In my opinion I think the best big man wrestler of all time is Vader. Do you think we will see one last WWE run for him? Or do you think he'll get inducted into the Hall of Fame?

In his prime, he was indeed a great working big man.  His prime is well in the past however.  At 54e is too old for another run, especially at his size.  I do think he has a very good chan

Do you think we'll ever see a DVD on Smoky Mountain Wrestling? I know it didn't have a wide audience because it only ran in certain southern states, but the amount of talent (Hall of Fame talent) that spent some significant time in the promotion shouldn't be over looked. Chris Jericho, Sunny, and Kane are just a few future WWE stars to spend time in SMW. What are your thoughts in regards to a potential DVD on SMW?

I was a big fan of Smoky.  I even drove 9 hours to Tennessee to see Fire On The Mountain in Johnson City, TN once.  But with that said, a company makes a DVD with sales in mind and I just don't see them looking at such a DVD and seeing it as a big hit due to how limited the audience would be for it.  I would love for them to do it, but I don't see it happening.

A couple weeks ago when Swagger was slapped by Cole, it looked as if the fans were ready for Swagger to do that face turn and, WWE seemed to kill it. Last week they went back to it with the fans ready for it but, not as much as they were the couple weeks prior. But, it looked as if Swagger was gonna make the turn and, then they had him come attack SUPER-FACE John Cena from behind later in the show. What's the deal? I'm not talking from a storyline standpoint. But, the fans want to like Swagger and, seemed ready for the face turn. Why not just go through with it. Every time Swagger gets his chance to shine he seems to hit a homerun but, yet they pull the reigns back.

Fans weren't behind Swagger as much as they just wanted to see Michael Cole get his.  That is what the fans were hoping for.  I agree that they have something in Swagger though.  Trying to explain why WWE pulls back the reigns on so many guys is something I can't explain to you because I don't understand their thinking myself.

In watching WWE DVDs and behind the scenes stuff WWE acts as if they don't want guys doing a bunch of spots and they want them to learn the WWE storytelling style. So, why do they have Sin Cara doing all of his spots all the time? 

Cara is a different kind of guy.  He was brought in due to his lucha background and to be a draw for the company in Mexico.  Due to that fact, they have allowed him to work more of the lucha style.  Given that Mexico is one of their hottest markets, it makes perfect sense to do it.

Isn't it amazing how WWE can take something from the week before that was boring as hell on the show, turn it in to a video package the next week and, with the quality of that video package make it seem like it was the most awesome thing ever? 

One thing you have to say about the company in general and Kevin Dunn in particular, and that is that they know how to package the product in the best possible light.  They do a great job in the area of production and it comes across when they are able to do video packages.
