Yeah.

Thanks for coming.

Welcome.

So the audience may not know this, but I'm a big professional wrestling fan, going back to my childhood in Memphis, Tennessee.

In Memphis, we didn't have any professional sports growing up.

All we had was Memphis State Tigers basketball and professional wrestling at the Mid-South Coliseum on Monday nights.

That was pretty much it.

Jerry Lawler was so popular in Memphis that he could have been elected mayor, and I think he almost was.

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.
