GREAT IDEA FOR WWE’S HALL OF FAME, HEADLINING THIS YEAR, NO DON’T TURN ROMAN REIGNS HEEL AND MORE

With regards to your answer about Hall of Fame headliners, if Kevin Nash is inducted this year as expected, why would they have him headline over Macho Man?  Not taking anything away from Nash, but Savage would be far and away the clear headliner in most people's eyes, in any year.  Is it because, sadly, Savage is no longer with us and they prefer to have the headliner actually there?

If Savage were alive, he would headline for sure, without a doubt. If WWE has a headliner that they can close the show with on a high note, they will always do that. I understand completely and would probably do the same thing in their position.

I've seen questions, and share the concern about WWE running out of legit headliners and candidates for their Hall of Fame. What do you think of WWE inducting/honoring legendary matches into their Hall of Fame?  An example; you could 'induct' Bret Hart & Steve Austin from WM13, have them give an acceptance appearance. Do you think this is a worthy consideration?

I like that idea. It would help them fill the void too by having the participants accept and give speeches. I like it.

I know you don't want Reigns to turn heel, but wouldn't that be the business best move at this point? Considering it's so close to mania and there's no chance him truly getting over as a face in such a short time span. Lesnar is going into this match as the face, no matter how good Paul Heyman promos are.  I think you'll agree when Reigns goes over, he's gonna be booed out of the building worse then the Rumble anyway, unless Seth cashes in.

I don’t think it is best for business. If Reigns can do what he did against Daniel Bryan when he wrestles Brock, he has a chance to win the crowd at Mania over. Even if he doesn’t win them over, you have to look to the future. You can’t knee jerk book for one day.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Vince told Hall and Nash, that he rather have half the crowd cheering for who he wanted, instead of the whole crowd cheering for whoever they wanted to? If so, that explains a lot of things like the way Cena is booked and the way Bryan is overlooked despite being the most over in the company right now.  It's also extremely childish, not to mention bad business.

I don’t know if he ever told that but from what I know, I think the statement is true. After all he wasn’t kidding when he said he knows what we want better than we do.

I was reading a question about The Rock coming out after Roman wins, and congratulating him kind of like he did at the rumble. What if after he raises his hand he turns on him, hits a rock bottom, and then Seth comes out and cashes in. Thus setting up a match at WM 32 between Rock and Roman.

I hate that idea on pretty much every level. But most importantly the Rock is a babyface to the WWE fans, period. He has too much goodwill to waste it like that.
