Do you feel that Ambrose's Stone Cold podcast was a deciding factor of WWE taking the World Title off him, or no? Was him doing that interview in such a guarded matter a way to protect his character? He really came off as having ZERO personality.

It could have factored in but I just feel that it was more due to the fact that the reign just didn’t get over.  I think he was also hurt a bit by having to defend at first against Dolph Ziggler, who through no fault of his own was not a hot challenger so the crowd at SummerSlam just didn’t care about the match.

Cruiserweight Classic.  I loved it. But I was really surprised at how slim Zach Sabre Jr is. I absolutely understand not wanting to use steroids and/or be huge. But he doesn't even look like he lifts...  Is this something that he has spoken about? Or been asked about in interviews? It seems like his career might be improved if he were a larger man, at least maybe?  What do you guys think? 

If he has, I haven’t heard it but I noticed it too.  He is young and definitely needs to fill out in my opinion.  I don’t think that he has to turn into Road Warrior Hawk, or even John Cena, but I agree that look is important.

What do you think of Paul Heyman as a mouthpiece for Baron Corbin?

I don’t think Corbin needs it.  He can talk on his own.  It comes down to how he is booked really.  Beyond that, whenever WWE has put Heyman with someone other than Brock Lesnar, it has failed.  I say let Corbin talk.  He can do it.

Do you think that the Money in the Bank ladder match will return at WrestleMania 33 which would mean dropping the MITB PPV? 

I tend to think no.  With two brands contributing matches, Mania should be more loaded than ever next year.  It will be interesting to see how they handle the MITB matches though.  You know, Survivor Series is the only Big Four gimmick that doesn’t have the buzz to it.  Maybe they should add MITB to that show.

I have a question regarding the WWE's Wellness Program testing and the USADA's testing. Given the news about Brock Lesnar failing a USADA test, do you think it was smart of the WWE to release the comment about Lesnar not having worked for them since WrestleMania given the fact he is under contract with WWE and their tests are supposed to be random.  

I think it wasn’t handled well and it got worse when they used the excuse that Brock isn’t subjected to the tests.  In my opinion, anyone that wrestles regularly should be subject to the test, no exceptions.  If the goal is the health of the talent, no one should be exempt in my opinion.  It also shows a degree of double standard.
