You mentioned thinking WWE would retract a HOF induction or not put someone in HOF if they were in a hardcore porn film. Do you feel this would be done in a sexist manner or would it also apply to X-Pac?

X Pac had one thing he did, and has since rehabilitated his life and took ownership for it. There is no reason to bring him into it. If he were to sign to do a porn movie in 2015, then there would be something to it.

I was reading a comment about the 4 Horsewomen of NXT coming up to the main roster. If WWE wants to change women’s wrestling, what better way than to have Ric Flair come in as the manager of the group a la JJ Dillon. That would automatically legitimize WWE women’s wrestling. And would make sense as he has a vested interest in Charlotte's career.  I think it would also be cool to see Paige come out and announce her self as a Paul Heyman girl. Her music kind of reminds me of ECW intro music.  It would be cool if they just had a 1 hour/week women’s wrestling show on WWE network as well.

I would rather just see them come on the scene and let their work do the talking for them. Ronda Rousey doesn’t need a manager, and I don’t think the NXT Divas do either. They can just work and show how good they are. I wouldn’t have an issue with a Network show down the road, but I would rather see them establish the “new” women’s division on Raw first. Plus, it would be something new to help them fill three hours on Monday night.

Seth Rollins' run as WWE champion is reminding me more and more each week of Chris Jericho's run when he was Stephanie's whipping boy.  He is being portrayed as a whiny crybaby who can't do anything on his own.  I get the whole "make the heel champ look beatable" concept, but I think they way they are portraying him is hurting his image more than anything.  Plus, whoever beats him will look unimpressive since they just beat a guy who can't win on his own.  What is your opinion of Seth's run as WWE champion so far?

As I type this on Sunday before the PPV I can tell you Mike Eps and I said the exact same thing yesterday on our show. The only way I can see them turning this around is if Seth steps up and becomes his own man and breaks away from The Authority to show he doesn’t need them, but does it in a good, not whiny, way.

If Destination America gets decent rating with ROH, do you think they'll eventually want a show of original matches not already shown in syndication and possibly expand to two hours?  I don't think two hours of ROH on one night and two hours of TNA on another night is a bad idea at all.  It could possibly lead to some competition for the WWE and the USA network down the road.

I think it’s way to soon to say. If they decided TNA is getting too much money but they want to keep Impact, they will probably tell them if they want to stay on the network they will have to take a pay cut. Then TNA will have to decide what they want to do. Until all of that plays out, it’s just to hard to see where this will all go. But this is clear, if ROH keeps growing their audience, they gain more power (and TNA will be affected by that).

With Zayn and Itami out for some time (two real stars there) wouldn't it be a good idea with the optimism in NXT to really "push" up one or two guys in the card?

I expect that they will do that, they always have. For now, they have Kevin Owens with Finn Balor waiting in the wings. They have time.
