10 Times WWE Loved Making Your Favourite Wrestlers Cry

It's honestly not worth considering what Triple H and Vince McMahon were actually thinking about in order to summon real tears during their mournful Monday Night Raw embrace following Money In The Bank 2011.

In much the same way as horror movie monsters are scariest before they're seen, whatever chipped away at the ice-cold interiors of 'The Game' and his "nnnnDaddddd"-in-law are surely best left trapped in their own heads rather than ever unleashed upon the world.

McMahon's eyes were bright red as he forced those long-dried-up tear ducts into life. Some sort of liquid legitimately rolled down Hunter's cheek without his face melting onto a redundant robot neck like one of the droids in the "Lisa's Wedding" episode of The Simpsons, so we can infer he too was crying for real.

Naturally, the bit called for such an outlay because McMahon was being replaced in the corporate structure and they genuinely believed that was the thing people were most concerned about after CM Punk had put the WWE Championship in his fridge.
