With Sting getting a WWE title shot does he become the first wrestler in WWE history to ever receive a WWE Championship match without ever winning a WWE match prior.

I can’t think of anyone else. If there was I guarantee you someone will let me know and I will update it here. With that said, maybe WWE will have him get one before we get to the show.

Cool to see WWE investing time and effort into women's wrestling! Would be even cooler seeing Kana in a WWE ring. Do you see WWE making an attempt to go full "Joshi"? These women have a tremendous upside (especially Sasha Banks, a perfect storm in looks, age, personality, and ability). Down the line there should be a women’s tag title, a Intercontinental or/ US title etc. In the age of Ronda Rousey  and Serena Williams it's clear to me that WWE could get attention by creating a female Rock or Cena with full crossover mainstream potential. What do you think?

I think WWE needs to commit to pushing women as singles before we get that far down the road. Given that WWE doesn’t push its men in a josh style, I don’t see it happening with women. They will always add the storyline asked to their product. I agree with you, I would love to see the women being pushed as athletes over eye candy. WWE has the chance to do it. It will be interesting to see if they can do it.

With the success of NXT Brooklyn could you see WWE possibly moving Hall of Fame to Friday night and having NXT night before Mania to have 3 straight nights of live action. 

I hope not. I love the Hall being on Saturday. It feels right there and puts the fans in a great mood for Mania the next day. NXT shows on Friday work better for me. The Hall Of Fame is such a special event, I want it to stay right where it is.

My question is about the WWE Hall of Fame. How far in advance does WWE start thinking about who to induct and then start reaching out to wrestlers/talent to induct? I ask because I see much of Wrestlecon is set for 2016 and it made me wonder, what would happen if someone (i.e. Honkytonk Man or Jacqueline Moore) were set to appear for Wrestlecon or another promotion were asked to be in the Hall of Fame? I would assume they've already signed an agreement to appear somewhere else. Do they just break the deal? Turn down the HOF invite? Thanks guys!

It seems to change by the year. Sometimes they are on it sooner, other years later. I would hope that if someone were appearing at another event all involved would be able to work out a deal where the talents could do both. If you are WrestleCon, having a HOF inductee at your event is a draw.

PCB is a horrible name, as was Submission Sorority.  With all the talk about a Diva Revolution, why didn't WWE brand the group the Revolution?

That is a damn good question and a better name for the three ladies. It would have made much more sense. As I have said elsewhere here, WWE also needs to ditch the Diva name if they want to get the women over as athletes. I don’t exactly think “diva” when I think of Ronda Rousey. I think athlete.
