If you worked for TNA in any capacity, from janitor all the way up to TNA Champion, would you be looking for a way to jump ship?  Have you guys heard of anyone looking for an exit?  I can't imagine that any of the news surrounding TNA, even though the chancery court dropped Billy Corgan's injunction, would inspire confidence in any of the people who work there.  Nor would I be able to believe anything that comes out of management's mouths, especially Dixie Carter's.

First off, yes we have heard of talent wanting to leave.  David Lagana just DID leave.  They see the same things that we do.  TNA is just very, very poorly run at this point in time.  And yes, if I did work there in any capacity I would have been long gone by now.  I don’t like the way Dixie Carter runs the company and when I don’t like how things are being done, I move on.  The only way I could see staying there is if I had no other place to go.

If there are any concerns about the reception Hulk Hogan would receive if he were to come back to WWE, wouldn't it insure a bigger pop for The Hulkster if he were to show up in his "Hollywood" Hogan persona? It seems to me that the audience is more nostalgic of the NWO and I could only imagine the pop Hogan would receive if he came out to "Voodoo Chile”. Thoughts?

To follow, you think it makes more sense to bring him back as a WCW heel persona than in his classic WWE persona?  I don’t agree.  Hogan will get a Hogan pop no matter what gimmick he is in when he first appears, but nostalgia is about presenting the person in their most famous character, that means playing “Real American”.

I read n the Q&A, someone was worried about how Sasha was booked to look weak...IMO, she was booked very very strongly. I want to liken it to how Dusty, and Steamboat, were booked against Flair. (I'm dating myself in know) my question is or rather I want to ask your Opinion on my comparison.  Also I think Charolette has been booked a lot like her father! Long reign lose it, win it right back. Your thoughts?

Your comparison is apt.  Sasha kept fighting back after adversity. That keeps a babyface strong.

I don't get it. They show all these vignettes, for some time, promoting Curt Hawkins return, then they have him beaten in like 5 seconds! What is the point of that? 

It beats me.  I can’t explain it either.  A guy won’t get over if he isn’t given a chance, and Hawkins wasn’t.

With Kevin Owens looking like his next feud will be with Roman Reigns, and Dolph Ziggler defending the IC title against a Raw challenger.  Is WWE looking to unify the US and Universal titles, and thus bring the IC over to Raw?  Basically eliminating the US title.

If so, I haven’t heard that.  I don’t see the point.  They want Titles for both shows.  And when I saw the Smackdown angle I assumed it would lead to Miz demanding his rematch, or something along those lines.
