Dear Final Boss,
As a lifelong supporter of the WWE, I wanted to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude for your recent return to the company. Your presence has genuinely revitalized the wrestling world, bringing back the excitement and energy that fans like myself have been craving. At the age of 37, having been a lifelong follower of the greatest professional wrestling company ever, I have been fortunate enough to witness countless iconic moments in the sport. However, nothing compares to the awe-inspiring experience of seeing you in action.
WrestleMania 40 marked a pivotal moment for me, as it was the first time I had the privilege of witnessing your unmatched charisma and talent firsthand. The atmosphere at the Barclays Center during the Monday Night RAW episode before WrestleMania was absolutely electric, and seeing you command the WWE Universe with such confidence left an indelible mark on my wrestling fandom journey.
But WrestleMania weekend was so much more than just a two-night event—it was a celebration of your extraordinary legacy and unparalleled contributions to the industry. From the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, where you received the “People’s Championship” and also inducted your grandmother Lia Maivia, to the exhilarating moments on Monday Night Raw after Mania when you confronted Cody Rhodes, those four days were an absolute whirlwind of excitement and emotion.
Each moment spent in your presence felt like a precious gift, and I will forever cherish the memories of those unforgettable nights. Your return to the WWE has not only reinvigorated the wrestling landscape but has also reignited the passion and enthusiasm of fans worldwide. Thank you for making wrestling cool again, and thank you for saving the WWE and shutting down all the critics who claimed AEW would beat WWE ratings every week. Your dedication to your craft and ability to captivate audiences is truly unmatched, and it was an absolute honor to be a part of the WWE Universe during the historic period of the Road to WrestleMania. Your decision to listen to the fans and pivot the storyline to give them what they wanted was commendable.
Your acknowledgment of the “Cody Crybabies” and their significance resonated deeply with me. It’s a testament to your humility and respect for the WWE universe that you were willing to adapt and evolve to ensure the fans’ voices were heard.
Furthermore, your portrayal of the Final Boss persona injected a newfound excitement into the WWE landscape. The incorporation of your TKO Board of Directors position into the storyline added an intriguing layer of depth and authenticity.
Your commitment to delivering a compelling narrative while staying true to your character is nothing short of inspiring. Since your return, I have found myself embracing your spirit and legacy more passionately than ever before.
Your unwavering commitment to excellence has not only made wrestling cool again but has also set the bar for what it means to be the best version of The Rock persona. Whether it’s raising a glass of Teremana Tequila to celebrate your triumphs or indulging in the luxurious skincare products from your new line, Papatui, I feel a profound connection to your journey and your relentless pursuit of greatness.
Thank you, Final Boss, for everything you have done and continue to do for the wrestling community. Your impact on the industry is immeasurable, and your legacy will undoubtedly stand the test of time. As a lifelong supporter and admirer, I eagerly anticipate witnessing your future endeavors and am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
With the utmost admiration and gratitude, Rob Aurelius.
P.S. Thank you, Final Boss, for being the guiding force that keeps WWE at the forefront of sports entertainment. Your leadership as a member of the TKO Board of Directors has ensured that the company continues to thrive and innovate. You truly are the epitome of greatness, both in and out of the ring.
