10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 6)

6. Triple H Was Intimidated At Lemmy's Funeral

The world of heavy metal was stunned at the tail end of 2015 when it was revealed that Lemmy Kilmister had passed away. As legendary a rocker as there's ever likely to be, the man was the front man for Motörhead, one of rock n' roll's biggest bands. In the world of wrestling, he infamously recorded Triple H's theme song, one that's still used today. Speaking to Metal Hammer magazine, 'The Game' said that he was overcome with nerves when he was asked to speak at Lemmy's funeral. It's sometimes difficult to imagine a man like Triple H getting nervous, but it appears he was more than a little rattled by the prospect of giving a speech. The main reason for his worries revolved around exactly who was in attendance. Talking in front of the likes of Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne and others who knew Lemmy extremely well for years, Triple H said the entire experience was frightening as well as intimidating. He wasn't sure that pro wrestling would be welcomed at the ceremony, but also remarked that he's glad he was able to honour someone who had become a close personal friend of his.
