-Ross on Daniel Bryan: "Daniel Bryan is red hot. It's SO time to harness that elusive emotion. Bryan's in ring skills & his viable 2nd gear are money. Fans want him to succeed. Hope they get their wish."

Powell's POV: Despite having the rug pulled out from under him after two WWE Championship wins, the live crowds are still reacting big time to Bryan. As over as his act is, I continue to question how many of those same fans are emotionally invested in Bryan's attempt win the title for a third time.

-Ross on The Wyatt Family: "I'll be surprised if Wyatt Family don't become fan favorites. What have they done to be considered bad guys?  Beat up Kane?"

Powell's POV: Gosh, I hope not. in fact, I hope the creative team reads this and realizes that they need to put some heat on the trio. They had a great introduction leading up to their debut, that same debut was hot, and it doesn't seem like the company put much thought into the act beyond that.

-Ross on Steve Austin's Podcast: "Check out the Steve Austin podcast as I was Steve's guest and we had another fun BS session. Proud of The Texas Rattlesnake and plan on going deer hunting w/ him on his Texas ranch this fall. I've got plenty of spare time :)"

Powell's POV: There's not much talk about Ross's retirement from WWE. They addressed the issue since this was Ross's first interview after that move was announced, but it was not the theme of the entertaining podcast.

Other topics include C.M. Punk in Chicago, where JR will be this weekend, The Rhodes family, Michael Cole, and more.
