In a recent Q&A you mention “Benoit should be remembered for his work rather than his actions”. Yet in your Q&A dated 8/3 you do a complete 180 and say “The guy was a slug and a lowlife” I think it is hypocritical that can say something so noble followed by such piercing, dismal and atrocious words. You are a professional body – leave your personal opinions out of it. This is not the only example. I’d like to know your thoughts on this! Actually I already can predict what you will say.. I wonder how many other fans can too…

You probably never realized this until now but the words in bold above the answers?  They are the questions that are sent in by the readers.  The person asking the question wrote that Benoit should be remembered for his work instead of his actions.  I did not write that and thus did not do a 180.  I have been consistent since the day that the dirtbag killed his family in saying that Chris Benoit was a slug, lowlife, coward scumbag for what he did to his wife and son.  I think it is embarrassing that you would think there is anything noble about a man who murdered his family.  It also scares me that you are able to walk among the same when you can only look at his work in the ring and are so delusional that you don't take into account his real life actions when forming your opinion.  Jeez, you take being a fan boy to a new, sick level.  It's fine that you liked Benoit's work.  I did too.  But when someone murders their family, that becomes the thing that sane, rational people will remember, not his diving head butts.  Get some help pal.

Watching Zack Ryder lately reminds me of his time as one of the Edgeheads with Curt Hawkins. I honestly thought that Hawkins would move on up as a star. Instead he's in the null zone of Creative Having Nothing For Him. Think Hawkins might get a shot sooner rather than later?

I don't see him getting a shot sooner because he is not getting one now.  Generally, that doesn't bode well for down the road in WWE.

Rumors are starting about Mick Foley getting one last match at Wrestlemania. What would you think of a three man tag match between Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind vs Isaac Yankem, the fake Diesel, and the masked Kane?

Only if you make it a four way and add Randy Orton/The Voices in his head and R-Truth/All of the people only he hears.

How much influence do the agents have on the creative process and vice versa?

The agents have some in the layout of matches, especially on house shows, but creative sets the direction and the agents follow it.   

What has happened to Jerry Lawler? During the attitude era he and JR were money getting the storylines and more importantly every wrestler from a HHH all the way down to a crash holly over. Now he just seems like he has given up and doesn't even care anymore. From the corny, outdated and just BAD jokes, to spending too much time fighting with Michael Cole. He has just become very hard to listen to and makes me wanna mute the TV whenever he speaks.

What has happened to him is he is doing what Vince McMahon wants him to do.  McMahon loves Cole in his role and Lawler does what the boss wants.  I do agree that it makes for grating TV.  Lawler can still be really good in the right situation.  I just wish WWE would give him more of those to work with.
