“I don’t know anything about the court case other than what I’ve read online and different things like that,” Prichard said. “Me trying to comment on that is no different than any other media source commenting on it. I don’t know firsthand. I wasn’t there for that time. I want to tell stories of Punk in his early days in WWE and the growth before he exploded.
“We covered it on the podcast, and it did really well for us. He is topical, so it was a perfect way to end the season. And if they don’t pick us up for Season 2 — no, we hope to be back for Season 2. You always want to end on a high note. I think covering Punk in his early days is a high note.”
On why he believes his show was greenlit by WWE:
“The younger audience gets on their phones and lives and dies what’s on their phones,” Prichard said. “They go back and forth, constantly on Twitter. That’s how my son watches soccer and everything else, on his phone. They live and die by that.
“Your audience changes. When you see everyone else already doing it. People having success doing it outside the bubble. I think there is a point you have to say, ‘Well, maybe if it’s in the bubble, they’ll come for us for it. If we allow people with credibility and people who actually experienced some of it to tell that story and offers a completely different spin on it.
On being the only independently produced show on the WWE Network:
“But the content is ours. That’s something we have final approval on. We pick the subjects, and we write it, we do it, we perform it with no direction from them. Then we give them direction with the footage, and they come back with suggestions. That portion of it is pretty neat.”
