Why would WWE confiscate Curtis Axel signs but put James Ellsworth in a main event? Does Vince not realize if the entire roster is over -- even the Zack Ryders -- it would give him more money?

I wish I knew.  Remember how they didn’t run with Damien Sandow?  it’s the same thing.  To me, if something gets over, whether I meant it to or not, I run with it and make money.  It seems in WWE like they only run with it when it is their idea.

What is your take on Larry Zbyszko from back in his time?

He was always good on the mic.  Obviously, the rub from Bruno got him over back in the day.  I think he was solid in knowing his character and portraying it.

A few years ago whenever Ric Flair did the chest chop and let out a WOOOOO!!! whilst doing it, the move seemed to mean something. Now virtually every match dissolves into a chop-fest at some point, the main reason seemingly being so that the commentators can comment on how much somebody's chest is marking up.  Do you find this as silly as I do and quite unneccessary, or am I just not with the (current wrestling) program.........

I think it’s just the evolution of the business.  Remember when one Superkick was a win?  Now it’s a transition spot.

Do we know where Darren Drozdov is now?  I recall a job for life from the WWE from his injury, but I have not heard from him and Byte This for years.

Last I heard, he was still living in Southern New Jersey.  WWE is still taking care of him.  They have been great as he needs 24 hour care due to his injury.

I've been kind of fascinated by JoJo's path from Total Divas afterthought to semi-regular backstage interviewer to ultimately a very strong replacement to Lillian on RAW.  Do you have any insight on her path and how she ultimately landed such a prestigious gig?  Beyond the obvious, "the higher ups liked her."

Sometimes the obvious is obvious for a reason.  In this case, it’s because they liked her and thought she would be good in the role.
