Also both HHH and Vince did shoot interviews with Austin and I didn't see Austin pull any punches in terms of questions. Jericho also did a lengthy interview with HHH. Again, they covered a lot of stuff. That's what I'm saying about getting the info from the horses mouth instead of the guy who reports things like "there will be SOME change to Smackdown". How is that reporting? How about "Brock v Owens isn't on tap for Mania". Okay cool, if your sources are on point you should have the top matches or at least what Brock's match is. But he doesn't because his sources are garbage.
If you read his stuff week after week its literally littered with that kind of stuff. Then when he's flat out wrong about something, it's "plans changed". That's why as s "journalist" I rank his stuff along side those Weekly World News publications they used to have in grocery stores.

Completely ignore the fact that you're evidence that Vince & HHH will do interviews with anyone who tries hard enough to get an interview is based on the fact that they've done a few interviews in the past with two guys who 1. worked for and were big, successful stars for the company, 2. probably had relatively good/close relationships with them and 3. who are basically celebrities outside of wrestling now too that also have big followings of non-wrestling and wrestling fans. Let's say that you're presumption is true, anyone who tries hard enough to get in touch with HHH or Vince or Stephanie or Dunn, would be able to do so, even a legit reporter or someone from a dirt sheet.
I've yet to hear Austin or Jericho (or even someone from an actual non dirt sheet news publisher like NYT, Sports Illustrated, etc.) ever ask someone in the position of Vince or HHH, "So, what are the main event plans for the next PPV or the next Mania?" or "What are the future creative plans for Superstar X?". Let alone have I heard them ever answer a question like that. That's because Vince, HHH & co. have no incentive to 1. tell them the plans and 2. be truthful about the plans. What would be the point? They'd be giving away the outcome and costing themselves potential revenues. Not to mention the fact that they can (and likely do) change the plans as needed or desired.
