Triple H, Undertaker fined for chairshot at WWE WrestleMania XXVII

Triple H vs. The Undertaker - WrestleMania 27

Even if WWE’s brand of sports entertainment has loosened its restrictions on PG content by using “bad words” and showing bloody lips and noses, they are still cracking down – and rightfully so – on chair shots.

Specifically, WWE has fined Triple H and The Undertaker for an undisclosed sum regarding the chair shot from their WrestleMania 27 match.

PWinsider picked up on the press release sent out by WWE:

Pursuant to WWE’s Concussion policy, the stunt of using a folded metal chair shot to the head is prohibited. Triple H and The Undertaker have both been fined for violating this policy at WrestleMania XXVII.  WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension for violation of this policy, which is unchanged and still in effect.

Since WWE and TNA both have cracked down on protected and unprotected chair shots to the head, I thought this made Triple H look even more desperate to try to break The Undertaker’s streak. For that reason, both of these veterans might have just said, “Screw it,” and did it anyway, knowing what the consequences would be.

On the other hand, you could argue Triple H and The Undertaker should be role models for the younger generation. Doing this is a blatant act of defiance against the rule.

This past winter, J Nicholas Autumn and I debated chair shots in professional wrestling – or sports entertainment. Autumn was for chair shots for the realism they bring to the story, and I was against them for the inherent dangers involved.

What do you think – should WWE have fined these future Hall of Famers? Or should Triple H and The Undertaker play by the rules, just like everybody else?
