IS DX WORTHY OF THE PRAISE, KOFI'S NEW OLD HOME, VAMPIRES IN WWE, WARRIOR IN THE HALL OF FAME AND MORE

We've all noticed over the years the sucking up the announcers due for DX..especially Triple H but who are they really kidding by referring to them as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. I think it was Cole who said it. What have the really done as a tag team? But up thrown together tag teams. The boss and his son? I believe they held tag team gold before but isn't it a joke to consider them as a tag team with a lot of other REAL tag teams from past years. Sure they're great single wrestlers but great tag team? I don't know.

First off, all you hear on WWE TV is hype, not necessarily factually correct stuff.  WWE says whatever they want because they can.  It's their product and they don't let the truth stand in the way of putting something over however they want to put it over.  To be fair however, DX does draw money and that is far more important than any title that has been given to a team (not won).  Plus, the group itself was a major part of WWE's turnaround a decade ago, so WWE can actually justify a lot of what they say about DX.  

Why is Kofi Kingston "from" West Africa all of a sudden? Michael Cole sure as heck "forgot" he was "from" somewhere else a few weeks ago pretty quickly. Silly WWE minds.

Yes, they sure are silly.  They market the guy as being Jamaican all this time and suddenly now say that he is from Africa.  The funny thing is that shortly after Kofi debuted, a story broke that he was actually from Ghana and he was forced to deny it.  Now, they say it.  I don't get them sometimes.

I know that Kevin Thorn was a victim of creative not knowing how to handle the character but with all the success of vampires on TV, movies and novels, has there been any talk of bringing in another version or at least a "PG" version of it (since that's the way things are, hopefully just for now)? Again love the site, hate the Super Cena character!

I haven't heard any talk about it but it wouldn't shock me since WWE tends to try and be current.  Also, they are TVPG now so it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to go in that direction.  Thus far, they had one vampire gimmick that worked (in The Brood) and one that didn't in Thorn.

Do you think the Warrior would agree to "peacefully" be inducted into the HOF if WWE didn't make him pay the 20K in legal fees?

It's really hard to tell what Warrior will do in any situation.  My hunch is that IF WWE even wanted him in the Hall, he would not be easy about it.  He hasn't really ever been so why start now? 

What do you think TNA can do to raise their ratings? There show is pretty good most week but it seems like they are reaching the same audience. What can they do to grow their number?

I think that the best thing that they could do is increase their brand awareness inside and outside of the wrestling fan base.  I think that there are a number of WWE fans out there that would give them a chance if they knew about them.  I am not a big fan of of the Raw guest host concept but it does get them publicity and the possibility of getting new fans.  I think that if TNA could get their name out there to people who don't know they exist, that (along with booking a great product) would be the best way to bring in new fans.
