Triple H is the bad guy and is supposed to make people mad and kids cry. It comes with the territory of what makes a great heel character on TV. On Raw Triple H did his job well and as he delighted in seeing his guys beat up John Cena in 3-on-1 match a child began to cry. Triple H then broke character to console the kid giving him an apology and rubbing his head moments before Cena’s big comeback win, with help from Sting of course.
After the show security escorted the kid and his father backstage. Now we don’t know if this was someone’s family or if more likely the child was from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. What gets me is remembering how real it was for us all as a kid in contrast to the cynical way we see everything today as grown up fans. That kid was engrossed in the spectacle of it all.
