2. Triple H
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxG2ERT2OGk The Problem: This is not a slam on Motorhead. Nor is this a slam on Triple H. Triple H has changed character completely in the last 6 months, since he screwed over Daniel Bryan at Summerslam. This corporate persona is seemingly the direction for the foreseeable future. That is fine, as long as it remains consistent, and one of the great inconsistencies of this character as far as I'm concerned is his music. Triple H as The Authority has welcomed back people with whom he had obvious blood feuds, namely Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton. He's no longer the anti-authority member of DX, willing to push the envelop. Nor is he the bad-ass wrestler, willing to pick apart anyone who crosses him. He's meant to be a company man now, doing as they repeatedly say "What's best for business." The major problem with his music is that's not what a Motorhead song suggests. If HHH was walking to the ring in his denim jacket leather jack combination, holding meetings sitting in his thrown, and delivering justice with a Pedigree and a sledgehammer then Motorhead is appropriate music. We all know that's not the case, he's wearing a suit, getting the Shield to do his dirty work. Not only does the character not fit the music, but it most fans, especially at live events it seems, have great memories of that music hitting and Triple H stomping out, and so the music gets a cheer. If he's meant to be a heel then it's probably not great that his music means he gets cheered every show as he arrives. Vince McMahon coming out to "No Chance" was about as perfect as his music could get, it was all pomp and arrogance, sneering at those who worked for him. Even Stephanie McMahon has a new corporate theme, summing up her new character, it's time Triple H got on that wagon. The Solution: Triple H backs down openly on his music. It would obviously all be a character doing a work, but the idea that big bad Triple H protects his job by changing his music to something WWE's board of Directors approve of more would work on two fronts. It would give Triple H music befitting of a manager of a multinational corporation, but it could also be the seeds of a turn for Triple H. Imagine the reaction when Triple H has had enough of being a company man, and wants to get back into his spandex, and pull his trusty sledgehammer out of retirement. We suddenly get "Time to play the game..." and the old Hunter, the Cerebral Assassin comes scowling out.
