Are there any celebrities you were surprised to hear are wrestling fans?
Nope. The way I look at it if I like the business it shouldn't surprise me if anyone else does.
In a WWE Roundtable about Monday Night Wars with Eric Bischoff, Michael Hayes said that WCW was trying to run WWE to the ground. He was really upset and lashed out on Bischoff. Was this the feeling in WWE during the Monday Night Wars, and was this the reason that WWE booked so poorly the WCW guys in the Invasion Angle?
Hayes has got to be ribbing. WWE did far more to try and run WCW into the ground than WCW ever did to them. WWE used its position as the top dog to gain advantages in all aspects of the business for years. When WCW got hot in the mid-nineties, Bischoff wanted to beat Vince McMahon and it was perfectly understandable, especially given the way Vince had destroyed so many promoters in the past. For Hayes to get upset is ridiculous since he knows the history. As for the poor booking of the WCW invasion I have said for years that Vince booked it that way to show that "WWE was best all along" and I still believe that today.
Why is there a move called the tree of woe? Who decided on that name and why?
Kevin Sullivan came up with it years ago. Why? Because he liked the move and it was a cool name!
The Rock is headlining Wrestlemania. Kevin Nash is in a major program. The fans are chanting "WHAT?" (I'll never forgive Austin for that) All signs point to a showdown between Sting and Hulk Hogan. At least 40 minutes of every Raw is devoted to Triple H. This is Q&A, so I'm supposed to have a question- here it is: WHAT YEAR IS IT?
To you and I, it's 2011. To WWE it's 1999. To TNA, it's even earlier than that.
Do you see any parallels between Chris Benoit fans and Roman Polanski fans, in as much that fans of both want them forgiven for unforgivable actions because they did their jobs well?
I never really thought of it to be honest. What I think is that there are some people who take everything into account when they consider someone's work and others that only care about the one thing that person does that they like. Personally, I don't understand the latter. If a guy is a child molester or a murderer, whenever I see his work, I can't put that out of my head. Others can. How they do it, I can't explain.
I've been an avid reader of your site for a long time, since the days of 1wrestling. My favorite columns are the Q&As and your "Looking At..." columns and usually never miss it. But I have noticed over the last couple of years that the questions you have been answering in the Q&A have been lacking in substance. The majority of questions are either asking your predictions on what will happen in the future that nobody knows for sure, reiterating your opinions that you have said before on the site that are only to get you to agree with them and make then feel good, or askers trying to play guest booker and asking what do you think of their storyline scenarios. In fairness, you answer what you get, but there has got to be questions out there that require you to answer with facts instead of opinions. That's why we have your shows. I remember reading more questions and saying to myself, "I always wanted to know that too". Now, I actually skip over questions because I don't care about the "what if" scenarios.
All I can tell you is we answer the questions that are sent. If you have factual questions, send them along. With that said, if you send in a question asking who wrestled on the undercard of a 1996 WWF show from Toronto, you can expect that question to be skipped over.
