Triple H praises IShowSpeed
Triple H praised the YouTube streaming sensation during a post-event interview.
“My hats off to IShowSpeed. I sort of felt bad, only sort of. I’ve never seen a human being get hit that hard but yeah. He’s game. My hats off to him, I respect him for that. I don’t know how many people if I said there’s a possibility [you might get speared in the middle of the ring]… I don’t know how many people would say ‘Yeah let’s do it,” he said.
“My hats off to him. He loves the business and he loves being around it. He’s great for it. I know he wants to do some more things down the line and we’ll be happy to have him here.”
