Two weeks ago, longtime Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister passed away, leading to rock legends and other musicians paying tribute to him as a sign of respect. And while wrestler Triple H doesn’t shred a six-stringer for a living, he has frequently talked about his love affair for Lemmy.
Saving his best for Lemmy’s last, Triple H gave one of the most powerful and emotional speeches I’ve ever heard during Kilmister’s funeral, delivering a passionate message that described his relationship with the rock god—which was streamed online for 250,000 people.

With numerous tweets throughout his life with Lemmy, Triple H showed how rock has helped influenced wrestling, while posting a few memories over the years with his favorite musician.
It’s no wonder why some believed that Lemmy was, in fact, God.
