PWINSIDER Q&A: CROWD POPS, SANDMAN, JUVENTUD GUERRERA, HALL OF FAME AND MORE

Answered on 9/22

Has TNA ever been interested in contacting, and possibly signing, Nora Greenwald to a contract? She'd make a great manager for AJ Styles.

I've not heard of TNA being interested, although if they wanted to seriously build a women's division, she'd be on the top of my list of talent to get.  Not sure why you think she would be a great manager for Styles, as I think she is far more effective as an in-ring performer. 

What do you think are the largest full arena crowd pops you've ever seen? For me, in recent times anyway, I have to put Mick Foley's first WWE title victory up there (both for Austin's surprise entrance, and for the 3 count), Triple H's return from quad injury at MSG in 2002, Austin's first World Title win at Wrestlemania XIV, and the Rock/Hogan showdown at the opening of their Wrestlemania X8 match all have to be up there too.

This is all a matter of personal opinion, but the loudest pops I have experienced in person were Roddy Piper's surprise entrance at Wrestlemania X and Sandman's return to ECW in October 1999.  On television, there have been tons of them, and your list is a good start.  I'd throw in Chris Benoit's World Title win and Hogan slamming Andre The Giant at Wrestlemania III as well. 

I know you're probably sick of reading questions about the Sandman's entrance music, but I've got one for you anyways. I know the WWE doesn't want to pay to use Enter Sandman. But what do you think the chances are of them getting the rights to Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes? It'll probably cost a lot less. It's better than his current entrance music and at least it has Sandman in the lyrics. Or if they wanted something a little more hardcore they could use the Blind Guardian version. The potential of this idea is huge.

Call me crazy, but I don't think The Sandman walking out to lyrics like "Mr. Sandman, send me a dream" quite fit the character.  I've never heard the Blind Guardian version, so I can't comment on that one. 

What ever happened to Juventud Guerrera, also known as "Juvi" and the "Juice?" The last time I saw him was on Smackdown with the Mexicools. I always thought he was a great cruiserweight.

Juventud Guerrera, who just seems to have a knack for rubbing people the wrong way at times, was released by WWE in January of this year.  The final straw was him pushing for a Cruiserweight title run, then using high flying moves that WWE didn't want him to and going over his allotted time in a TV match with Kid Kash.  He has been working for AAA in Mexico since his release.

Do you think Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Yokozuna, and Jack and Jerry Brisco will ever get into the WWE Hall of Fame?

I definitely think Jack and Jerry Brisco will go in, it is just a matter of when, not if.  I think Yokozuna deserves a spot.  While his time as a headliner was only a little more than a year, there are plenty of other people in the Hall Of Fame who never main evented a big show, and Yokozuna headlined two Wrestlemanias.  I could see Kevin Nash and Scott Hall getting in someday, but it will be a long time before either are inducted.
