INDUCTING THE POFFOS, WARRIOR, WHO'S THE NEXT BIG WWE STAR AND MORE

It's great that WWE is not putting Cena in the main events on RAW or Smackdown.bit the question is who do you think is the new breakout star? Bray Wyatt? I think they should push Dean Ambrose..which of the current talent u think will make it to the next step?

I would go with Roman Reigns, although WWE is doing a great job of bringing along everyone in The Shield and The Wyatt Family.

With the sad passing of the Ultimate Warrior if he had not been been inducted to the hall of fame this year, which thankfully he was, do you think he would have to ever been inducted? And do you think there was/would have been a better person to induct him than Linda McMahon? If so who?

I think that at some point, WWE would have had to induct Warrior. Warrior was among the top babyface characters of all time in WWE and was one of the most iconic performers in that company’s history. To not induct him would have been completely ridiculous, no matter what the circumstances are. I don’t know that anyone beyond Vince McMahon would have been better than Linda.

When/if Randy Savage's family allows him to be inducted since Lenny would give the acceptance speech who do you think should induct him?

I’d like to see Lanny induct his brother and have Savage’s wife accept.

Do you anticipate the normal round of post-mania releases this year. I think that with the network and all of the investors’ eyes on the company, they may not do the wholesale style they have done in the past. Maybe one or two at a time, then wait awhile.’

No I don’t, because they have so much content to create and fill. My gut is that they will just let contracts cycle out and replace from within with NXT talents. If someone fails a Wellness test or runs afoul of the company, they will be let go, but beyond that, I don’t get any impression we are looking at a wholesale slaughter in terms of releases.

Does the WWE still plan to debut the Monday Night War series on the network?

Yes, it will debut this summer. WWE has always stated that was the timeframe for the series.
