    Everyone he speaks to seems to understand this and because of that - they always give him their very best interviews.
    Triple H has really added brand new fresh creative energy to WWE and it really does feel different than it has in years.
    It is going to be great seeing him bring his own brand new vision over the next several years.

    I love the way how this interview went. Raw, unfiltered and no stones were left unturned. This is what WWE suppose to be heading towards to in terms of their talent pool, storylines etc. Bringing back those talents that were released increased their roster pool between Raw and SD was a superb move by HHH. It’s now really a fresh breathe of air here with HHH in charge as compared to Vince and that HHH is receptive to ideas from talents and giving what fans want and have been yearning for so long. Ariel don’t get much credit for doing such interviews but this is one if not his best interview with HHH.

The question about Brock storming off when he heard Vince was gone and how Triple H answered it candidly. He cut away the sensationalism and emphasized the relatability of the situation. I know he wasn’t intending to, but it was a great example of how over-hyped a rumor can get, when at the end of the day it’s just a person who, like nearly any of us, would react to the news of a change in our lives.
