2. Why Jim Johnston Was Angry With Triple H

It's hard to picture the geeky Jim Johnston getting fired up at anybody, let alone Triple H. In an appearance on the new 'Total Engagement' podcast, Johnston admitted that he was once pretty p*ssed at 'The Game' for changing some of his lyrics to one of his theme songs without permission.

Meanwhile, poor Lemmy of Mötorhead fame had to sit in the middle and do what he was told.

Triple H wanted to alter a line or two in 'Time To Play The Game', his most famous track. Without consulting WWE's music man Johnston, he asked Lemmy for suggestions and the duo rewrote some of the words. When Jim heard the end result, he was naturally annoyed that he hadn't been part of the process.

Johnston didn't blame Lemmy for it, he pointed the finger at Triple H. To Jim, the legendary rocker was innocent and actually kinda' embarrassed that he was mucking around with someone else's work. Triple H didn't see it that way, apparently.
