Powell’s POV: The Undertaker interview should be interesting. I’m not sure why WWE stopped having Austin hosts “podcasts” on WWE Network, but it’s good to see him back in what seems to be a similar concept. The strategy of premiering the show after Survivor Series is logical in terms of having it stream right after an event that is sure to draw the network’s biggest audience for the month.
