Triple H is not a on board of directors
During the Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash was asked about his old friend Triple H not being on the Board of Directors anymore. Nash said that Triple H is trying as hard as he can to close this merger as soon as possible. He said:
“Whenever we talk, I just know that he wants the merger to be done. That’s the thing, like ‘let’s get this f*cking thing over with.’ It’s not like he’s upset at anything or sick of anything, like he’s going ‘they do this, this, and this,’ but it’s never an ultimatum. He does his job.”
“I just sent him a text after SummerSlam to say that I enjoyed SummerSlam. He said, ‘thanks.’”
