PROMOTIONS RUNNING THE SAME BOUT AROUND THE SAME TIME, STEPHEN COLBERT ON RAW, BEST WRESTLING MOVIES AND MORE

I see The Young Bucks vs. The Hardys are scheduled for a number of different indy groups. Then, Young Bucks vs. Bad Influence are also scheduled for a lot of groups around the same time and in the same place. Why do promoters often run the same match like that? Isn't that hurting each other?

If they are in the same geographic area, sure it could be hurting the other, but the reality is that the indies are a haphazard , every man and promotion for itself realm.

I saw CZW has an iPPV this weekend. How are the quality of their streams?

The streams are excellent. Highspots.com handles that aspect and they are great. If you watch the show, send us thoughts!

I've noticed some more Japanese mentions on the site of late. Are you going to be doing more coverage?

As much as we can with the time allowed. Our readership stats show that the lion's share of the reader interest is WWE, but I've been wanting to do more Japanese coverage for some time as New Japan especially has a great product and I've always missed writing about that scene. Now that the Tokyo Dome will be airing on live PPV, it's going to be something we will be covering more in-depth and we are looking into adding some writers and audio to help cover that scene.

Did you really say you'd want Stephen Colbert to host Raw? You know that will never happen!

I never said I thought it would happen. I said that of all the unlikely people to host, I'd pick Colbert as I think that would be the ultimate fish out of water guest host for WWE and he's hilarious in everything - but I'd also love to have the Muppets back too!

What's the best wrestling movie?

I personally love "Beyond the Mat", "Wrestling with Shadows", "Barbed Wire City" and "The Wrestler."
