With the renewed focus on the X Division, any chance we'll be seeing Petey Williams returning? He was the main reason I started watching TNA in the first place.

Honestly, I don't know why he was let go in the first place.  He is really talented.  I would hope that if they are bringing X Division guys back, he would be someone that they go after. TNA did want to use Williams for Destination X but he's currently signed to a Lucha Libre USA deal. The man has to make a living.

I was wondering if you have any info on the rumors that Gene Snitsky is returning to the WWE?

I have not heard that one.  I really don't see what has changed with him since they let him go so I don't see why there would interest in bringing him back.

Is the John Cena/Dwayne Johnson (Twitter-) bickering "serious" or strictly business and something, WWE management wants them to do?

It started out years ago as Cena legitimately dogging The Rock.  Now, it's become storyline stuff based off of shoot events.  WWE management is for them doing it because it keeps some heat on their WresteMania match with the hardcore fans without getting in the way of what happens on TV for the less intense parts of the WWE universe.  They are definitely using real elements in their barbs and that makes it interesting.  So far, The Rock has been slapping Cena around pretty well.

I just watched No Mercy 2007 on WWE on Demand. Is this the 2nd worst WWE PPV ever (after December to Dismember) ? It was awful. The first 15 minutes is an in-promo, HHH wrestles 3 times, plus there's the stupid Punjabi Prison match. Where does this rank among their all-time worst?

Second! You just said so yourself!  Seriously, I can remember worse shows that that, like the Great American Bash from the mid 00s was really bad.

So... what’s your favorite accent that Cena has put on for promos during his career? The thuganomics accent he had for 3 years to get himself over, the “Preacher” style accent he had in late 09 early 2010, or the BAH-stun accent he put on during the 7-11-11 Raw? It’s a light hearted question but honestly I enjoy the Boston accent, makes him seem a little more no nonsense, even when doing his “jokes.”

In order, I would take what he did on Raw last week, where he sounded like a real man with an issue.  Second would be his thug days because at least then he was interesting and entertaining.  A very, very distant third would be his holier-than-thou, ultimate good guy persona.  I hate that one to the point it makes me want to turn down the volume whenever he speaks.
