Triple H admitted during the latest episode of WWE's 'Last Ride' documentary series that he had a mini-crisis of confidence backstage at WrestleMania XXV.

'The Game' was in the locker room getting ready for his main event match with Randy Orton when he sat down to watch The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels. Mid-way through the 30-minute classic, Trips turned his head away and thought to himself, "We are f*cked".

He realised nobody was topping that one.

A lot of people often forget that another bout had to follow 'Taker vs. HBK first. John Cena, Edge and Big Show worked a 14-minute Triple Threat for the old World Heavyweight Title before Triple H and Orton struggled to headline effectively.

Despite that three-way being in the so-called 'death spot', Triple H knew that fans were ready to go home and didn't give a damn about anything other than the near-fall fest between two beloved legends they'd just witnessed.

Trips remembers standing behind the curtain wondering to himself how he and Randy could haul the Texan crowd along for the ride with them. It was an impossible task.

"We. Are. F*cked".
