On Tough Enough, Jason Jordan was the guy who they had the contestants practice their moves on.  Now he's NXT Tag champion.  What do you think an established guy like Jordan thought when he was assigned to the job of taking moves from rookies with no prior experience?

Well, he was still pretty young himself at the time.  If it were me, I would be happy to get the exposure.

In your most expert opinion, why in the world do you think this year’s WM did the business it did when WM 29 and 30 had stronger cards than this one. I’m really scratching my head on this as the card was flat and the show itself was flat too.

In a nutshell, I think it’s just that it’s WrestleMania and the name and the event sells itself.  People buy tickets to be at the spectacle.  And know when they buy the tickets, they aren’t guaranteed any kind of great card.  They buy tickets just to be there.  With that said, there very well may come a time where someone says to themselves, “I didn’t like the last two shows so I won’t do it this year”.  It’s kind of like how TV ratings are influenced over time, not just by the show that aired that week.  Only the people buying the tickets know when they get to that point.

There's a rumor circulating about Taker's last wrestled match on TV because of him removing & throwing his Gloves at the end of the match. He's scheduled to wrestle on UK tour. Any update about it?

There was talk after Mania that Taker was intimating that we could have seen his last WrestleMania match.  We have heard that talk before but at 51 years old, with each year the door does close a little more.  I have said for years now that we should enjoy Taker and what we get from him because we don’t know how much longer he will be around.  Sooner or later, that will be it for Taker.  He will make the call when that is.

Much like how SmackDown should have Mauro Ranallo and Jerry Lawler without Byron Saxton, should the same apply for Michael Cole and JBL for RAW?

I am with you.  I don’t have anything against Saxton either.  My gripe is with three man announce teams.  They are just too busy and they often are distracting.  I like two man teams myself.

Even though it's probably a long shot of him taking part, could Low Ki be a perfect participant in the upcoming Global Cruiserweight Series?

Wow, that would be quite a step back from him.  Essentially, the tournament is for new, young talent.  He is neither of those thing.
