He says in lieu of this celebration, he sent out hundreds of hundreds of invitations to his friends and loved ones. Well, we are all here for you.

We see that there is no one in the building.

Shawn says he is not angry about that. Hunter tells Shawn he was supposed to have a 25 year anniversary show and Hunter says heads will roll when he gets to headquarters.

Shawn mentions Degeneration X and they were money. They had a good time and they had fun. Everything worked and they were flawless. They were one shot wonders. Everything they did turned to gold.

We take a look at the “Not So” Great Moments in Degeneration X history.

Shawn goes on about Triple H’s career and accomplishments, mentioning 14 world championships, numerous WrestleMania wins and countless WrestleMania moments. Shawn likes to think of himself as Mr. WrestleMania, but what he did on The Grandest Stage of Them All pales in comparison.

He names legends and WWE Hall of Famers – The Rock, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Batista, Mick Foley, Randy Orton, Shawn.

Vince says Triple H’s 25 years is really extraordinary. Under normal circumstances Vince would come down to the ring from the stage and join them. Vince is apparently practicing social distancing. Vince talks about some of the hits and misses from Triple H’s career, mostly misses and jokes around some more. He apparently indicates that Triple H was behind the infamous “This Is Your Life” segment from 2017. Vince says that segment brought the crickets out but it wasn’t Bayley’s fault. Vince says seriously, I love you. Triple H says he loves Vince back. Shawn interrupts and says he loves them both. Vince laughs and says tonight he just wants to say that Triple H’s performance tonight, and just him overall, is just God awful. It sucked, it was rotten, as someone close to them would say.
