With WWE holding the rights to old WCW footage, could you see Steve Borden and WWE agreeing to do a Sting DVD once he retires or would either party decline the opportunity to do it?

If WWE wants to do it, they can.  They don't need his permission.  He could choose to not be a part of it.  At this point though, with him never having worked for WWE, I don't see what's in it for them.  WCW shut down a decade ago.  There fans are long gone for the most part.

Now that ROH as signed this new deal could this be the boost the company needed, and with a lot of people getting frustrated with TNA, could ROH surpass it and become the second company? And if so could you ever see AJ Styles Samoa Joe or any others who have been in ROH previously go back?

If Sinclair Broadcasting can build the show up and get a slot for it on a national network, like say Versus, it's definitely possible that they could overtake TNA.  They would probably need a national outlet to do it since they would need national exposure to compete with TNA for the entire country's dollars.  If that happened and the price was right, I don't see why they wouldn't go back.

Just watched the infamous "Fuji Vice" skit from the mid-80s on WWE's greatest managers DVD, but there's no explanation as to why it was made or what the point of it was. What's the story?

It was fun, schlocky comedy.  Fuji Vice is an all time classic, at least to me.  It was so bad it was good.

Do you think the WWE pulled the plug too soon on the Hart Dynasty? It seemed like they had a nice launch with the return of Bret Hart and the release of the the Hart Family DVD set. They won the tag belts and Natalya won the Divas belt but then they immediately broke them up for no apparent reason, leaving Harry Smith and Tyson Kidd in no man's land again.

Being a tag team is often the worst place you can be in WWE as they don't really push the division so I can't say I was at all surprised that the team was broken up.  I would have liked to see them stay together as a group, but WWE had other ideas.  What those other ideas happen to be aren't readily apparent at this point in time.

Since so many questions are about bad angles, guys not getting pushed and bad matches, I thought I would ask you what are the best things in wrestling today?

I love the athleticism of the good workers and when they are able to show what they can do.  I like when the companies get it right and push things the right way.  There is usually at least some good parts of every show if you look for them.
