10 Best WrestleMania Entrances Ever

Triple H has been the recipient of some of WrestleMania's most ornate entrances, and typically, they cross the line between cool and ridiculous without a hint of irony (his Conan the Barbarian and Terminator tributes, for example).

The exception, however, came at WrestleMania XXX, where the so-called "King of Kings" entered his domain with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

"The Game," who wrestled Daniel Bryan in the opener to determine which superstar would advance to the main event, was competing at the show as a heel authority figure for the first time ever, and he made it very clear that he wouldn't let the fans forget who they were watching. 

His entrance simultaneously involved a skull-crown and shoulderpads (which were also incorporated into the entranceway), a cape, a throne, and three ladies-in-waiting (played by Sasha Banks, Charlotte, and Alexa Bliss) - oh, and there was a laser light show and grandiose music to cap the whole thing off.

While Triple H's other entrances tried to sell us on the idea of the conquering gladiator, this one was a subtle reminder that the once-prolific champion had turned into a 45-year-old suit who could manipulate the game board at will. 

It was the perfect opening gambit for the man standing in the way of "The Yes! Movement."
