TAKER'S OPPONENT AT WRESTLEMANIA 20, WWF FOOTAGE IN STING'S MOMENT OF TRUTH FILM, URBAN WRESTLING AND MORE

When is NXT Season 4 winner Johnny Curtis going to show up on WWE TV?

When WWE creative thinks they have a role for him that they can use to their benefit. It's that simple.

Any word on Bound for Glory location yet?

Nothing has been confirmed internally yet.

Yesterday, I watched the Sting: Moment of Truth DVD and my question is how was it possible to have the footage from WCW in the movie when WWE clearly owns that footage after the purchase in 2001?

Great question. I've never been able to get a clear answer on this, but my guess is they just went ahead and did it under the radar, believing that since it was religious-based film being produced for that reason, that WWE wouldn't raise an issue. To date, they haven't.

I had a question about the Undertaker's streak going into next year's Wrestlemania. There's been a lot of talk about who will face him and potentially ending the streak. I don't like the idea of Triple H facing him again, and I think John Cena (even though I can't stand him) already has made a name for himself, and his on respective legacy (plus he's facing the Rock). How about a newer guy like CM Punk or Wade Barrett? Both have killer in-ring ability and facing The Undertaker in a headlining match like Wrestlemania would instantly put them over. Both guys could give him a great fight, and the promo's would be stellar. What do you think?

I don't know that the audience would buy either name as being a "threat" to Undertaker. It's at the point where Taker always have to face a top name to create an intense drama or it's all for nothing.

I keep seeing all this news for the UWF and that their first taping will be in NYC in June. Just wondering, do you have any idea where and when the show will be? I've looked around the net for info and found nothing, and you guys seem to have the most info on the company so far. If it is somewhere in Manhattan, I'd love to attend the show. Would be interesting to be at a first-ever event for a pay-per-view product.

The first taping is Friday 6/3 at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.
