0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Fleet.
0:19.0	Oh, hello, my friends, and welcome back to another audio adventure.
0:25.1	Here on Insight, I'm CBV, Chris Van Fleet.
0:28.6	Thank you for being with us wherever you are in the world.
0:31.1	Whatever you're doing right now, whether you're walking the dog and you're driving to work
0:35.1	or you're working out, whatever it is. I appreciate you for being with us.
0:39.4	And thank you for making insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet.
0:45.7	Hit a Hurricane Rana on that follow button on Spotify or Apple so you don't miss out on any of the interviews that we have coming up.
0:53.1	And now I'm thinking about how someone's going to try to do a Huracanana on their phone.

1:19.5	during Royal Romual Weekend in Indianapolis. This was before it was announced that he would be
1:24.5	the new co-lead writer of SmackDown. But we did talk about when he was
1:29.6	previously the writer on SmackDown. And I asked him, like, what was the storyline you tried to push
1:35.3	through that you thought would be amazing that just didn't work out? And his answer is going to shock you.
1:40.9	It had had WrestleMania implications, as they say. And I just think
1:47.5	you'll be surprised by it. But it was great to talk to him about his Hall of Fame career in the
1:53.6	ring and everything he's done since. And I just appreciate his honesty and his self-awareness.
