      Sulu said it, and the keyword definitely is "manner". Ariel doesn't just ask questions in a respectful way, but also lets his guests talk, he doesn't interrupt or anything. Imagine if Conan had been in that interviewer seat (not that I hate Conan, and I do understand that they are two different sides of the same coin, but just imagine).

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.

    2022, Those are the few examples that made it worth watching,BUT!!!!! Pushing guys that are great as a member of a great faction like the shield Roman Reigns, is by far the most overrated overpushed 1 dementional guy in the buisness, hopefully now that HHH is in charge those days are over,the best way in my opinion as a lifelong loyal fan of wwe to improve the product is to get writers that are retired wrestlers,current wrestlers, and HOF wrestlers to write, REALLY REALLY truly listen to the fans and get rid of the writing staff thats been dragging wwe down for a while now, if they can manage to do that it will result in a better product for the future.
