The fact that Paul Levesque has complete creative control over his Triple H character, doesn't it bother anybody that he makes himself appear greater than he really is? He's had a greater win/loss record because of this and a greater "legacy" too. I mean, he is trying to make others believe he's greater than Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin and others just because that's how he makes himself appear to be. To be me it is an abuse of his position of being VP of Talent in WWE.

If he actually had creative control over his character, what you said would hold weight. But, he doesn't. His father-in-law does. He has some leeway, like other top talent, but the course is set by Vince McMahon.

Everyone keeps saying that Hulk Hogan should be an ambassador for WWE. Do you not think that Hogan and Kurt Angle have done enough damage to their reputations via twitter and radio interviews where they seem to excel at speaking rubbish and with Hogan just outright lies!!!! Surely a best in your future endeavours waiting to happen?

If saying dopey things on Twitter cost people jobs, there would be a lot of unemployed people out there. Hogan is a natural fit in the role as ambassador/WWE Network talent. Hogan is doing all he can to get a WWE deal done.

I was watching a clip recently on Youtube of Kevin Nash as Oz in WCW. The clip was taken from WWE 24/7. Anyway, in the clip Oz's original theme music was edited out / dubbed over in place for something else. Any reason for that?

When that happens it is due to WWE not having the rights to use the music.

I've seen Dave and Mike talk about TNA and their direction a bunch of times, specifically how they seem content of trying to be "WWE-lite" instead of finding their own niche. If you were in charge what niche would you carve for TNA going forward, cause to me, currently, they just seem lost and have this "throw some crap against the wall and see what sticks" attitude. Getting rid of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff is a great start.

If I were running TNA creative, I would go more old school. You can't go back to the eighties, but I would focus more on the TNA Title, issues between the wrestlers and violently bringing those issues to the forefront. WWE is already doing too much talking and comedy so TNA should minimize that.

What do you think the longevity of the Wyatt family is? It's an original, interesting gimmick, so of course creative is gonna kill it. Personally I see Rowan and Harper becoming generic big men in short trunks, who have one match each and then are released, much like Shad Gaspard after Cryme Tyme and Luke Gallow post SES, what about you?

I think it could really, really far but like you I worry about creating taking a good thing and totally mucking it up. We have plenty examples from the past to make us feel that it's possible.
