I was watching the Smackdown Elimination Chamber Match and I noticed there was hardly any mention of the World Heavyweight Championship. The commentators kept talking about everyone fighting for a WrestleMania spot. No mention of Rey winning the title again or Edge losing the title after barely winning it from Dolph Ziggler. I think they only mentioned Edge and the championship in the beginning of the match. I get that WrestleMania was close and they needed to hype it up but does a WrestleMania spot matter more than winning the World Heavyweight Championship? I kind of got that feeling after listening to the commentary.

At that time of year in WWE's world, WrestleMania trumps all.  Plus at that point, you already were watching the PPV so they were already trying to sell you the next one.  

I was never a real Rock fan, but don't you think that that 1/2 hour segment at the top of Raw went on too long? I mean come on.

I am a big fan of The Rock and I liked the segment.  I guess it is all what you are into.  With that said, since the rating dropped a bit from hour one to hour two I think you could make the argument that WWE overdid it.

Let's say Super Cena happens to be the WWE Champion during next year's build to Wrestlemania; does the Rock have to earn a no. 1 contender status to face Cena? Surely we can't just expect a Miz/CM Punk/(whoever) to merely step aside to allow this match to happen...can we? Or will we have a similar situation to HBK/Taker where the Rock makes sure Cena doesn't have the belt?

Sure WWE can!  They can do whatever they want since they are writing the stories.  I think it would a total waste to have the WWE Title on the line in that match since like Undertaker and HHH this year, those two don't need the belt in their match.  It would make more sense to have two other guys in the title match as it would make their match more important.

Chyna.  In TNA.  Are you kidding me?  First they bring in Jeff Hardy when he is facing drug charges, now this trainwreck rolls into Orlando.  What are they thinking down there?

I agree that there are lot of potential negatives with bringing her and her attitude into the company.  She has a lot of flashing potential problem signs, for sure.  They are hoping it will get publicity, create interest and draw viewers to Impact.  I guess we will see if that is the case.

Who did a worse job pushing Vader: WCW during his feud with Hogan, or WWE during his entire run there?

I will go with WCW since WWE at least tried to push as a monster.
