This was actually a great listen. Shawn comes off very well imo. He talks about how NXT is run. His answer to the Veer question and other answers should be very awesome too hear for fans of NXT and wrestling fans in general.
He doesn't mention Vince by name, but he doesn't hold back how how things are different. Nothing crazy, but still weird too hear on a media call.

Honestly wish he would address why certain talents are getting little TV time. Sarray springs to mind as the number 1 offense there, but even talents like Jiro and Ivy have gotten little actual TV time as of late.

"We're trying to make Halloween Havoc more associated with NXT instead of WCW" I get it, I really do... but at the same time, WCW has been dead and gone for over 20 years, and only the most hardcore of fanbases at this point seems overly interested in so much as even trying to Ouija Board it. |

Really cool.
Shawn really seems humble here in saying multiple times he is using himself as a cautionary tale of what not to do since it affected him negatively mentally.

I know HHH was probably under more pressure when he was running NXT, but there does seem to be a difference in how HBK handles these calls vs. how HHH did.

I'll never forget Dave asking Hunter a question on his final Takeover Conference Call which led to like a 10 minute long rant on all of the things that were bothering him. |

No muffins, no chairs being yeeted at somebody, no instances of cannibalism. What the f*** kind of media interaction is this? |

Not gonna lie, "Deadline" sounds like a pretty lame name for a PPV event

I'll listen to the rest later, but I liked the part where HBK talked about tolerance, not wanting to do things the old school way and not caring "if we're a softer, gentler generation now." Dude's the complete opposite of Taker. 😂

It was a great listen. I appreciated hearing more about his philosophy.
