The first season of Tough Enough from back in 2001 which I thought was excellently done by the way.  The filming and interviews were nicely paced and no annoying music in the background. I remember they filmed the show at the Stamford tracks along the metro north railroad. What building exactly was that? Was it right near or part of the WWE Headquarters?  Because it looked like a warehouse.  And is it still around today?

It was a warehouse for sure, near the WWE headquarters. I don’t know if it’s still around.

Is Triple H the biggest egomaniac in the history of Pro Wrestling or what? You know he BS'd Sting into agreeing with a match at Mania. "Oh I'll let you wrestle Undertaker...next year, but this year we've gotta see if you can wrestle OUR way." I'm almost sure that's exactly how the conversation went. I mean does Paul think he has to have say-so over everything? It's Sting, the only guy that's never wrestled for WWE that's a major player. He really can't go a day without hogging the spotlight, can he?

Dude, you have some conspiracy issues. Take a chill pill. Seriously. Sting is no dummy. He can’t be easily manipulated and doesn’t do what he doesn’t want to do. The Triple H conspiracy theories are getting beyond ridiculous.

With all the backlash against Roman Reigns, I have to ask this.  If the “IRC” was as predominant in the late 90’s as it was now, don’t you think that The Rock and Stone Cold would have been hated as well?  It just seems like all the so called “smart” fans are just looking to hate whoever is pushed.  Like a bunch of wrestling hipsters. 

Actually it was around back then. There were “smart” crowds all over. And Rock didn’t get over at first in WWE, nor did Austin as the Ringmaster. When they upped their game, they did, just as they would if they came along today and were allowed to do what they did back then.

With the WWE Network up and running, do you think WWE will ever produce a documentary on the day Chris Benoit took the lives of 2 innocent people. I don't mean a career retrospective, but an honest documentary of what happened on that day using fact not fiction. Kind of like a show you'd see on the Discovery channel. Perhaps even getting some the superstars to tell how they felt at time and now.  And I am not one of those weirdos, who believe because he may have been a good wrestler he should be forgiven for the heinous crimes he committed.

I don’t ever see them doing it. There is nothing to gain from them doing a project like that. They don’t want to bring the subject back up in the media and I don’t blame them. And really, what is there to tell? A guy went insane and killed his family. It’s a pretty short story, unless you get into the possibility that drugs and/or shots to the head led to him doing it, and WWE wants to stay even further away from that subject.

When the announcement of Randy Savage's impending induction into WWE Hall of Fame aired as a breaking news report on the WWE Network (as did the Roman Reigns injury)  it got me thinking.  Couldn't the Network be used for more of that?  Say Dean Ambrose beat Bad News Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship at a house show. The Network could air a "post match" interview-pre taped, obviously as they know the results ahead of time. This would accomplish three things: make the Network more of a must-see; allow house shows to become more important therefore boosting attendance, and boosting the perception that "anything can happen in the WWE". Your thoughts?

I would love if they did things like that. If there was a “What you missed because you weren’t watching” element to the Network, it could only be a positive.
