Wade Keller: I was going to say, people who don't know you well but think they wouldn't like you who have been around Kevin Dunn now like you more (after ripping Dunn).
Eric Bischoff: (laughs)
Keller: Because they would have thought maybe those two would have gotten along because of their perception of you and now that you see Kevin the same way they do, they'll like you a lot better.
Bischoff: He's a world class jackass.
Keller: Do you think that he enables some of Vince's bad tendencies?
Bischoff: Absolutely. I think Kevin first, Stephanie second, and I think Triple H gets a lot more heat than he deserves. I don't think Vince has quite as much respect for Triple H's input as people think he does, but he's so obviously there and through Stephanie he can influence decisions. But I think Kevin is the most guilty and probably has the most access and influence over Vince McMahon.
