If I remember correctly wasn't it Triple H (and Hall,Nash,HBK) that went out of character and hugged when Hall and Nash went to WCW - which ended up being the best thing to ever happen to WWF(E)?
I'm pretty sure I remember he was buried for a few years as a undercarder and the bump that was intended to be for HHH ended up being given to Stone Cold - which ultimately lead to the Attitude Era - aka the best days in wrestling history.
I feel like a nerd remembering that - I haven't watched wrestling regularly since the early 00's.
