Alex talked about his time on WWE\u2019s Creative Team in 2005-2006, thoughts on the brand split and first-hand stories of why it never reached its potential, plus fascinating insights into the McMahon Family with blunt comments on Shane, funny stories on Vince McMahon (including what he believes Vince would have done if he weren\u2019t a pro wrestling promoter), and reasons for his fondness for Stephanie McMahon. Great stories, great insights, and great analysis of the 2005-2006 time and today\u2019s push of Roman Reigns and similarities he sees between Roman and a candidate to be a top top star for WWE in the mid-2000s.
