About this episode
YERRR – the guys brought in none other than The Game himself, Triple H, to break down the wild world of professional wrestling. From getting punished by Vince and the rise of DX, Triple H opens up about everything: the business, the characters, the pain, the politics – even training Floyd Mayweather. Plus, his insane story of marrying his wife, internet trolls, and why being a babyface is actually harder than it looks. All that and more on this week’s episode of FLAGRANT.
