Do you find it sad that Hulk Hogan has let himself get to the point where he has to work with Micro Championship Wrestling and hawk Amway products on his twitter account?

To be fair, he is not hawking Amway.  He is hawking Visalus.  But yes sir, I do find it sad.  I always expected we would see Ric Flair in this position since he managed his money so poorly but I always thought Hogan had more on the ball.  It ends up he didn't.  It wouldn't shock me if one of these days he ends up doing children's parties.  

What's the reason for Christian dropping World Heavyweight Championship to Randy Orton at the SD Tapings? He could have at least had the belt for a month before dropping it. Real slap in the face to Christian.

The reason when it happened last week was that Vince McMahon didn't see Christian as a fit in the top spot as champion.  That has been the case for a while now, and partially why Christian left WWE a few years back to go to TNA.  After the fan outcry from when Christian lost the title however, I am hoping that it makes McMahon change his tune.  We should find out if that is the case at tonight's Smackdown taping.  I couldn't agree more with you.  Given that WWE has a series of B PPVs coming up, I would have liked to have Christian at least get a one month run with the title as well.  I don't see what it could have possibly hurt and it would have helped establish him more as a top guy.  I don't see why they didn't let him have a program with someone else before moving on to Orton.  The door is open after last week's Smackdown to turn Christian heel, saying that the fans made him fight Orton, but to me that would be even worse since they are so lacking in top faces.

What's your take on the sudden rumor of Batista being offered a WWE Contract?

WWE never wanted Batista to leave in the first place.  It was his decision.  He said he was going to try acting and MMA.  Well, the acting career hasn't exactly taken off and the MMA part of the equation has fizzled out recently, which has led to speculation that Batista will return to WWE.  They would love to have him, especially given the dearth of top talent right now.  The ball is in his court.

Would you wrestle Kharma, and yes I mean as a man vs. a woman?

Uh, no.  I am not a wrestler.  If you are asking if she is intimidating and powerful?  Hell yes, she is.

Has The Undertaker retired?

Technically, no.  He went into WrestleMania with his shoulder in really bad shape and they booked the end of the match to explain him disappearing for a while from the storylines.  At this point he is really banged up and creative is not expecting him back for a while, very possibly not until next year's Mania. The company will see how he feels during his time off and then go from there.  It wouldn't surprise me if he is back at SummerSlam, but it also wouldn't surprise me if his next match at WrestleMania in Miami.  What we can say is that the end of his legendary career is getting closer at this point but he is not yet officially retired.
