10 Best Things To Come From The WWE's Worst Moments

10. Meet The New Boss, Same As The Young Old Boss

Triple H was a convivial host and ridiculous banter hound during the first empty arena edition of SmackDown.

It came from a place of spontaneity - something WWE are almost always great with yet never embrace - after the world gradually came to realise that it was going to have to sake serious events a little more seriously.

An empty gym show was both necessary and novelty in the eyes of 'The Game', who introduced it with a welcome tone of escapism before making Michael Cole's life hell for the next two hours. Ripping the p*ss out of his partner, he affectionately attacked his ability as an announcer, pointed the camera on him for the craic and even coloured in his soul patch just to fill a little more time.

Matches in the venue didn't have to play out to total silence because he was busy making cracks about Asuka running in "from the crowd" or picking on Jeff Hardy for playing to the empty seats. Much of WWE's output would go on to be a reminder of the troubled times outside, but Triple H's clowning genuinely served as a helpful way to forget.
