He talks about his first time meeting Vince McMahon, odd McMahon quirks, the crazy Vince "burrito story," what Triple H's interpersonal skills were like, how Vince reacted to his pitch for a Nazi character for John Heidenreich, the process of writing "See No Evil" for WWE Films, what he thinks WWE did wrong in their approach to entering the movie industry and what Vince said his goal was initially, thoughts on the Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar debacle at WM20, backstage impressions of John Cena, Undertaker, JBL, and Randy Orton, and much more. He also talks about a Kickstarter project based around a graphic novel series starring Ultimo Dragon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.
