"WrestleMania Night" at Turner Field Next Tuesday
JJ Dillon On Triple H Taking Over WWE
Legendary manager JJ Dillon was on Busted Open earlier this week on Sirius 125/XM 241 and had this to say about Triple H taking control of WWE from Vince McMahon:
"Triple H is a product of the old school. He was trained by the man that I had my first match with, who was a true living legend and that's Killer Kowalski. Triple H has the roots. He has seen the success of the WWE marketing machine, but he also has a side of him where maybe he has a respect for the business that he's had his whole life that Vince [McMahon] can't duplicate respect because he didn't go through. He [Vince McMahon] didn't follow that same path. I think it'll be a positive thing if at some point the reins, whether Vince [McMahon] retires or you know everybody, someday, you don't live forever, and it'll be interesting to see."

Triple H Comments on Being a Family Man & his Talent for Art
From an interview with USA Weekend:
Do you enjoy being a family man?
Oh yeah. I waited a long time to have kids, and they say, “When you’re younger, it’s great to have the kids because you have more energy,” but for me, it’s awesome right now. I’ve done the things in my life that I wanted to do for me, and I was able to focus on that. Now, I’m still doing those other things, but it doesn’t take all my focus and my kids and my family come first. And all the other stuff, if it goes away, it’s not a big deal to me. It takes a lot of the pressure off the rest of your life when you put the pressure on yourself of raising your kids right. I want to be there for them. To me, it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done.
You went to art school earlier in your life. Do you still draw a lot?
You know what, I wish I had the time. I really don’t have the time to do it on any kind of level. I doodle a lot. [Laughs] When I’m supposed to be paying attention in a meeting or something at the office, I’m doodling feverishly. What’s great about it to me, and to go back to the kids, now I kind of have that art background so when my kids want to make something or do something creative, I can do it with them. A month ago, I made my kids a spaceship out of a cardboard box that they were playing with. They play with it all the time and it’s sitting in their room. It’s cool, we did it together — we made it and then they drew it on with me and made the design and stuff. I know this is not the Triple H that you’re thinking of, but that’s my life now.
