Am I the only person who finds it hilarious that HHH knocked PWInsider.com's credibility a year or so ago and then it's Mike Johnson breaking that he's going in the WWE Hall of Fame even before WWE announces it? Not that anyone doubts Mike, but I think you Pedigreed HHH! Do you think he'll acknowledge and/or apologize? What would you say to him?
If you find it funny, great. The reality is that WWE was apologetic for what HHH said and honestly, anyone who questions my credibility as a reporter after 20+ years of me doing this full-time would have to be pretty damn stupid if they actually believed that. I don't care about anything but trying to do my job to the best of my ability, no matter who I'm writing about. The second I let my personal opinions cloud my reporting, I'm not doing that. He's not going to acknowledge our reporting, but he knows. As far as what I would say, I think I'd tell him I hope his daughters enjoy his speech. I think people have forgotten he nearly died a few years ago when he had his cardiac issues. I'm glad he's OK and there for his kids. That's a lot more important than anything in pro wrestling - that he's still around to be a father to his children.
Can you settle a bet for me? If Buck Zumhofe still in prison?
He is still incarcerated and his current release date is listed for 4/14/2031, so he will, still be in there for some time to come.
What does WWE get out of WWE Speed?
They get paid, the same as they do for any and all content they produce.
Any update on the 2 Cold Scorpio situation? If GCW are supposed to be the criminal company, why did they stop booking him?
Nothing. He is scheduled for a trial towards the summer but there's a long time before that can happen. Charges could be amended or dropped. There could be an agreement with prosecutor, etc.
You bring up an interesting point about how GCW presents themselves. I don't know why Scorpio isn't currently wrestling for them.
Has there been any talk of Santino Marella in the Royal Rumble given the TNA partnership?
There has not that I have been made aware of, but if it happened, it would be a smart idea and certainly he'd get a massive reaction.
I saw the stuff on Tammy Sytch being denied an earlier release. It made me wonder when she comes up for parole?
She won't. Florida as a State does not have a parole program. Only inmates who committed crimes before October 1, 1983 are eligible for parole consideration. Sytch would not fall under those parameters.
