JERICHO'S WWE RETURN, DIXIE CARTER CLEANING HOUSE, WOMEN IN HALL OF FAME AND MORE

Will Chris Jericho be returning to WWE/Raw sometime this year or has he retired from wrestling altogether?

My guess is that we haven't seen the last of Jericho in a WWE ring but I don't see him returning prior to the Royal Rumble. If and when he returns, Jericho will keep it close to the vest.

I don't watch Raw all that often but I'm curious. Has anyone ever told Michael Cole to shut up on the air?

I am sure they have.

TNA President Dixie Carter did not like the way things have been running within the organization (Impact Wrestling/TNA) lately questionable storylines, lack of pushes involving very worthy wrestlers, lack of support or word of mouth from Hulk Hogan things like that would she step in and clean house? Perhaps even contact every wrestler on the roster asking for their opinion/suggestion on what changes if any are needed to be implemented? Would she do it?

She could...if she didn't like the way things are running.

Mike Johnson recently answered a question about the possibility of the late female wrestling star Donna Christanello being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame postumusly. He didn't see it happening. He surmised that both the late Miss Elizabeth and Trish Stratus would be enshrined before her. With all due respect I disagree with that. I'm all for Elizabeth being inducted along with the late Randy Macho Man Savage. Stratus has been taking part in WWE activities in recent years including matches on Raw, appearing as an instructor on Tough Enough and recently appearing on Smackdown honoring Edge whereas Christanello has long been retired from wrestling. She deserves to go ahead of Stratus. Opinion?

With all due respect, Christanello's name won't mean anything to the majority of people WWE is trying to sell tickets and DVDs of the Hall of Fame to. That is their primary concern, not honoring talent. That is a secondary concern. I don't see Christanello going in. The company didn't even mark her passing and you expect them to put her in the Hall of Fame before Stratus? Not happening.

With Monte Barrett possibly getting signed and David Tua being an islander (and related to the Rock from what I've heard) do you think they'll do a storyline tie-in with John Cena and Monte Barrett on one side and Rock and Tua on the other. I've heard that Cena got Barett in to WWE sothey could play on that, as well as the fact that both of Tua's and Barrett's most recent fights have been against each other.

Barrett hasn't signed yet, but if he does and he makes it to the main roster, I am sure they will play off of the Cena relationship at some point.
