#2 Triple H lost out on a KOTR because of a hug
A staged show like WWE does indeed have room for real emotions, and that’s exactly what Triple H showed before the infamous 1996 King of the Ring event.
Triple H was a part of the Kliq along with Shawn Michaels, HHH, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, with the latter two set to leave WWE. The four battled it out at Madison Square Garden, and after the match had ended Triple H hugged his departing comrades on live television. Needless to say the top brass at WWE were unhappy with HHH breaking character, and staged his loss to Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts in the 96 KOTR(King Of The Ring) first round.
However, one man’s loss is another man’s gain, and the title eventually went to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, who gave his memorable ‘3:16 speech’ and became a WWE legend in the process.
