What is the purpose of this Busted Open episode with Triple H?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGreca. On today's episode, myself and Nick Nemeth talk to Triple H just days away from SummerSlam. You're going to want to listen right here on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Sir, how are you? And thank you so much for the time.
I'm doing great, man. It's great to be on here. It's great to have an amazing new partnership with Sirius and I'm excited about this whole thing and excited about the weekend.
How can you not be? Minnesota, SummerSlam, night one and night two. We've been talking about it here. And I got to tell you, for somebody that's been doing Busted Open for over 17 years, I'm really excited about this partnership with the WWE, WWE Radio. We're going to be doing the play-by-play night one and night two right here on channel 156, WWE Radio. This is exciting times, man.
It really is. You know, it's, it's one thing. And David, I'm just going to say, is Nick in there with you? Yes. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. What's going on, man? How are you? Hey bro. Good. Good. Good to see you or hear you, or I can kind of see you, but it's in a little tiny box.
Just know that I look great. It's fine.
I know.
How does Triple H describe WWE Radio and the new SiriusXM partnership?
Yeah. Like a million bucks. You know, exciting time for me. I, I, I can recall, um, Periods of time, especially growing up, which is a long time ago, but there's always a desire when you're a WWE fan, a wrestling fan, that it becomes something that you want to engage in at all times. But with other sports, it's always there. You can always turn on TV, radio. Somebody's always talking about the NBA or NFL or something like that. To have a moment in time where... it's become big enough and mainstream enough that at any given moment, if you're in your car driving somewhere, whatever length of time you can flip on Sirius XM. You can listen to whatever you want to listen about the industry that you love about, um, about wrestling and to just have that, to be able to walk into stores now and see the merch, to be able to walk in any place and have that conversation and have it be normalized to flip on your TV and see it being talked about on ESPN or, or, you know, regular news channels to, um,
um to to going on whatever news source you want and having it be talked about in general um to social media platforms where it's trending at the top of the list to just be able to have that conversation not feel like you're into something that nobody else is into or very few people are into that is is mainstream and talked about and you know it's i think that ability to hear those points of view, to be able to banter about it, to argue about it, to say what you love, what you hate, what you liked, what you didn't like, um, is so important for what we do. Cause it's the engagement level, you know, um, of what we do. And I think, uh, it's, it's, I don't know, for me, it's just such an exciting time that people can now immerse themselves 24 seven in our business, like never before in the best way possible.
And I think that engagement makes it even better.
You know, I love it. And, and one thing I always said on this show where I give you the utmost respect is I remember you saying, pro wrestling is an art form. And for so many years, it wasn't mainstream or it was kind of like this guilty pleasure, but now it's part of the mainstream. And I think it's the respect and credibility that you have understand about pro wrestling and I understand about the project and everything that's going on that I get to do what I do on a daily basis.
Yeah. Look, I think that's to the, to the, It's just looking at it through a different lens, right? There was a moment in time where, you know, our predecessors fought, literally fought tooth and nail in bars and clubs and on the street to prove to people that this was real because they thought that that was the badge of legitimacy of what we did. Over time, the badge of legitimacy of what we do is just what we do. It's so difficult. It's so physically demanding. It's so all-encompassing. It's so all those things.
