With all of the pageantry and myth-making in the WWE, it's easy to forget that the wrestler in the spotlight isn't always the same as the human being out of it.
On Monday night, we were given a salient reminder of the sport's two-faced approach after noted heel Triple H stepped away from his villainous persona to console a crying child attending WWE Raw.
Apparently, Triple H said something to the child that made the kid cry. If you're a wrestling fan, this shouldn't be terribly surprising. He is, after all, a heel. But, clearly, the waterworks didn't sit too well with Trips. Perhaps feeling that he had crossed a line, he moved over to the kid in order to comfort him.

Wrestling fan Brad Cain, who was also in attendance, added a special detail at the end, too:
