PWINSIDER Q&A: WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, THE PERFECT WRESTLING COMPANY, FOUR HORSEMEN AND MORE

Has there ever been a women's championship tag team?

I assume you mean in North America, as there have been numerous Japanese based tag titles for women.  The answer is yes, although the last time a woman's tag title was in the national spotlight in North America was back when the Jumping Bomb Angels and the Glamour Girls were feuding over the WWF Women's Tag Team Title in the late 80's. 

I'm watching Royal Rumble 1996 on WWE 24/7 and I'm wondering why was Undertaker wearing a mask?

The reason for the mask was that Undertaker had suffered a broken eye socket at the hands of Mabel during an edition of Monday Night Raw that sidelined him for two months, and when he returned he wore the mask to protect the eye.

What is up with all of these WWE errors? I first noticed on the History of the WWE Title DVD that they listed Johnny Valentine as a commentator, but it was actually On the Survivor Series DVD, in the extras, Michael Cole says the One Man Gang is dead! Why doesn't WWE hire people who know wrestling?

You'd think they could hire at least one.  I've often said on Elite Hotlines that it would be worth WWE's time to bring in one "super fan" on the payroll just to work as a fact-checker and be on the lookout for errors like the ones you described.  In the case of One Man Gang, I think Michael Cole and everyone who was involved in the production of that segment should be embarrassed and ashamed, since not one of them thought enough of their work to actually go and check to see if he was really deceased.

If you could create the perfect wrestling company, what promotions would you use as an example?

UWF, 1986.  ECW, 1995.  World Class, 1984.  WWF, 1999. NWA, 1989.  Mix them all together, cut out all the bad stuff, and that will be my perfect federation.

Why was the Four Horsemen DVD reduced from 3 discs 2 discs? It's not like they are short on material to choose from...

My guess, and this is just a guess, is that WWE felt that a two-disc set, which will be lower in cost and price than a three-disc would be more profitable in the long run.  A majority of their historical releases have been two-disc sets (Road Warriors, Pillman, AWA), while they reserve three-discs for sets they know will do huge business (Hogan, Piper).
