DVD Review: Triple H: Thy Kingdom Come

So how do you start a DVD review about one of the most powerful men in the world of wrestling today? You could go on about how he's been a polarizing figure during his career, or how he went from a blue blood to a degenerate and all that.

Rest in peace Dexter

I'm feeling very sad at the moment. My dearest companion Dexter suffered a stroke last night and two further strokes today. After the third one he'd lost the use of his back legs completely, his head was titlted to the left and the left side of his face was drooping.

Even before I called the vet it was more than obvious that I was losing him. He was still quite attentive, but the sparkle in his eyes had gone. Shortly after 6.30 this evening the vets eased his pain and sent him on his way just a couple of weeks before his 14th birthday.
