He notes that he and Michael Hayes, along with the other writers would write Sunday Night Heat in roughly 10 minutes after their Smackdown production meeting. He says that writing Heat was a lot of fun due to the unpredictable nature of the show. Edge informs that the talents looked at Heat as a legitimate vehicle for them because they thought they might be able to get away with more without McMahon looking over their shoulders.
Blacha informs that he rose to prominence in the company after writing a couple of successful promos for The British Bulldog, who was known to struggle with promos. He then wrote a lot for Kurt Angle early on, including Angle’s initial heel turn and Angle’s “Three I’s”.
Edge asks Blacha if anyone was hard to work with back then. Blacha didn’t think anyone was really hard to work with, but he notes that Triple H could be a little “funky, reserved and weird” from time to time. However, he gained a lot of respect for Triple H over the years, noting that Triple H’s accomplishments during that time is underrated when compared to The Rock and Austin.
