8 Things We Learned From WWE Creation And Destruction: Triple H's Road To WrestleMania

3. DX Didn't Plan Their Hall Of Fame Speech

D-Generation X, now wizened old-hands smartened up in suits rather than the rebellious, jean-wearing oiks they once were, assemble at Brooklyn's Barclays Center in preparation for their Hall of Fame induction later that night. On the way to the arena, Triple H, coming over all humble, confesses that he hasn't even considered the personal implications of the ceremony - namely, that he is going to be inducted into this most prestigious of wrestling clubs (one which he happens to have a casting vote in, mind).

Hunter's lack of preparation is reflected by former SmackDown head writer Road Dogg, who in a comment dripping with hypocritical irony says there's nothing on paper for the night, so the group will be "winging it". It's one thing for each and every current performer under WWE's purview to be forced to recite prescribed lines - no matter how awful they are, on pain of reprimand - but when it comes to the bosses themselves? Nah. Do as we say, not as we do.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
