The biggest pool of people to do that is collegiate athletics. It just is. It&#8217;s why the NFL can let go of 500 players a year. Because they have this ocean of talent coming in to them at any point in time. For every person waiting to get into the NFL, there&#8217;s hundreds in other sports that no one looks at and there&#8217;s no professional avenue for them. We couldn&#8217;t engage with those athletes due to NCAA rules. Even though we&#8217;re an entertainment company, we risked their eligibility and it was difficult. Once NIL hit, it was a game changer because I could immediately talk to all these athletes and offer them this opportunity, which for a vast majority of them, it&#8217;s an opportunity of a lifetime (because they grew up watching.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not looking for a transactional thing where we hand someone a few grand to say they love our chicken. We&#8217;re working with athletes that want to be a part of WWE that we can invest in. We&#8217;re looking for long term recruiting opportunities &#8230; it&#8217;s the perfect mix for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Triple H took over as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/08\/03\/triple-h-reportedly-makes-signature-creative-change\/\">Head of Creative<\/a> for WWE and the EVP of Talent Relations after Vince McMahon retired from the company.
