I know that there are some wrestlers who would keep a razor blade inside their mouth while they were wrestling until it was time to use it. How the hell did they not cut themselves and do you know which wrestlers used this method?

That would be quite a dangerous way to do it.  I never knew anyone that did it that way.  Everyone I knew cut the blade into a small piece and taped it in his fingers, wrist or boots, safely.  You would have to be pretty shortsighted to put it in your mouth since yes, it would be really easy to get cut that way.

I'm watching the new WCW Nitro DVD and it is very surreal to see Chris Benoit featured prominently in some of the scenes. The Horsemen reunion stands out in particular, as he has his own entrance and is mentioned by name. This is the first time I have seen him appear on any WWE-produced product since his death. With the WWE's stance on erasing him from the record books, why would they choose to include him in the DVD? Surely they could have easily edited out his scenes like they have done on their other DVD releases. Or do you think they feel that enough time has passed since his death so they can soften their stance a little?

I don't know why so much was in there either but they have not, as a company, softened their stance on Benoit.  I would think that the footage didn't make it in by mistake (I would hope anyway) so my assumption is that they felt a little bit of him on the DVD wasn't a big deal.

Here in the UK, TNA is beating WWE in the ratings. However, TNA is on challenge TV which is free to everyone, and WWE is on sky sports which is only available to people with a TV package that includes that particular channel. Do the people that look at the ratings consider this or do they just assume that TNA is killing WWE in Britain?

I think that those who consider all of the factors, i.e. intelligent, fair people, understand the whole story.  Obviously, they do beat WWE in the ratings but WWE is not available to everyone the way that TNA is.

Let's say all the major companies got together & decided to have one Unified World Title in America, each company (WWE,TNA,ROH & NWA) holds a tournament to decide there Champ going in & then those 4 wrestler's wrestle in a 4 way to decide the champ. Who do you think each company would decide who there champ would be? Who would the winner of the whole thing be?

WWE sends Cena, who beats the NWA's Adam Pearce in one semifinal while TNA's Kurt Angle beats ROH's Eddie Edwards in the other.  Cena then beats Angle. Why?  He with the most money and exposure gets to book the finish.  

Any chance that the GM is the same person as Diamond Dallas Page's benefactor?

It's either him, the original Black Scorpion or the guy driving the white hummer back in WCW.  Seriously, WWE has jumped the shark with this think.  No one even cares who it is anymore, they just groan when he/she sends an email.
