Do you think ROH will get TV clearance soon in the New York metro market? I would think not only because it's a huge market but also since many of their biggest shows take place in NYC.

They would love to do so, obviously, but at this point it would mean paying to get on a station.  They are not prepared to do that yet and I don't think that they should.  I think it makes more sense to build a strong foundation for the product on their company-owned stations first.  They do stream the show on their website so New Yorkers can watch it there for now.

I was watching Impact last week and Bobby Roode got a ridiculously overwhelming face response. Was this canned heat or is he finally THAT over?

TNA definitely sweetens the crowd noise for their show but I think Roode is getting over too.  TNA has done a great job as pushing as a top contender.  Now, I just hope they do the right thing and let him pin Kurt Angle for the title.

First off, great site! I know I speak for the millions.......and millions of users when I say how appreciative we are for your hard work. Second, It has become apparent that the WWE Brand split has/or is coming to an end. My question is how long do you think it will be before we get title unification matches? I think it would only help the product to have only 1 title for each division as opposed to 2 (i.e WHC/WWE Champ, IC/US). That way they can start not having so many title matches on each PPV and actually start building up some undercard storylines and elevating talent. Thoughts?

There has been talk of unifying the US and IC Titles for over a year now and I think they should at least do that since neither belt means anything and it clearly tells the fans that the holder is a notch below the WWE and World Title holders.  So I say just get rid of it altogether.  As for the top belts, I don't see them unifying them.  It creates a situation where there are two top tier guys, so I think that they stay.

Any chance at all that Hogan leaves TNA once his contract is up and comes to terms with WWE to face Austin at Wrestlemania? Also, if Foley wrestles on the card who do you see him getting into the ring with?

I could see him leaving TNA since he is pretty much just a mercenary at this point but I don't see any chance of Austin wanting to work with him.  He hasn't in the past, largely due to how Hogan treated him in WCW, and Hogan is a lot less attractive of an opponent now than he was then.  As for Foley, I would like to see one more match with The Undertaker, provided Foley doesn't take too many insane bumps.   

Do you think that the suspension on sin cara (Mistico) was a part of the sin cara vs. sin cara feud? Or he got suspended for real?

It could become part of it but he was definitely legitimately suspended.
