PWINSIDER Q&A: UNDERTAKER'S WRESTLEMANIA DIVE, BACKSTAGE REACTION TO MANIA BATTLE ROYAL, WHERE ARE THEY NOWS AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2009-04-14 09:00:00

Do you know if Sim Snuka got any heat from Vince or Undertaker or the locker room for not catching Taker properly or if it was considered that Taker didn't jump far enough and Snuka was not responsible for this mistake?

I haven't heard that Snuka was given any heat over the mishap.  There were some who worked for the company that were giving him credit the next day, saying if he didn't catch Taker the way he did, it would have been much worse.

I was wondering what the backstage reaction to the Miss Wrestlemania Battle Royal was?

It was actually quite negative, especially among those who were in the match.  I spoke to several who were in the bout that noted that just about everyone was upset with the quality of the match afterwards, realizing they weren't given any real time to make the bout stand out and that it was more or less a platform for Santino Marella's comedy. 

Has any brand drafted from developmental?

Historically, that has never happened.  The main roster brands only "draft" from each other.

Whatever happened to former Tough Enough member Taylor Matheny?

Matheny is retired and living in Florida, married to current WWE star Brian Kendrick.

Does Gabe Sapolsky still book anywhere?  I really enjoyed FIP when he was at the helm.

Sapolsky is no longer working in the business and hasn't worked as a booker since he was let go by Ring of Honor in the Fall of 2008.  He's done a shoot interview discussing what his ROH plans would have been and he regularly writes blogs on his Myspace.com, but beyond that, he isn't connected to any major company as of this writing.
