In regards to the ROH TV show that begins in the fall, how much control will ROH have over the show as to the content?

All of it!  ROH is owned by the network now so they will decide exactly what is shown on TV.  We will get a good idea as to what the product will be like when they tape the first TV on 8/13 in Chicago Ridge.

Truly, how far can TNA go by promoting their business on a Mature rating advertisement on the Spike Network. I imagine that they are allowed to curse and show Mature content only because they are on that network?

Cursing and mature content will only take you so far.  If you write stories that insult people's intelligence, like Kurt Angle saying last week that he never beat Sting when he has, well it won't appeal to the mature people that expect things to be logical and truthful.  With that said, I like the idea of appealing to an older audience because it's different than what WWE does most of the time and the only way I can see TNA gaining ground on WWE is by being different, not emulating them.

How does the WWE bring their equipment to places out of the country like the ring, entrance ways, Hornswoggle, Triple H's nose etc. Yes the last two is a joke but always wanted to know.

They have those things stored in Europe and move them around via tractor trailers, like they do here in the states.  

Even though the WWE has already purchased WCW in the past, why do they not include many of WCW’s past events and matches whenever a wrestler is being highlighted? Ex. Commemorating Randy Savage.

The fact of the matter is if they have WWF/E footage of guy, they will probably use it first, especially in the case of a guy like Savage who made his name and had more memorable feuds in WWE.  Take a guy like Chris Jericho, do you think they really want to use the Ralphus stuff?  Nah, they want to use stuff that puts the talent over in the best manner.

Who would have thought that with the scrawny, lisping, Cody Rhodes, and the more muscular, and more talented wrestler in Ted DiBiase, that the writers would push Rhodes and leave DiBiase in the dust? I had thought just the opposite. Guess I could never be a writer..lol. Your thoughts?

Jeez, what is with the hate on Cody?  I think he is a very good worker and shows a lot of potential.  With that said, I expected better for Ted than he has gotten.  I don't know whose oatmeal he left a deposit in but the guy has a lot to offer and thus far WWE has blown it.
