cheer for him!" He never quite recovered because I think most of us took the hint and couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

    Its always has boggled my mind how I see some people say that Bryan vs Sheamus at 28 was a burial that blew up in WWE faces. WWE could've easily said **** what they think and book Bryan like a loser. But like you said, he won the World title less than two years on the main roster; and after 28, he was made a bigger heel blaming AJ, had a great match with Sheamus at Extreme Rules, was immediately booked into a WWE Title feud with Punk, ended up in a fun program with Kane that led to Team Hell No, and was one of the first people to go after the Shield, and then the rest is history. 

    WWE clearly pushed Bryan as a top player regardless of what happened at 28. Yeah it was stupid to do the quick match, but Im sure WWE still had plans to push Bryan afterwards anyway.

    WWE clearly pushed Bryan as a top player regardless of what happened at 28. Yeah it was stupid to do the quick match, but Im sure WWE still had plans to push Bryan afterwards anyway.


    The only period in which Bryan wasn't getting any sort of push was when he was holding the MITB briefcase (and that's not saying much; it's practically tradition for the MITB winner to job constantly when holding the case). 

    Every other point in his career from the moment he returned at Summerslam from the brief firing, Bryan was involved in some sort of angle and was never significantly depushed after he won the World Heavyweight Title. When he wasn't in the WWE or World Title picture, he was in a high profile feud. The Tag division was given more spotlight than it had in years when Team Hell No was a thing.

    The way people talk about him, you'd think he was shoved off the top of the mountain and plummeted to obscurity like Miz or Swagger after their reigns ended. People just really love buying into that underdog story.

    It probably would have been the Bryan loss to Sheamus at WM had it not backfired so hard.


    I know, it was ridiculous that they buried this guy they gave the World Title to in less than two years on the main roster and proceeded to put in a WWE Title feud immediately afterward.


    Its always has boggled my mind how I see some people say that Bryan vs Sheamus at 28 was a burial that blew up in WWE faces.

    This. Jericho had the crowd for about 3 minutes. Then Rock spouts catchphrases and Jericho founders for months afterwards. Hell, even when he became undisputed champ he was still booked like a midcarder.

    It was down to Cena vs Wade Barrett and Justin Gabriel. Barrett DDT'd Cena onto exposed concrete on the outside and threw him back into the ring. Gabriel went for the 450 but Cena rolled out of the way and pinned him (enthusiastically jumping on top of him for the pin despite having just suffered a DDT on concrete). Barrett then ran in and Cena immediately tripped him and put him into the STF for the submission. The time between the DDT and Barrett's tap out was less than two minutes with Cena completely no-selling the DDT after rolling out of the way of Gabriel's 450. Even after the match he held his head for a grand total of about 5 seconds while he was standing up, then he just ran around the ring roaring and soaking in the crowd. It was awful.

    Anyway, the only real answer is Zack Ryder. Regardless of what you may have thought of him or his stupid Youtube show, the fact is he did what Vince has claimed on Stone Cold's podcast that he wishes more guys would do and he put himself out there, got himself noticed, and made an effort to grab the brass ring. In return WWE gave him a token midcard title then jobbed him out and buried him six feet under.

    it further damaged the summer of Punk momentum


    No it didn't lmao

    He was still red hot with the crowd, continued to main event and won the WWE title in a reign that lasted over a year

    If anything 'damaged' his momentum it was booking in the latter half of 2012 when they turned him heel to take a backseat to Cena

    But you can't even defend your statement, you're just mindlessly saying "oh it further damaged the Summer of Punk momentum because... idk" so it's probably a waste of time. And if you've been paying any remote attention, multiple people ITT have been pointing out to you that it wasn't a burial. Are they all my alts?


    "Burial (also bury) - The worked lowering (relegation) of a popular wrestler's status in the eyes of the fans."

    Punk was a top player after MITB. He then lost the title at SS to Del Rio in a shocking cash-in. That wasn't the problem. But throughout the build-up he had constantly been against everything Triple H stood for, with most of the crowd being on his side. He then loses to Triple H at Night of Champions, proving to the fans that Punk is beneath HHH. This was further proved when Punk & HHH lost to R-Truth and The Miz, with Punk taking the pin. This was further proved when Cena lost his WWE title to Del Rio, with Del Rio pinning Punk.

    Yes, he went on the have one of the longest WWE championship reigns of all time, which ironically enough started with him winning the belt being below Cena & The Rock.

    Night of Champions was the starting point where WWE, instead of making Punk a continued top player, decided to put him below "the good old top guys who have been in this business for longer".

    HHH vs. Punk at NoC might not have been a squash match, but for everything it stood for, it definitely was a burial.

    So stop saying mindless things you don't understand.

    Ryder's was pretty bad. You had a low level jobber make a name for himself on his Internet show... so he started to get a push, only to have his heat be sapped by becoming a prop in the Cena/Kane rivalry and to put over Eve Torres as a heel, before shoving him back down to jobber status. Only now has he actually gotten back to an okay midcard level, but the effect of trying to make your own success and being firmly f***ed around with could only have been depressing for anyone backstage with hope that they could do the same.


    This! Ryder by far.... And I hated Ryder during this time BTW, but he 100% got himself over and WWE screwed him.

    But yeah Cena burying the Nexus was a pretty significant one, Edge, Jericho and even Cena himself all admitted that ending was terrible on Jericho's podcast (although Cena was initially for it)

    Did you even read my post? Punk was made to be lower than HHH, Cena and at a point even freaking Del Rio. You say things like "stuff embarassing yourself" when you are the only one doing it.

    You don't understand the concept of 'status'. Del Rio was a transitional champion who barely held the belt for 2 months. The booking that went on for the next 2 years showed that Punk was always higher in status. If we go by your incredibly stupid logic, anybody who drops a title belt (or even loses a match, for christ's sake) is automatically 'buried'.
