Why do you think Steve Corino never got picked up by WWE after ECW imploded? He was in the title picture for most of their final year and seemed to have the look and the ability in my opinion. Not saying they'd have given him anything worthwhile looking at Incredible or Lynn's roles having went there but still he was worth a spot, no?

No, he didn’t have the look that Vince McMahon was looking for then, or even now. He wasn’t overly muscular and he had a reputation as a blader, which didn’t appeal to WWE.

Where do you see Paige's recent long string of losses and setbacks going? Do you think it's a descent into Sandow-status or a story-line to be used?

Honestly, I think you have thought more about it than WWE has (which is another issue altogether). I think Paige has been losing because the newer ladies need to win, nothing more than that.

I've seen a few questions answered about Sting not earning his title match, while I enjoy the special attraction of seeing him wrestle as he's my favorite of all time. My question is after RAW, is Sting now 2-1 in WWE? Technically he has a loss to Triple H, a DQ win over Show and a submission victory over the champ in a tag match. I doubt this but could this be WWE way of shutting those up who think in his career solely with WWE he hasn't earned it? WWE likes to tout with the announcers that a victory over a champ puts you in line for a title shot.

No, it was actually their way of trying to get people to stay tuned into Raw last week. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Honestly, WWE feels that if they tell you a guy deserves a Title shot, they expect us to believe it, unquestioned.

I know the situation is different but do you feel that HHH is kind of doing to indy wrestling what Vince did to the territories? I realize it is a better situation for the wrestlers in most cases but what about the companies they leave behind?

I see the correlation you are making and it’s an interesting one. At this point, I would say no but in the future? Who knows. At this point, he is trying to grow a brand for his company and plan for the future, which is good business.

Why did the announcers on RAW push Night of Champions as "only available on the WWE network," when in the same segment, they mention it's also available on pay per view?

There is no rhyme or reason for that, other than they would like you to buy it on the Network.
