In your opinion, how would the Attitude Era be perceived today? I don’t mean if the company brought a second coming of it around, I mean if it was happening in this day and age for the first time. Would a WWE product with T&A, blood, violence and everything else that went along with that period prosper in today’s culture?

I think so.  I think the edgy, adult content would play very well.  It probably wouldn’t to the same degree as it did then since society has changed a lot in the last 15-20 years and people have so many more choices, but it would get over.  The one thing I believe would be done differently is blood.  We know so much more about diseases transmitted from blood now 

How did The New Day go from such a hated act to one of the most entertaining acts in WWE?

Through a lot of hard work and overcoming what was initially bad gimmick.  They worked hard and their charisma came through and got it over with the fans as time went by.

Do you think that Cesaro & Sheamus are the new Matt Hardy & MVP?

It is a similar idea, yes.  If done well, it can work.  I think it could with Sheamus and Cesaro.

So Is there going to be two royal rumble 30 men matches next year?

It hasn’t been announced yet but my understanding is that there will be one match.  Frankly, they don’t really have the roster to have 60 men in two matches.  Plus, it would add another hour plus to the show if they did.  The positive would be whoever wins can challenge for his Title at WrestleMania and that could be why one brand’s match goes on last (and my guess it will be the Raw brand’s match).

Do you think Billy Corgan is sorry he invested in TNA?

Well, he did sue them so I do think he has some issues with how they do business. Well, I should say she, as in Dixie Carter,  But, he does love the wrestling business and I get he wanted to be a part of it so I think while he is probably a bit sorry, he didn’t go into it blindly.
