I have recently watched the Brian Pillman DVD and they talk about the reason the Hollywood Blondes were split up by a booker who was out for himself my question is, was it Kevin Sullivan they are referring to? 

The booker at the time was Dusty Rhodes.  The feeling was that the Blondes were broken up after being made a scapegoat for the poor rating that WCW garned on a Clash of Champions special headlined by the Blondes vs. Ric Flair and Arn Anderson.  Sullivan didn't start booking WCW until later on.

Don't you think you were a little to quick to jump to an answer with the question about Vince McMahon never acknowledging TNA?  Really what you are claiming will never happen already has, with a promotion your site knows very well, ECW.  Back in the late 1990's Vince McMahon aloud WWE talent to compete on ECW shows and pay-per-views and clearly then he considered ECW a lesser promotion.  While I agree it isn't likely, I would never say never with Vince McMahon.

The major difference here is that unlike ECW, Vince McMahon has no financial investment in TNA or in seeing it succeed.  That era of history was much different in that WWE wanted ties to ECW as a way to get talent fed to them during a period where WCW was taking top talent and creating their own much better than WWF was at the time.

Any chance that Marquis Cor Von is billed as being from the “Animal Kingdom” as dig at a certain other company that is filmed at a competing Orlando amusement park?

No, I am sure they simply used the Animal Kingdom phrase as a way to generalize the Serengeti.  I don't think taking a shot at TNA had anything to do with it.

Any chance Samoa Joe vs. Takeshi Morishima lives up to Joe v Kobashi, or even approaches it?

I don't know that will live up to the Kobashi match, because it's an entirely different situation.  Kobashi's appearance in Ring of Honor was as much of a "moment" as it was a great match because American fans got to see one of the all-time greats inside the ring here as opposed to watching him on video.  Morishima is an awesome talent to be sure but he doesn't come with the legacy that Kobashi carried.  I expect it will be a phenomenal match, but I'd prefer to judge it on it's own merits.

I saw you mentioned Lita's band is going to be recording a CD, but are there any songs out there I can check out?

You can find music from Amy Dumas' band, the Luchagors at http://myspace.com/theluchagors13.
