I want to become the biggest heel in WWE. Do you know what a heel is? No. Heel's a bad guy. And so he's like, look, if I can become the biggest bad guy, like, we're going to drive a lot of sales, right? The ratings are through the roof. WrestleMania completely sold out. Now they're transitioning over to doing this Netflix deal, right? And so the WWE is well positioned to win for the long term. Everyone's saying like that WrestleMania was like best one ever for such a long time. That's how good he is.
