So it was really a wrestling town.

But so growing up, I watched you and WWE.

And I would say that Triple H was the premier heel champion, the unstoppable force of the whole Attitude Era.

And it's a thrill to have you here.

And since then, you've transitioned into being the chief creative officer at WWE and had a huge business career.

So I think I want to talk to you about both those things.

Maybe let's start with your career as a performer.

And I don't know if people understand everything that goes into being a WWE superstar, but you've got to be, first of all, you've got to be a tremendous athlete.

You're a stunt man because you're doing tremendously dangerous things.

You have to be able to cut promos, which means you're basically an actor, but you also have to write your own dialogue.

And you've got to be a charismatic star to all the fans.

There's a lot that goes into it.

Right, and actually that sort of started to change in the Attitude Era.

I remember in the 80s when I was growing up, Hulk Hogan was like this superhero type, you know, baby face.

And then, you know, I weirdly always just rooted for the heels.

And then Stone Cold... You're more fun.

Yeah, it's more fun.

And then Stone Cold Steve Austin came along and he kind of was a heel, but all of a sudden everyone was like rooting for him.

Like, what happened there?

And like, did something change in American society or did the product get more sophisticated?
