Blacha informs that it can be tough dealing with critical fans sometimes. He admits that there might be lots of stuff to pick apart, but he doesn’t understand why fans can’t just try to enjoy the product instead of picking it all apart. Sometimes fans ask him, “What were you thinking?”, or “You blew it with that guy”. Blacha informs that ‘that guy’ had plenty of chances to get himself over as well, and the creative team can’t be solely to blame.
Blacha informs that he was actually the guy who delivered the hand from Mae Young that the iconic attitude era segment. He’s not sure to this day why he was given that role, but it was interesting nonetheless. He mentions that the initial idea was to get Mae Young pregnant but then one day McMahon wanted to end the angle abruptly. This was McMahon’s way of ending the angle quickly.
He adds that McMahon might be lightning rod for fans, but McMahon used to love to be proved wrong. Sure, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk mightn’t have been McMahon’s ideal Champion in terms of body size, but he heard the fans and gave both of them the Title at different points.
That sums up this week’s episode of the E&C Pod of Awesomeness. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
