As a follow up question to your response on Vince not wanting to sign a guy like Lashley, why wouldn't he want to?  Lashley has the look and body that Vince historically favors, not to mention his legitimate MMA background.

One thing that people tend to forget is that a lot goes on behind the scenes that we never heard about where Vince is concerned.  He has interacted with Lashley so those are things you will never hear about.  Outwardly, one thing Vince wants is a commanding presence through promos.  That isn’t Bobby’s strong suit.

In the new lawsuit, Jimmy Snuka is claiming that his current diminished mental state is due largely to his time in WWE.  From what I understand, his mental state is the reason why he cannot be tried for his murder charge.  If the lawsuit is unsuccessful, and common sense seems to dictate it will be, doesn't that contradict Snuka's whole dementia defense in his murder case?  What are the potential ramifications of this?

None.  His mental status was determined in a Pennsylvania court room and is not subject to the civil lawsuit.  They are entirely separate things. 

I feel like the WWE champion should be the # 1 pick if not it makes the champ look weak, do you agree?

Ordinarily, absolutely.  With that said, I knew Seth Rollins would be picked first and you could make the case very well.  He never lost the WWE Title when he got hurt.  He only lost to Dean Ambrose because of the Money In The Bank cash in.  And, Steph hates him.  Now, if he Ambrose went past the second pick, I would have had a major problem with that.

Now that Smackdown is going live will Vince be at the gorilla for both shows?

As I type this on Sunday, the show hasn’t happened yet.  If a gun is at my head and I have to be right or I will be shot, I will say yes without hesitation.  He will have his hands all over Smackdown.

With this new lawsuit WWE is presented with - it seems like 3/4 of WWF roster from 80's is on it....do you think it will prevent guys like Demolition, King Kong Bundy, Kamala, and other big names from making it to WWE Hall of Fame? 

I would hope so.  People that are a party to the suit are not anyone I would want to be associated with if I were the company.  It is probably safe to say that most of those named wouldn’t want to be inducted either.  Plus, most of the people that filed the suit would never get inducted anyway.
