Just wondering, who REALLY were the 2 guys named Adam and George that were in those old WWF Royal Rumble commercials in the mid 90’s? Were they some paid actors or were they WWF employees…?

They were actually WWF employees, George Germanakos and Adam Pennucci and yes, they are still with WWE.  Pennucci is  Head of Global Production.  Germanakos is Vice President of Media Clearance and Research.  They were tapped for the on camera roles and had been with the company well before that.

I was wondering if you recall the ticket price for the first-ever Monday Night Raw?

Yes.  $12.  All tickets were general admission.

What happened to the story Moose was replacing the X-Division Championship with a new title?

No idea as we never reported it as it was a false story.  Be careful what you read and belief.

Do you think Brock Lesnar is done forever in WWE?

Unless Brock decides he's done forever, I don't envision a world where, at some point, the company doesn't bring him back.  There's too much money that he draws.  They may wait until the Vince McMahon legal issues are resolved but I can't imagine the conversation in the company, even now, is "we don't need Brock."

Hear me out: John Cena vs. Joe Hendry at TNA Slammiversary in NYC.  Thoughts?

If WWE would be willing to allow it, I am sure Cena would be willing to do it.

I saw saw Hulk Hogan is opening a Beach Shop in Gatlinburg, TN.  If you visiting Gatlinburg, would you visit?

I love the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, but if I am driving all the way there from NYC, there's a lot of other things I would do before visiting Hogan's, like The Space Needle, Dollwood, The Smoky Mountain National Park, Goats on the Mountain, Ripley's Aquarium, The Paula Deen Lumberjack Show, the Hatfields vs. McCoys Dinner Show, NWA Kross Fire, The Pink Jeep Tours, Micro Championship Wrestling, the world's largest Buc-Cees, eating at Mama's Farmhouse, The Titanic Museum, The Hollywood Wax Museum, The Hollywood Car Museum, The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, The Island at Pigeon Forge, The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum, The Frizzle Chicken Cafe....
