How long do you think it will be until WWE cuts Adam Rose loose? Even if his statements are true, I have no reason to say he's lying, he should have addressed it with WWE personally and with legal counsel if necessary. I get that he wants his name cleared, but calling out your employer publicly is something that rarely ends well, especially when it's the only one in town.

I understand how he feels about the issue and how he wants to get his side out. With that said, I would have waited until I actually had the statement from the doctor and put it all out there at once. I wouldn’t have been as cryptic. And to be fair, he lashed out the testing company, not WWE. It was absolutely a ballsy and potentially career threatening thing to do. No doubt about it.

It's an unfortunate and sad situation, but do you think that Chyna is more likely to be inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously rather than if she were alive?

Yes, I do. I don’t blame WWE at all for not inducting her up until now. Given some of the she has said, which proved to be false, plus her past in the porn industry, she was just someone that WWE couldn’t associate themselves with. And that doesn’t even take into account the animosity she still felt at the time of her death against Triple H and Stephanie. WWE just couldn’t align themselves with her when she was alive. It was far too risky.

Now that Chyna is no long with us, do you think she will finally get the respect and recognition she deserves? And if yes, isn't it sad that it took her death for it?

I think among fair people, she already did get it. It’s said she passed and I wished she could have done a better job with her personal issues in life but with most people our actions are what we are judged on. She was no different.

Lost in the shuffle of the new Women's title picture is Paige, who seems to have been relegated to matches and storylines with the other members of Total Divas.  There is no doubt her in ring skills are just as good as any female on the roster, but she has been put in matches against much lesser talent.  Is her presence on the reality show hurting her in that her wrestling ability is being overshadowed by the whole Total Divas thing? 

Well, keep in mind that she was injured during the build up to WrestleMania so WWE didn’t know what they could do with her in the ring. It’s hard to book someone when they are hurt so she was affected by that. But given the shift in the way that WWE presents the Women now, I think she will be fine. She can go in the ring and WWE knows that. Plus, she is still very, very young. I think she will be fine.

I think a great way to get heel heat on a superstar at WWE Payback in Chicago would be to have them come out after about 15 seconds of playing CM Punk's music. The yo-yo of emotions would be glorious. Thoughts?

They have done it before, and it definitely ticks off the crowd when they do it. I am not a big fan of that kind of thing, but it will definitely get one hell of a (bad) reaction.
