Here are a few quotes pulled from the podcast:
Austin: I can’t say that the guys aren’t as passionate as we were. I can’t say that because I think they are, but, I think, Vince(Russo), it’s the micromanagement, it was the freedom… I think it has to do with the creative freedom.”
Austin:“I think these guys today in the locker room, I just think that the world, it’s the whole world, Vince. Everything is so P.C. and the micromanagement. I think everybody is almost walking on eggshells because WCW is not around anymore. TNA, with all due respect, they’re still around, but nobody wants to work there if you don’t have to. The other promotions, I don’t need to name it, I think the micromanagement has got the ceiling keeping a lot of people from getting over.”
