Would you be my new best friends?

Also they're now talking about CM Punk, which is very interesting.

Hunter is very good at taking a potentially difficult question and rephrasing it and shifting the subject and moving to something less controversial.

"I wish we could go back to two hours" was the most interesting thing HHH said, IMO.

I think Vince probably wants that too, they were just forced by USA to make it three hours

Show's going up late. It's going to be like, 2 hours including 20 minute of raw 30 minutes of new japan talk, and an hour of questions, right?

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

I want Dave to explain all technical processes to me. I want him on Raw every week telling people how to sign up for the Network.

Edit: lol and looking at the NJPWworld site, they were even giving the wrong directions. The little Captain New Japan photo link takes you to the Tags page, not the free trial page.

I was surprised that Dave didn't get that they were claiming Rock messed up the Rumble because otherwise Roman would've been beaten down and easy pickings for Rusev. Yes, Show and Kane weren't legal either, but they're Authority guys and Hunter literally said he didn't care about them interfering. Yes, it's a double-standard, but they're heels!

Most of what HHH said wasn't news to Dave. He praised how Triple H presented himself in it and then discussed the few news items to come out of it.

Yeah but I feel like Trips worked a lot of people with that interview. He was entirely more sincere on the Jericho one.

The only thing that stood out to me about the Austin podcast was Hunter saying he wished Raw was two hours, and then saying he wished they could give the women more TV time. That's the most "WE'VE ONLY GOT THREE HOURS!" thing ever. Hell, the whole Raw was booked so the major complaints about Reigns and the Rumble were addressed. Bryan's in the main event picture (for now) and Reigns is back to being a cool badass.

I almost lost my mind when Austin asked HHH "If you could change one thing about the current product, what would it be?" and HHH started to reply "I'd like more time..."

I thought he was going to say he wanted more time for Raw, thank god he went the other way with it.

And I assumed what he meant with the women is "Vince won't let me give the women more time"

The only thing funnier than Austin's quick conversion to an NXT fan is how predictable it was once he actually sat down and started watching the product.

"This ain't no sales pitch, but for $9.99 a month, it's almost worth it just to watch that show... they come on the air with a match in the ring, guys have heat, and they put on a pro wrestling show."

I don't know what else that COULD mean, given his position in the company and previously saying writing three hours of TV is too long.

Somewhere in CT Vince is furious, because Austin used the quality of the product to put the Network over, rather than just saying $9.99 and leaving it at that.

Holy crap that Observer was drat near unlistenable. I usually like Mike but his style of rambling on and not letting Dave answer completely killed his show. He speaks like someone who writes using commas instead of periods. The audio problems from Skype were annoying but letting a 30 second window of dead air remain on the final posted audio clip is unforgivable. Christ, I know poo poo about audio stuff but I could still remove that in 10 seconds in Audacity.
