When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I can't ever imagine having the spare cash to be able to do a front row seat thing. I have a friend whose family bought me a front row ticket to PPV once (I think MitB 2009 or something) but I got in a very minor car accident on the way, that, completely totaled my rental, so it wasn't meant to be (I did get a cool CM Punk chair that I still have that has him with long hair and like a billion people with Xs on their hands in back of him).

I should've bought tickets to the Suns in 2017 when they were at their lowest and there were front row tickets going for ~250 just to say I have had the experience of front row match to something.

To celebrate the memory of the Cerebral Assassin, what are some of your favorite HHH moments?

Mine is when he was clearly demoted, title change and all, in 2020 and WWE stans were insistent that it was fake news and impossible for him to be demoted because he was doing such a good job with NXT

So Vince desires a permanent global revolution of the proletariat in areas both economic and social? I can’t even see Vince as a Maoist or a follower of Stalin, despite the love of rewriting history. Really the only guys I see Vince liking from those days are Mussolini or that second rate Austrian copycat. Don’t really see Vince having any kind of overriding true ethos other than creating a cult of personality for his own personal gratification.

I do not want HHH to die, I want to see him Wrestle once more.

I have a feeling Vince won’t let him anymore and if they do a retirement match they’ll just give it to Roman because only he can get anything in WWE but it’d be cool to see him go out losing to Big E or AJ or Dunne

Nah feed him to Roman. Make him the voice of the Attitude Era, the voice for the forgotten. Make him Punk but for the Boomers who miss the way it used to be and Roman is the symbol of everything wrong with WWE. Trips tried to change it with NXT but now he realizes what needs to happen is Reigns needs to be toppled. So he's gonna be the guy to do it.

Then just squash him in 2 minutes and leave him a broken piece of meat on the mat, his legacy, his character and his ambition destroyed by the Big Dog who will make Trips' reign of terror look like an insignificant blip in the annals of wrestling history.

WWEs ticket prices are insane. They think that they can milk people for every penny because they have not had shows in so long.

One ticket to a Chicago Raw in August 2021 in the lower deck facing the hard cam was $285 w/ taxes

I got combo tickets to All Out/Dynamite/Rampage for three shows in Chicago for slightly less than that with feesfor a better seat that was more center with the ring in the lower bowl and a few rows closer.

I got an even better seat to Dynamite on Thanksgiving Eve for a little over $100 with fees that will be on camera all night.

NXT shows were significant cheaper for Takeovers, but still more expensive than my All Out ticket for the same type of seat

I live in a C market and it was 900 dollars for two seats on the barricade. For a house show.

Triple H will get a final victory in an inter gender match against Stephanie McMahon. In return, Stephanie will get the house and sole custody of the kids.

Oh, in the build Haitch did a moment where he basically fake shooted on him, by more or less going "this isn't Triple H talking to Batista, this is Paul Levesque talking to Dave Bautista, and in our match I'm going to REALLY fight you!" Like, all the other matches aren't real, but ours super is!

And when everything was said and done, it ended up just being your standard HHH match where it would have been much better if you just cut it down by 25%.
