In your opinion, if all three were to retire officially in 2011, who would you have go into the Hall of Fame first? HHH, Taker or Edge?

Wow, they all deserve it, no doubt.  I would go with Taker first, Edge second and HHH third (because he is part of the family).

Is there any chance that my prayers be answered and Paul Heyen and Jim Cornette like team up and become a super promoter team and either save WWE or TNA or they could make Ring of Honor the new super power and crush TNA?

I always allow a chance for almost everything.  In this case, it will infinitesimal. I don't see those two ever teaming up.

Given that Undertaker is in a bad way, has he been showing up to any of the shows in any form? He was the 'father' figure of the locker room who a lot of the young talent looked up to for guidance, who do you think has replaced Taker in that way in the locker room?

No, he has been at home rehabbing.  There is no reason for him to go him on the road at this point since he is not active right now.  I have not heard of anyone stepping into the leadership role on the brand at this time.  It is something that will probably occur over time. 

What is you're take on the CM Punk situation? What do you think WWE are trying to do to keep him given he hasn't had a massive role in any of the last few Raws?

WWE wants to keep him, for sure, but the ball is in his court.  He has to want to stay.  WWE can't really give him a big push now since they don't know what his plans are.  The ball is in his court at this time.

A lot of people like to complain that WWE is too child friendly these days. So would it be an idea to have RAW as its flagship show, which is more child friendly and then have SmackDown as the late night more edgier show, that way WWE has appeal to more people and there is something for everybody, Is this something WWE would consider? 

They can't do that since the company is marketed to its partners as a whole entity.  There has to be a comment set of standards among their shows, so they can't make one PG and another one R.
