In recent months WWE has had a sudden influx of foreign superstars, Mexican, English, Scottish, Ghanaian, Puerto Rican, Russian, South African, Japanese, Indian, Irish. Not that I'm complaining. I know WWE has always had multiple national superstars, but it seems like there's more than ever. My question is was this was this a planned move or is there just better talent in Europe/Asia/Africa than there is the USA/Canada. Also do WWE have training centers/training partners throughout the world? 

WWE is definitely interested in bringing in talent from places that they draw well, such as The UK, Canada and Mexico.  They scout talent from the UK pretty heavily, but don't have any training center there.  For the most part, talents that want to come in make themselves available to WWE, not vice versa.  Yes, WWE is conscious of adding workers from all over the world.  It contributes to their international feel.  With that said, there is a lot of quality talent outside of the US and WWE is interested in and getting all of it that they can.

Seeing that Undertaker is basically whining down is career, and a great one at that. I see him retiring at 20-0 at WM. Question is, who does he battle last ? 

I would love to see another match with HHH, as I think Taker needs an icon-like person to deal with.  John Cena is off the table, obviously, and there aren't really a lot of other people to put him with except maybe Randy Orton.  I just don't want him in there with a midcard guy.  He deserves better.  Whoever it is, I want to see them do the job because I don't want the streak to end.  I think it's one of those cool things that should never be broken.

Do you think TNA missed the boat when it came to their chances of bringing in Paul Heyman and Jim Ross? Both in my opinion would do so much more for the company than Hogan and Bischoff.

I absolutely think that Heyman or Ross would have helped the company more than Hogan and Bischoff have.  Both have a better idea of what works in the business today than Hogan/Bischoff and I think they would have shown that if they had come in.  I can't blame Dixie Carter in Heyman's case since he was asking for a piece of the company but in Ross' case, I would have definitely put him in control and given him the chance to grow the brand.  TNA needs a person in charge, a "the buck stops here" sheriff type.  Ross would have been great in that role.  They need one person, who knows what they are doing, leading the way instead of having a lot of people with power adding their two cents to the process.

Is Triple H going to returning to a full time TV character role anytime soon? I'd love to see him have another series of matches with Sheamus on Smackdown.

It is my understanding that he will be a special attraction more than a full-time character at this point in his career.  He has taken on a lot of responsibility within management of WWE and is focused on that more than actually wrestling right now.  It's the right move too as he will be an integral part of the management of the company for years to come.

I always thought that Bobby Eaton was one of the most underrated wrestlers. Even later in his career when he was doing jobs on WCW Saturday night he was usually flawless in executing moves.  What is Bobby doing today and don't you think he would make a great trainer for FCW?

I always loved his work too.  He is an all time great.  Last I heard, he was recovered from health problems.  I am not sure what he is doing beyond that.  I agree, he would be a great trainer.  He sure does know his stuff.
