Is anything known about current Sting status? Do you think he is going to come back to WWE? Is it possible that he is cleared but he isn't competing due to some political reasons? His last run wasn't exactly the most stunning, so maybe it's possible that there are some tensions between him and the management?
There's absolutely no issues between WWE and Sting on a personal level, much less a professional one. The reality is that Sting was hurt when he last wrestled and even mentioned spinal stenonsis in his WWE.com interview after meeting with doctors. That is the condition that ended the careers of Edge and Steve Austin. It's entirely possible that we've seen the last of Sting, especially inside a WWE ring in an era where WWE has shown they will end the career of main eventers out of concern for their health.
Do you think ratings would go up for WWE if they went back to more adult oriented programming like in the Attitude Era?
Possibly, but there's no easy answer for turning the ratings around. WWE has to make the audience become emotionally invested in wanting to see their performers and the storylines. Hitting each other with trash cans and scantily clad women calling each other skanks isn't going to bring back the audience that has departed.
Do you see TNA eventually popping back to Spike TV within the next five years?
You can never tell what's going to happen, but I don't see this one being the case. It's possible Spike might get involved in wrestling again, however.
Let's say a TV network throws a lot of money at WWE to air NXT and WWE happily accepts. Do you think Vinnie Mac would let HHH make him money on the creative end or would VKM be too controlling and ruin yet another product?
You have a lot of "what ifs" in your question, so it's impossible to say what could happen. What we know right now is this: NXT is 100% HHH's baby. Whether that changes down the line remains to be seen. I don't think NXT will be moving to a cable network anytime soon. WWE is very happy with what it brings and adds to the WWE Network.
Is JoJo still on Total Divas/WWE?
She's been used regularly as a ring announcer for months and has continued training at the Performance Center. She is no longer part of the Total Divas cast.
So, on This week's NXT, it was said that Charles Robinson was WWE's senior official. Did something happen to Mike Chioda which caused him to be demoted? I still see him on tv from time to time.
No, it was just something that was said about Robinson out of respect for him and his body of work.
