I have just finished listening to Jim Cornette's podcast and man does he go to town on Vince Russo! He at one point told Russo to make sure his kids are actually his and if they ever meet he would murder him as he wants him dead. Why on earth such hate? Please tell me it cant be over Wrestling? Russo is marmite and may not be the booker he says he is, but Cornette hate the guy so much over something so little? 

Cornette explained it pretty well in the podcast.  He takes issue with a lot of the things that Russo has done over the years.  I can corroborate some of the things Cornette said and believe him on the others.  Russo has pulled the same kind of garbage on our own Mike Johnson when it came out he was secretly consulting for TNA, and he has even done so with me.  The contempt for him isn’t only about wrestling.  It’s about how Russo conducts himself and he brings all of that on himself.

Do you think now the rosters are separate that the Women’s and Tag Titles should be defended on both brands PPVs? 

You must not be an Elite member because if you were, you would have heard me say many times that I think they should.  I think that the champs should defend on both PPVs on the month that the brands each have a show.  If someone from the other brand beats the champion, they go to that brand.

Is it a sure bet that we will see the demon character against Rollins at Summerslam?

I never bet on wrestling but I would be totally surprised if Finn Balor doesn’t break out the Demon entrance for the first time in WWE that night.

Given Lesnar's desire to return to the octagon and how it all played out, do you think it was worth it seeing as how he will have that PED cloud hanging over him for the rest of his career?  Had he never returned to UFC, he wouldn't have gotten tested and caught.

Personally?  No, I don’t think it was because even though he won, he has the two failed tests hanging over him so he can’t even say, “At least I went back and won”.  His victory is tainted.  With that said, I could see that he feels vindicated that he went in there and won.

How do they pull off using thumbtacks without serious damage?

They really don’t.  They just hope you don’t land badly, but they definite hurt the wrestlers when they land on them.
