WILL MCCOOL PREVENT THE RETURN OF THE UNDERTAKER, WHERE EVERY WOULD-BE DIVA SHOULD ASPIRE TO GO, THE BIG JOKE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2011-08-18 10:00:04
Let me get this straight. At Hardcore Justice the heel champion Sting defended the TNA Heavyweight title against fan favorite Kurt Angle. To the shock of many Angle used a chair on Sting to win the belt. Now Kurt Angle is a heel while the Joker/Sting has been transformed from Joker to fan favorite. I assume the Jokerlike character that Sting has showed lately is gone? If so is the joke truly on us?

The Sting character is still the Joker inspired character. I am not sure who the joke is in on beyond me after I watched TNA again reset their storylines and characters last week.

1-10 how would you rate the early progress of Brooke (Miss) Tessmacher as a wrestler?

It would be hard not to rate her favorably. If you look back to when she began in the business as a member of the dancing troupe on ECW on Sci Fi, she has grown leaps and bounds as a performer.

Whatever happened to WCW's Nitro Girls?

They all left the business. Some of them do convention appearances - Spice, Kimberly Page, Fyre most notably, but for the most part they have moved on to the next stage of their lives.

The subject of The Undertaker's retirement has been a topic of discussion for a long time. With his wife former WWE Divas champion Michelle McCool leaving wrestling due to various injuries and other private reasons do you see this as a major factor for The Undertaker (Mark Calloway) to contemplate retiring sooner riding his hearse into the sunset so to speak?

, I think if anything it was the other way around as McCool opted to leave the business to spend more time with him while he is healing and resting. He'll still come back if and when he feels he is ready.

While I like the fact that WWE seems to be going back to having the women actually wrestle again, it's too bad that Gail Kim left as she would be an excellent opponent for both Beth Phoenix and Natalya, and they could have played this out until Kharma returns. So many storylines wasted. Having said that, seeing Gail back in TNA with potential matches against Mickie James and Angelina sounds great. So the question is-if you are an up and coming female with great wrestling skills (and good looks) do you go to WWE or TNA?

I think if you are an up and coming girl, you go to SHIMMER and try to learn how to work to the best of your ability, then if you want to make money, you try to get a WWE deal. I hate to break it down, but the reality is this business, from a performer standpoint, is about making as much money as you can before your body breaks down. So, WWE pays more and that's where your goal should be.
