Vince was a little bit close-minded.

He always wanted to protect the business.

Even me being a wrestler, like it was a little bit forbidden to be in a movie or... There was a fighter who fought in UFC.

Uh, when I was WWE champion, he was actually a South Asian champion.

He's born in Canada, Indian heritage, just like myself.

And I had asked, he wanted me to walk into the ring and I had asked for permission and not going to happen.

Wow.

Why just to protect ourselves, but now the industry is totally different.

Now you mentioned something very interesting.

You said WWE being in pop culture during the attitude era.

I think WWE didn't spill over into pop culture, pop culture came into WWE.

Whereas now you see a very deliberate attempt at WWE projecting into the pop culture collaborations.

Dan Housen, you gave a great example of Trick Williams, Little Yachty, Bad Bunny.

Just all these crossovers are very deliberate.

WWE wants to be in pop culture.

They want WrestleMania to be like Super Bowl.

Now, I watch Super Bowl every year with my wife.

Am I a football fan?

No, chances are I don't even know who's playing.

I don't know any players.
