Simple question, is it asking too much for Seth Rollins to get even just one clean victory over John Cena. John Cena is a made man, him losing a match clean will not hurt. Why does Vince McMahon not see it. Has John Cena ever gone to Vince and said he felt he should not win a particular match.

Yes, he should have. I think it’s ridiculous that WWE had their World Champion lose twice in two days to Cena last week. What made it worse was he beat him when Rollins was fresh at the PPV. They could have easily had Rollins lose to Cena after he beat Sting, to protect him, but they didn’t. It is part of the continuing pattern that WWE has done for years, where they build guys up only so that they can be fed to Cena. After that, they are never as over as they were before. It’s amazing to me that Vince McMahon can’t see that this is a major reason that they have viewer malaise. Sure, the product is successful but it could be so much more so if they had five or six legitimate guys that the fans saw as top talent instead of one.

Who will get WWE when Vince passes away?

At this point in time, his stock in WWE would go to his wife Linda unless they have an agreement otherwise. At that point, I think Triple H will be the go to guy for the company, taking Vince’s place.

Do you think a) there's any chance of WWE returning to having RAW and SmackDown as separate brands again, and b) that it would be a good idea?

They don’t have enough over talent to do. In order to have two brands like that, they need at least four top of the card guys to carry each brand. As mentioned above, due to the booking, they don’t have that.

So with Sting's injury, granted the inherent risk taken by anybody of any age who steps in the ring, do you think it will make WWE more leery of letting older guys perform for them, or should it?

They should. Jerry Lawler has had a heart attack after wrestling. Sting got really hurt. Plus, Undertaker has gotten really banged up against The Undertaker. The business is much more physical today than it was in the past. As men get older, their bodies can’t hold up to the kind of abuse they did as younger men. WWE needs to be cognizant of that.

If ROH had a tag team called the "True Americans" consisting of Claudio Castagnoli and Jake Hager with Dirty Dutch Mantel as their manager, how over do you think they would with the crowd.  And paychecks aside, how better off would they be?

Since both guys can really go, and that is what the ROH fans look for, I think it would get over really well. From a push perspective they would be much better off but yes, financially they would not.
