Do you think Roman Reigns lack of crowd support has been because of Daniel Bryan's lack of push? I think it is more down to him still dressing like the Shield entering like the Shield and still using the music, the other 2 have moved on but he hasn’t, thoughts?

I don’t think his outfit or music has anything to do with it. I think the reaction was 100 percent due to Vince McMahon choosing to bring Bryan back at the Rumble and then eliminating him quickly.

With Triple H taking a stance on the induction of Chyna to the Hall of Fame, does that mean her co-star Sean "X-Pac" Waltman will never go in either? 

Hard to say. The case you could make is that was a “celebrity sex tape” while Chyna made the decision to do porn movies. As I said yesterday, there is also the matter of giving her a live mic. If you watch her recent YouTube interviews, I don’t blame WWE for not wanting to put her on stage.

With Roman Reigns getting the monstrous push between SummerSlam and Wrestlemania he was out for action for 3 of those 7 months.  Do you think all the criticism towards him that maybe being out for that amount of time really hurt his momentum more than anything else?

Actually no I don’t, at least not that much. He was kind of cooling off before he got hurt. I think it was more due to him not making a big jump in his solo matches

Is there anyone who actually believes there's a chance Daniel Bryan will beat Roman Reigns? It seems obvious that the plan is for Bryan to put over Reigns both literally and figuratively -something along the lines of raising Roman's hand and declaring him the "better man" after the match, I'd imagine -with the thinking that Bryan's endorsement will translate to more fan support for Reigns. But isn't there an immense possibility of this backfiring and making a bad situation for WWE even worse, as the increasingly smarter-to-the-business fan base will see it for exactly what it is?

Sure, it could always backfire, but it could work as well. It’s all in how it is booked, and how much Roman steps up his game. If he shows he is worthy, it could become an elevation moment. I don’t blame them for trying. They had to try something if they were convinced that they weren’t going to use Bryan at the top.

Do you feel Ryback is pass due for the title or is he still too one dimensional of a performer?

I don’t think he is ready for the Title yet but if he keeps improving and can stay healthy, he could be down the road. He has a chance.
