5 Photos of Triple H he might prefer you didn't see

#2. A kiss for Stone Cold!?

WWE Superstars Promote WrestleMania XIX as Triple H plants one on Stone Cold

We've spoken before in our photo compilations about professional wrestlers and their need, even in this day and age, to maintain kayfabe - the illusion that what fans see by way of storylines and characters is, in fact, real life.

We've come across numerous examples of photos breaching that very code, and there's another belter for you right here. There's no man more protective of his character's bravado than Stone Cold Steve Austin - so how on-screen Austin feels about this snap of Triple H plonking a wet one right on his cheek is anyone's guess, and it's likely The Game isn't too fond of it either.

Nonetheless, here it is for our relative enjoyment. The photo was taken ahead of WrestleMania 19, where Austin was beaten by The Rock and Triple H defeated Booker T. It's a candid and fun photo that shows the two men - kayfabe or otherwise - letting their hair down in a rare moment relative relaxation.

Pucker up, guys!
