PWINSIDER Q&A: LAX, TEDDY LONG, A NEW RALPHUS FOR JERICHO? AND MORE

I don't care who LAX consists of but when their logo appears on my screen it reminds me of an ad for the pink stuff. Who came up with that name for that tag team?

Well, according to the lawsuit he's currently filing against TNA, Konnan claims to have come up with the name. Although, I guess I should point out that Pepto is the pink stuff, Ex-Lax is the stuff you put in brownies when you want to play a mean practical joke on someone! 

What is the reason for the alleged rift between Undertaker and Triple H? Were there one or two specific incidents that caused it, or did it just slowly happen over time?

I think any talk and speculation about a "rift" between the two has been greatly exaggerated.  Undertaker and Triple H get along fine when together, and there isn't any hidden hatred boiling between the two.  However, it has been said that Triple H being on Raw and Undertaker being on Smackdown is good for the company, as it prevents either top star from "stepping on the toes" of the other. 

Do you guys know how well the Wrestlemania Blu-ray is selling? Also, have you heard any plans of future Blu-ray releases?

From what I understand, the Blu-ray version of Wrestlemania isn't selling huge, but for their first release in the new medium, WWE is happy with it.  Obviously, with the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD war over, and Blu-Ray coming out on top, WWE will work on future Blu-ray releases.  After all, they already film their shows in HD, so it simply makes sense.  That said, I wouldn't expect any compilations to be done in Blu-ray anytime soon.  I think it will strictly be PPV releases of major events for now.

I was very confused with why WWE had Teddy Long become the General Manager of ECW when Raw didn't even have a GM, but with ECW and Raw going on the road together, do you think they had Teddy Long become GM so they have a reasonable excuse to end the "open rosters" between ECW and SmackDown since he doesn't get along with Vickie Guerrero?

I think Long's move to ECW was a combination of factors, neither having a lot to do with Long.  One, with Vickie Guerrero and Edge getting so much heat on Smackdown, any plans to switch power back to Long have probably been shelved.  Two, WWE made the conscious decision to move Armando out of his current role and put him in the ring.  So, Long was shifted from a role that wouldn't be changing anytime soon to a position that would work with the change planned on ECW. 

What if Armando Estrada became Jericho's new Ralphus?

Highly doubtful, Estrada doesn't have the abdominal development necessary to be the new Ralphus.
