As Josh sat, looking straight ahead, one of the biggest surprises of his life slowly walked by - World Wrestling Federation Superstar, and former Champion, Triple H. Josh's jaw hit the floor as the man who calls himself "The Game" walked by.
"I just saw this figure walk by," Greg said. "Then I saw the beard and the ponytail, and I was thinking, 'Holy S***, that's Triple H!'"
Triple H began by asking how everyone was doing - if they were sore and talking the bumps hard. When Darryl replied by saying he was taking a beating, the Game simply told him, "Big deal." He then had them enter the ring.
Once in the ring, Triple H began telling the trainees that the wrestling business is far different than any other entertainment in the world. Instead of telling a story with words, professional wrestlers tell a story with their bodies, and those stories have to be believable in order for them to work. With that, he had Greg and Jason demonstrate by throwing a few punches at them.
"That was the greatest moment of my life," said Greg. "He is one of my idols."
Triple H then had the trainees stand in the ring, and he told them how difficult the sports-entertainment can be. He said that he spends 200 days a year travelling. You will never see your wife, your husband, or your kids, he said. Careers end fast.
Triple H said that he's no tougher than anyone else in the business, but he has a reason for being on top: He loves the business and he respects the business. He puts his life on the line everyday. The Game said he gladly does it, and he will continue to do it, until he can't do it anymore.
He said that with Tough Enough, the 13 trainees are on the easy track. They are a mile ahead of where they should be. He warned them not to throw away the opportunity, because if they did, then they were pissing on everyone who came before them, and everyone who comes after them.
