6 instances when WWE superstars cried

You don’t need me to tell you that WWE is a pretty intense sport. Even though the franchise runs on a script, you need a body as hard as nails in order to provide extreme entertainment without coming out of it as a wreck. However, one thing that even the toughest body cannot withstand is true human emotion, and believe it or not there have been quite a few times when even the most battle-hardened wrestlers have shed a tear or two, not due to knocks suffered in the rings but because their heartstrings were tugged at. With that in mind, let’s take a look at 6 instances where WWE superstars cried:

#6 Roddy Piper's Tribute

Undoubtedly one of the most popular and beloved wrestlers of all time, Roddy Piper’s recent passing was a massive shock to fans worldwide. And WWE’s recent brilliant tribute to Hot Rod, from his early days with WWF, when he was at the peak of his popularity, to his later appearances, really brought back great memories. The ten-bell toll in his honour was also a lovely touch.

For many fans, Hot Rod excelled at bringing the entertainment factor to wrestling with his brilliant Scottish gimmick, amplified by his iconic entrance theme, so much so that his popularity even rivalled that of his arch-rival Hulk Hogan. The tribute for the late Hall of Famer really moved the entire roster of wrestlers as well as Vince McMahon, who had a very noticeable lump in his throat.
