Do you think WWE will ever consider adding current house show events to the WWE network? I believe they do tape them so I think it might be a good idea to do a compilation of house show matches on the network. It might even boost house show attendance if it is seen as a taping.

All of them? No I don't see that ever happening. I would like to see them pick one show a weekend and put it on the Network, like they used to do in the old days in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. I think it would be a cool idea for a Saturday night. WWE takes you to the matches, or something like that.

There’s been a lot of talk surrounding the inevitable break-up of The Shield. Personally, I don’t care for the idea of Roman Reigns going single leaving Rollins and Ambrose a team still as it de-values the trio stable of The Shield. I also thing that Ambrose and Rollins (who has really begun to shine and connect with the audience) flounder aimlessley in a 2 man tag-team whilst Reigns is pushed through the roof. All three guys have the potential to be huge in my opinion and I am genuinely praying that creative don’t screw it up. Anyway, how would you like to see The Shield break up?

Honestly, I think there is a lot of juice in playing them as tough babyfaces and I would like to see WWE do that with them. I think they would be very cool in a 2014 version of a babyface Horsemen group. But if/when they split them up Reigns has to be the first guy they try to make a top single. He has it all and I think he is a can't miss (providing nothing out of the ordinary happens).

Considering Kofi hasn't had a major storyline in almost 5 years. Do you think it would be a good idea if he did a heel turn and joined the Wyatts? He could do sort of a Billy Kidman/Raven's Flock type gimmick, but the Wyatt version.

I don't like it at all. Kofi's style is that a babyface and he just doesn't go with the Wyatts to me. They are big, tough dudes. Kofi is a smaller flyer. He definitely needs a change of some kind, but going with the Wyatts isn't it.

What was the original Wrestlemania XXX plan for Daniel Bryan if CM Punk did not walk out?

The original plan the was for him to take on Sheamus. Punk going home has had a nice benefit for Bryan but to be honest it would have had to come anyway. The fans at the Rumble were calling for him before Punk even went home.

I think the WWE Creative team is bereft of ideas. How come they cannot find better spots for the biggest show on their calendar for majority of their roster, hence the lazily-contrived Andre the Giant battle Royal. What are we going to be doing with 3-4 hours of TV with just a handful of matches? Isn't it a waste that it's likely the Intercontinental and US titles don't have a spot so far on Mania three weeks to the show because of a lack of build towards those titles and the respective champs are going into a useless battle royal that won't mean anything tangible down the line. It's just my opinion but I think that so far, creative cannot do a better job building up the biggest show of the wrestling industry this year.

The fact of the matter is, they tend to book the top programs and everything else kind of suffers. There are a bunch of guys in the Battle Royal that I agree deserve better, but at least they will get a WrestleMania payday (whatever that turns out to be now that the Network has changed the dynamic of them).
