Many fans watching Wrestlemania 29 over the weekend must have wondered what that was that covered champ Triple H’s body during the intro. As it turns out, it was dry ice and it burned him badly.

Check out the video above to see how it all went down.

On his Twitter, Mr. H himself explains what happened.

“For those wondering... Stuff stuck to me at mania was dry ice. Gave me 2nd degree burns on torso & arms,” he writes in a post accompanying a photo of the burns he sustained.

It doesn’t look pretty, I tell you that. Which brings me to noting that he didn’t even flinch when he was covered in the stuff during the intro, even though his first move was to try and dust himself off.

He simply walked on to the music, making an entrance worthy of a man of his reputation and career, completely ignoring the pain.
