I've heard on a few occasion that WCW only made one new star, Goldberg. Why don't people recognize Diamond Dallas Page as a top star?

Good point.  DDP definitely got over by the end of his run.  He had a lot of good matches and got a good reaction and his growth all happened in WCW.

I think a great person for the RAW gm would be Jake Roberts.  Unfortunately it's wishful thinking.  Your thoughts?

I am just hoping that now that HHH has taken over, we never hear from the Raw GM again.  So far, so good.  As for Jake, given his history of personal issues, there is no way WWE can bring him in.  They just can't. 

Here's a hypothetical (kinda out there) question for you: With Edge having his career ending injury and now Randy Orton's concussion (both unfortunate situations), do you think that somebody/something is trying to tell Vince McMahon that Christian deserves a legit (as legit as it can be for pro wrestling), lengthy title run?

Honestly, I am not a big fan of destiny.  I am more of an "events create new reality" kind of guy.  I think it's more a case of WWE hearing the reaction that they received when they immediately took the title off of Christian and then deciding to give him a better run.  

Ok, let me see if I have this straight. Big Show gets run over by a car (which we never get to see), then we see The Big Show (a Raw superstar), and Alberto Del Rio (a Raw superstar) show up on SD! with some silly story about "charges" being considered against TBS. Now I know it was done to pump up Capitol Punishment, but is there any sense in this? 

Hey, the man fell off of the roof at Cobo Hall in Detroit when he was with WCW and didn't get hurt.  You think a car hurt more than that?  Seriously, I saw no sense in it.  It was a very dumb storyline for them to use.  

CM Punk came back after only one week, so what do you think changed his mind? What do you think, will WWE do it again?

First off, I think the fact that he has loved the business his whole life is a major factor in him deciding to stay.  He was frustrated with how he was being used at least in part because he loves the business so much.  That makes it easy to say screw it and walk away.  Then, he got through to the right people and got a big push.  I honestly don't think he ever wanted to leave, he just thought there was no point in staying.  He told friends that he wasn't going to go to ROH or TNA, but was really going to take a break so he could always walk away again if he isn't happy with how he is being used.
