With the WWE Hall of Fame coming up, I saw that you mentioned a really good site a while back covering people who deserve to be inducted. I forgot to bookmark it. Can you post the link again?

It is called www.notinhalloffame.com and it is a really cool site.  As the name implies, it focuses on all wrestlers that aren't currently not just in WWE's Hall of Fame, but other venues as well.  It's well worth checking out.

Is there a Vegas line on how many "cliques" there will be in TNA by the end of the year? They have so much talent in the X - division but never give those guys any push, what a shame.

The bookmakers in Vegas are good, but they are not that good.  All I can say is if a number came out, the smart money would be on the over.

Would it be too much to ask of Hornswoggle to get rid of that hideous beard? And don't say that it makes him look "leprechaun-like." Given the various ways he's dressed over the past year and a half, I refuse to call the gimmick a "leprechaun." To me, the gimmick is merely an unfunny comedy character.

You are asking me to not defend the Hornswoggle character?  You are talking to the wrong person!  One day he's a "little kid", the next day he is a "leprechaun".  It makes no sense to me either.  But, Vince McMahon loves the character and he is behind it so if you have a request to make, send it to him at WWE headquarters.

Why do you feel Steve Austin never got over as a heel back in 2001? 

The fans had spoken.  Austin, like other guys of his stature, just got to the point where the fans just liked him and refused to boo him any more.  WWE had him do heinous and despicable things, and it didn't work.  They loved Austin and only wanted to cheer him.  WWE made the wrong call by doing it.

Bret Hart had mentioned at a interview recently that he would still be open to working for TNA but he would not work for them as long Hogan and Bischoff are running the company.  If Bret Hart were to go TNA, my concern is since he is on good terms with Vince McMahon I'm afraid WWE would rewrite history where he is concerned.  What do you think?

Here are a few things.  One, Hogan and Bischoff aren't running TNA.  They are characters in the company and have some input, but they don't run the company.  Two, I highly doubt after making amends with WWE that Bret would go back, or if he is even able to at this point.  He has said he is happy with how his WWE run went and is open to working with them in the future.  I don't know that Vince would erase the record books if he went to TNA, but he surely wouldn't publicize him either.  What is clear is that Bret has a beef with Hogan and Bischoff.  He isn't the only one that feels that way about those two either.
