It's not the best one, it's not the great one.

You're speaking with the juices one.

And I think we got a good look at what Paul Lavek is capable of.

And I think what Paul Lavek is best at doing is managing the process, sifting through the good ideas, from the bad ideas and filling in the blanks.

I don't think Paul's sitting at a table coming up with ideas.

I think Paul has a very sophisticated, highly, highly capable team of people around him from Bruce Pritchard all the way down.

Ed Koski, who's been there since early 2000s, is a phenomenal writer and very, very experienced.

So I think what Paul's capable of doing is letting people who are good at what they do do the best they can without a whole lot of interference.

That was the problem with Vince.

My opinion, you know, the four or five months that I was there, you couldn't take a breath creatively unless it was approved in writing by Vince McMahon.

And even once it was approved, he could change his mind 45 minutes later.

I mean, it just, it was tough and stressful.

But it did bring out the best in a lot of people, so there may have been a method to that madness.

It was just him, but Paul, and the cool thing about Paul is that Paul's been on the receiving end of that.

Paul knows what it's like to have someone sitting at the head of the table, who's kind of all over the map and changes their mind and a minute's notice and just reacts to the last person they talk to and things like that.

So I think Paul will bring the best out of the extremely talented writing team that they have.
