PROMOTIONS PAYING FOR SURGERIES, WHO PUNK SHOULD HAVE FEUDED WITH AFTER SUMMERSLAM, MORE KNOCKOUTS? AND MORE

I read where TNA signed several new wrestlers onto their roster. I noticed they were all men. Is TNA interested or planning into signing any female wrestllers to help build up the Knockout division?

They just released Cookie, so I don't think we'll be seeing any new acquisitions beyond ODB and Jackie Moore.

Do you think the recent problems/antics involving Jeff & Matt Hardy may be the inability to deal with the fact that they are getting older? Trying desperately to recapture their youth. I don't know how old they are but could it be that they are having trouble adjusting to the realization that they are not as young as they use to be? I wouldn't call them The Hardy Boys anymore. What do you think?

I think they've both made enough money to pursue counseling and help if they need it and both could reach out to WWE as well. I hope that they are both happy and alive and get through their respective issues at the end of the day. That's all I'm going to say.

Dave Scherer recently responded to a question involving the future of former WWE/TNA star Tommy Dreamer. Scherer thought the next stop for Dreamer was independents. What about SHIMMER? I realize its an all womens wrestling promotion but with his experience he could suggest possible storylines, help with current/upcoming female stars, aid in promotions things like that. What do you think?

I don't think the promotion is in the position to afford someone like Dreamer to work in a regular backstage capacity, but it's certainly an interesting idea.

Does TNA, WWE and ROH generally help pay for their own wrestlers operatuions? For example: Maryse was scheduled to have a hernia operation. Does she or WWE pay for that? Recently former Knockout star Daffney sued TNA for failiure to pay her hospital bills for treatment of injuries including a concussion suffered in a match with Team 3D student Rosie Lottalove.

WWE pays for all surgeries and rehabilitation. TNA and Ring of Honor (at least the Cary Silkin version of the company) do not cover such expenses.

Was Kevin Nash the first choice to face CM Punk after Punk agreed to resign with WWE? Do you agree with the choice of Kevin Nash taking on Punk? If not Nash who would you have chosen to feud with CM Punk?

WWE wanted Nash. I personally would have continued the Cena feud through Survivor Series.
