CM Punk said on Raw in Dallas that he would kill Hulkamania if Hulk Hogan entered The Royal Rumble and the crowd cheered loudly. What will the Hogan defenders say now, since it happened in conservative Texas?

I have no idea but I am sure they will make up some excuse to let Hogan off the hook for his bad behavior. It’s what they do.

Any hope for the Acme/Coyote/Cena movie? 

I don't have any.  They shelved it for a reason, money!  I don’t see that changing, which is a shame.

Would you bring in Nic Nemeth instead of Dolph Ziggler into the Rumble? What about one last one with Jeff or Matt Hardy. Is the smart money on bringing in new TNA Talent to showcase the future such as Moose or Joe Hendry?

I would bring in Hendry and him alone.  WWE is loaded right now and doesn't need to go into the wayback machine or bringing in other outside talent in my opinion. I think that they should use the Rumble to build to WrestleMania programs for their own talent.

I was reading your answer to the question about whether AEW wrestlers were jealous of Penta.  Do you think the reason some wrestlers blow smoke up TK's ass so much is because they know they wouldn't fit into WWE?  Past wrestlers like Edge and Christian would be fine.  I feel like with the proper guidance, WWE could make Hook into a huge star.  But a lot of AEWs top guys wouldn't be able to do what they do.  Darby Allin specifically comes to mine, as there's no way WWE would allow him to do the things he likes to do.  So, forgive the use, but do you think that's the reason many AEW wrestlers are "all in"?

I definitely think that there are wrestlers in AEW that would never work out in WWE, for various reasons. As I believe at least some of them are aware of that (whether their look style would never get over or they just don’t want to go there), I think they know what Tony likes and many of them like to do the things Tony likes in wrestling, They make sure to give the boss what he wants.  It’s pretty obvious that Tony wants to like everyone so it wouldn’t be hard to work off of that.
