Why is there so much heat on Sin Cara? His fresh new style of high flying acrobatics brings something new and exciting. Do you think Del Rio and Mysterio have anything to do with that? 

The only real heat (i.e. that I pretty much believe to be true) that I have heard on him since he has come in is that he has missed his trampoline entrance a few times and also that he was a bit nervous in his first few televised matches.  Other than that, I haven't heard anything really negative and Rey and Del Rio don't have anything to do with it.  

Do you think that chair shot to the Undertaker's head at WM was really planned or a botched move? Undertaker really seemed out of it after having his head bashed in. He failed several times to get up and at one point really believed he had a concussion and blacked out. To that note, we still have not seen him since. I still believe he would have walked out limping rather then on a stretcher and wave at the crowed. Do you think it was a planed kayfabe or is there more to it?

Undertaker went into WrestleMania with a serious shoulder injury.  A lot of people wondered if he would even be able to work.  Obviously, he did, but they also needed to do something during the match to explain him taking time off after it ended.  That is why he was taken out on the stretcher, to sell the severity of the match and explain why he would be off TV afterward.  The chairshot wasn't botched.  He was selling it after it happened.  Obviously, it was called and executed so it wasn't an accident.  

Where did Ric Flair get the inspiration for the direction of his current behavior? When he yells "I'm God!" I swear he sounds just like my boss.

I believe he got it from studying your boss for three and a half years.  Obviously, he took good notes.  Well, that and he has been doing a version of it for a lot of years now.

So it will be Rock vs Cena at WM 28. OH COME ON NOW! In this age of disposable storylines, and feuds they cook up one week before a PPV, how the heck are they going to keep both interest in momentum in any storyline, even this one, for a whole year? 

I think what they will do is keep it going a bit now, then leave it simmering on the back burner.  Some time around the Rumble, they will start to heat it up again.  It CAN be done.  It will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

Did you know about Edge's retirement or were you as surprised as his fans?

I had heard about it earlier in the day, but only a few hours before Raw so yes I was surprised.  It came on very suddenly to me as well.
