I’ll say this something I learned from Roman Reigns. We don’t talk a lot, but he said something to me that really stuck out with me and it’s very sincere is that WWE and pro wrestling, in general, going to such a big platform like ESPN, it’s really everything that our dads ever worked for. So that’s always kind of there like…they did it all, you know, and then we get to revel in this wonderful success. So, we better bring it, and I think you will see that with Wrestlepalooza.
