When HHH takes over the WWE, do you see him putting more emphasis into the tag team and women's division? Having watched Wrestlemanias 1-10 and Survivor Series 89, I'm horrified to see what the divisions have become.

First off, I don't think HHH will take over completely when Vince McMahon steps down/passes away.  I think he will be a part of the inner circle with his wife and Kevin Dunn.  I think the three of them understand what makes the company work. I that when Vince moves on they will probably make some adjustments but I don't know that tag team wrestling will ever make a comeback.  They are looking for singles stars to break out, since that is what carries the business.  As for the women's division, I could see them putting more focus on it, but not necessarily where the wrestling is concerned.

What do think are the Top 5 worst moments in TNA since Hogan/Bischoff came in? Would Sting vs. Hardy make the list?

Wow, that is a tough question give what there is to choose from. I will just go with the first five things that pop into my head.  Yes, Sting-Hardy is there. The stuff with Orlando Jordan was putrid. The insidious Winter-Angelina storyline is beyond terrible. Eric Bischoff opening the show with the guitar solo was wretched. Hulk Hogan dominating the broadcasts as a non-wrestler is pretty bad too. 

Do you think that it is ridiculous for the WWF/E to be insulted because of a website calling it a wrestling company? Why should they be insulted since pro wrestling is what the fans wanted in the first place and the WWF/E is a multi-million dollar company because of wrestling? Your thoughts?

I don't really know that they were insulted.  I think they more used the situation when they took issue at being called a wrestling company as a way to start their re-branding initiative, which was already underway at that point.  I do think it's silly to act like they aren't a wrestling company since that is exactly what they are, but Vince McMahon has always felt that his company was more than just a ring and guys in tights so it doesn't surprise me that he does the things that he does.  To me, at the end of the day I could call myself a stud but the mirror would beg to differ.  You are what you are, no matter what you try and call yourself.

I watch Raw every week. Yes, many times, I fall asleep, but I tape it so I can watch it later. But I notice that Bob Armstrong and Abdullah the Butcher are going into the HOF. So why no videos on them, (and hardly a mention) like with HBK or (OMG) Drew Carey? I know there was a problem with BA's video, so why have they not run it again? I would love to see what they do with Abdullah's video!

How do you watch something if you are asleep?  I need to learn that trick.  They did have videos on Armstrong and Abby, they just didn't choose to air them on TV.  Obviously, they didn't feel they needed to air them, or just didn't want to.  I took it mean that they felt that those two men's videos didn't need to be shared with the viewers since they consciously chose not to do so. 

Is it just me or does UT's new music do damage to, and diminish, the intimidation factor has has always carried with him? He just doesn't seem as intimidating coming out to Johnny Cash as he did with his old music.

It's just you.
