PWINSIDER Q&A: JEFF HARDY, DOG COLLAR MATCH, NON-SPINNING SPINNER BELT AND MORE

Do you think WWE would really fire Jeff Hardy if he comes back and gets busted by the Wellness Policy a third time?  That's a lot of money WWE would be waving goodbye to.

Let's let Jeff get back on TV after his 60 day suspension first, since some feel he won't even come back from that.  If and when he does, if Jeff Hardy were to get busted again, WWE would fire him.  They may not want to, but they would.

Do you agree? Bryan Danielson is better right now in the world than Kurt Angle EVER was.

Is Bryan Danielson a better professional wrestler than Kurt Angle in a technical sense?  I would say yes.  However, I feel Angle has a much larger "presence" in the ring than Danielson has at this point in his career.  Angle picked up on the "sports entertainment" aspects very easily, so I would give him an edge there. 

Why was the Dog Collar Match at Starrcade 83 between Valentine and Piper billed as a US Title Match? Piper won the match but not the title.

I was always under the impression that it was a non-title match, and billed as such, because the chain match was "unsanctioned" and no one would take responsibility for the bout due to Piper's ear.  If it was billed or announced anywhere as being a title match, then it was a mistake. 

Why did WWF/E start the program with Perry Saturn and the mop? In my opinion the whole idea was stupid and I'm just wondering who he ticked off to get that storyline.

I have heard that some feel that Saturn was given the "moppy" gimmick as a punishment for when he roughed up enhancement talent Mike Bell.  However, I never heard of pushing someone for that long with a gimmick and spending TV time on it as punishment.  I think it was just a WWE comedy gimmick given to Saturn, and while he hated it at the start, he has admitted that it got over to a degree, and that given more time, it would have gotten over more as a mid-card comedy bit.  

Randy Orton has been champion for a while ago, and we still have the Spinner belt (albeit, one that doesn't spin).  Are we stuck with this belt forever?

I think the WWE Championship belt will constantly be evolving, with new versions being created, while the World Title will remain true to the "big gold belt" design. Besides, it gives WWE a different replica to sell!
