I keep reading and seeing that Sin Cara is butchering finishes and botches moves during matches. What does management think of Cara's recent work? Do you think he'll be getting future endeavored in the coming weeks if he continues to botch moves?

The feeling among those I spoke to is that he Cara was better suited to being on taped shows such as Smackdown while he became more familiar with the nuances of the larger WWE ring and the differences in the style WWE uses from Lucha. I don't see the company letting him go either way, as he's been publicly touted as Triple H's first hire in his new role and the character has already started to get over with the younger audience.

I'm sorry I can't be the only one that is thinking this, but what is with WWE taking all the momentum that a wrestler gets on Smackdown then "drafting" him/she to RAW and then doing nothing with them!?!? I would bet money that Ted Dibiase is actually glad he got drafted to Smackdown so he can have a chance to do something. It's ridiculous I fear for Del Rio's destiny now.

That's a creative team decision. I have been amazed at how the momentum of some of the talents in the past is just destroyed when they move to Raw. Chuck Palumbo and MVP are the biggest examples that come to my mind in that regard. Unfortunately, when you leave one show where you have writers pushing and writing for you because they are fans and end up under another writing regime that may not see you as the same level player, things like that are going to happen.

What is it going to take for the intercontinental title to mean something again?

Three years of a long reign, good storylines and treatment of the IC matches being important in placement on TV, PPV and live events.

Any idea why the intercontinental title hasn't changed its design since '98? The WWE title has had 3 different looks in that same time frame.

It just hasn't been an issue the company has decided to push. If there was money to be made licensing a new version of the belt, I could see them switching it immediately.

I was recently watching ninja warrior on G4 and saw where some wrestlers from NJPW took part in it. Do you ever see WWE Superstars or TNA wrestlers taking part in the competition when they got for world tours?

I could see it, as long as the companies aren't afraid to let their talents look silly. I'd pay to see Big Show on Wipeout myself.
