1. Telling The Truth

As bad as Stephanie McMahon was on the mic, her husband did a nice job of selling just how important winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania really is.

Triple H spoke about the dreams of every wrestler and fan, and how he€™s lived that dream nine times at Mania (out of 20 appearances). He spoke about how he was obsessed about being the best and believes he€™s the most successful wrestler in history. Now, whether that€™s in character or the man speaking for real about himself, it doesn€™t matter.

Hunter€™s speech conveyed (in his usual drawn-out way) that his ego and legacy is riding on this match, and Roman Reigns reignited his passion for being the best. In a perfect world, fans would now want to see Reigns shut Triple H up and take the title from him, but we€™re not living in reality right now.
