The CEO of that company was older than most of the people in the tournament (but still not all that old, maybe 40) and in many ways clearly felt the need to assert his dominance in compensation for his advanced age. The testosterone was palpable. Hence always easily remembering that Whole Lotta Love was playing as the soundtrack to this event.
