14 Times Really Weird Sh*t Went Down At WrestleMania 32

After a peculiarly Silent Hill style promo video and a huge, megalomaniacal promo from his clearly bugf*ck insane wife introducing him to the crowd, Triple H made his entrance.

And what an entrance. The King Of Kings stalked menacingly to the ring, accompanied by said lunatic spouse and a whole flotilla of guys in skull masks carrying replica WWE World Heavyweight Championship belts. It was ludicrous, glorious and weird as hell in equal measure.

And, of course, it was completely self-defeating. Stephanie’s massively over-the-top villainous promo, sounding a little like what might happen if whatsherface out of Mad Max was possessed by Hitler, was designed to make the Authority - including Triple H - appear to be the ultimate in heelish horrible bosses.

Having the Game then proceed to the ring to his dead idol and friend Lemmy’s entrance theme about him, written specifically for him, with Lemmy tributes all over his ring gear, looking like a barbarian warlord and flanked by cool-as-hell henchmen - that’s a hero’s entrance, not a villain’s entrance.

Sure enough, Triple H received more cheers than boos, and that wasn’t just because of who he was facing. Once again, his alignment was just far too confusing.
