10 Terrifying Wrestling Curses That Will Chill Your Blood

7. The Triple H Entrance Theme Curse

Every artist who penned entrance music for Triple H in WWE - with the exception of Jim Johnston - is now dead.

He first entered a WWF ring to the strains of Johnston's 'Blue Blood' which, instead of regal pageantry, sounded more like the tune that plays in a fedora-wearing incel's head when they're daydreaming of courting a young m'lady. After that dismal failure, Hunter Hearst Helmsley entered the ring to 'Symphony No. 9' by Ludwig van Beethoven, who died 195 years ago. In an interesting trivia note, that is the combined amount of time Triple H has spent in the ring at WrestleMania.

Johnston also penned 'Corporate Player', a fairly rubbish and generic butt-rock spectacular that could have accompanied any old tw*t to the ring, before 'Higher Brain Pattern' formed the basis of the iconic 'My Time'.

That was performed by the DX Band, whose singer, Chris Warren, died at 49 in 2016. That is no age. Warren of course soundtracked the D-Generation X theme.

When Triple H graduated to main events, his entrances were soundtracked exclusively by Motörhead when he wasn't reforming DX; 'The Game' and 'King Of Kings' accompanied him to the ring for singles matches, while the epic 'Line In The Sand' was Evolution's theme. Frontman Lemmy died in 2015.

Not quite exclusively, actually: Drowning Pool played Triple H to the ring at WrestleMania X8 with a live cover of 'The Game'. Singer Dave Williams died later that very year of 2002, tragically, at 30.

Again: no age at all.
