Now that charges against him have been dismissed, do you think any prominent U.S. promotions should consider giving Teddy Hart one more chance? Obviously, WWE wouldn't risk it, but maybe ROH,  TNA or even NXT in a dark match? He's a huge risk, but uber-talented and could certainly generate some fan interest. Thoughts?

And, he is 36 years old.  The problem is that he has had so much baggage in the past that the risk reward wouldn’t be high enough for me to take him on.  ROH has a corporate parent, so that would factor in as well.  If it’s me, I just consider the risk vs. the reward and it wouldn’t be worth it.

In terms of popularity, I get it, but logistically does it make sense for Foley to be Stephanie's GM choice for RAW considering he is basically a face and she is a heel?

I look at it like she wanted to bring in the best person for the job.  She has been kind of a heel, but not the Authority version, so I don’t have a problem with it storyline wise.  And if they ramp her up, it could lead to conflict between them (not that I want to see that).

Watching Raw, when Mick Foley came out for his segment, was it just me, or did he somehow seem different? He looked different (better groomed), he spoke differently (more subdued), and that really odd conversation with Daniel Bryan. What do you think is going on, or am I just imagining things?

He is definitely in better shape than he has been in quite some time.  I was happy to see how good he looked physically.  As for how he speaks, his role is to be management now so he should be more measured in what he says on the shows.  He isn’t playing the role of a wrestler anymore.

Is it safe to assume that any of those names listed in the lawsuit won't be going into The WWE Hall Of Fame any time soon?  If that is the case, how long do you think it will be before a deserving person or team (Demolition, for example) will have to wait?

If I am the McMahon family, I would sure as hell not put anyone that is a party to the lawsuit into the Hall.  Frankly, my layman’s take on the suit is that it is frivolous.  The plaintiffs are saying that WWE held back information on concussions and CTE that weren’t even known at the time.  How could someone hold back something that wasn’t known?  Plus, some of the people on the suit barely worked for the WWF and in some cases were the guys that gave head injuries, not the ones that took them.  The Hall is a gift, not a right, and you don’t give gifts to people that sue you.

So Roman was suspended for 30 days. I notice it was 30 calendar days, not 30 working days. Well event days in this case. He's suspended on days where WWE has no event booked anywhere. That makes no sense. I understand the long breaks with no events, such as WM, but hey you did the crime you do the time. To me that sounds just a little bit lenient. Your thoughts?

The policy has always been a 30 calendar day suspension.  The wrestler loses 1/12 of their pay.  I think the policy is fine as is.
