“Since Mania weekend (of all weekends) I was not feeling so great. Something wasn’t right. My head, my arm and my heart . When I came back from Dallas i Ended up going to the Doctor and they discovered a whole bunch of issues.

“For starters- without me knowing, over the past few months the doctor had identified that I suffered 2 massive strokes. I didn’t even have a clue till I started not working with 1 of my arms. It’s basically not able to do anything. This was decent news.

“The worse news is that I have been told that I am fighting with an early stage of dementia. The years of taking the big main event bump every night (that nobody else wanted to take) had started to affect me.

“I’m nervous, I’m scared & God knows I can’t afford 2 get through this & even make a living. It’s really sad as all I want to do is have fun & do what I always do. Survive.”

Virgil's story sounds suspect...... he said that over the past few months the Dr. told him he suffered 2 massive strokes w/o him knowing??... don't make sense at all tbh.

It's possible. Every stroke isn't noticeable. I've heard folks mentioned they've had issues thinkin it was something else...only to find out they suffered a stroke.

Hopefully he wasn't lying about something as serious a stroke...just for sympathy.

having a minor stroke i could understand possibly not noticing..... but 2 massive strokes is alot different..... Virgil is known to lie alot in his shoot interviews& he is known to do shady shit @ autograph signings.
 
Paul "Triple H" Levesque was interviewed by The Athletic during Wrestlemania 38 week in Dallas. Today, a piece on The Athletic looked at changes to WWE's recruitment process and WWE NXT itself, with Levesque discussing the changes:

“There was this point where [WWE NXT] was on the (WWE) Network, had this cult following, and we needed to get on television. How do we do that? We need more experience, need to professionalize this a little bit to make the product to where fans want to see that. We got them to that place. The pandemic (messed) it up a little bit because it was right when we went on TV and we had to shift our focus, doing it in front of no people. It completely altered what we were doing. We couldn’t recruit or train talent for almost two years. … But the show stayed. Then we said, OK, let’s reboot it and go back to what we originally were. Some of these people won’t be ready for television, but we’re gonna put them on television, and we believe the audience is invested enough that the numbers might come down, but a core group of them will stay, and now you’re creating fresh stars all the time. That’s where we are now. The numbers have stabilized. People like Bron Breakker, he’s been training for a year. Half the women, they’ve been here a year maybe. There’s a lot that’s just so fresh and new. People used to say the constant churn of NXT was a negative. The churn is what’s great about it. The people here now, hopefully a year and a half from now, none of them are even in NXT anymore, and the ones that make it will be on to “Raw” and “SmackDown. That’s the magic. It truly is the developmental league, the college football, Triple-A baseball. Yeah, they’re not all quite ready to be in that major-league role yet, but you’re discovering them before they become household names. “We were talking about this shift anyway. That’s where we were headed. It happened at a period of time where I had to leave for a bit. Luckily, Shawn (Michaels) had been doing it with me all that time, so it was a seamless thing. I stepped out, did what I needed to do, but that team has killed it. They’ve really created a show where you can really say that’s the next generation of stars.”
