I love the site.  I am an Elite member when I can afford it and I have to say that the audios that you guys do are great and make the subscription more than worth the money.  It sounds like you guys are all great friends and I love to listen to the banter, especially when you guys joke about Mike Johnson.  I have heard some people say you shouldn't, as if you are serious with what you say.  What is wrong with people that they can't see you guys are kidding around?

I wonder that myself on occasion.  Obviously, we are all friends and Mike is one of my best friends in the world (in addition to being the best around at what he does).  We are just having fun on audios and we all bust on each other, not to mention ourselves.  It's all done in fun and to make people laugh.  People should never take it seriously.

Great site guys. You are the best at what you do. Nothing culminates a great feud like a match involving blood. Been some great rivalries ended that way. I think of Eddie Guerrero and his match with JBL and the amount of blood loss. I was wondering if you have ever been truly scared/concerned for a bleeding wrestler?

There have been a number of matches I have seen where guys did a poor job of blading and thus bled more profusely than they should have but you have to keep in mind that they weren't cutting a major artery.  The matches that were really scary to me involved using gimmicks, like barbed wire, since it can be unpredictable.

Now we're in the PG era of WWE blood is an absolute no no and this is going to continue now that Linda is going for Senate again. Do you think this rating takes away the brutality of the Hell in a Cell? This is meant to be the culmination of a massive feud, one that has had everyone in fits, WWE shows Mankind getting thrown off the top of the cell all the time but we know it'll never happen again. I guess the main question is, do you think that the PG rating makes the Hell in a Cell a glorified cage match?

I totally get what you are saying. The Cell should cause bleeding if a guy hits it and has in the past.  From that standpoint it does hurt the match.  To me though it's more important to consider the problems that could arise from blood born diseases and ban the use of blood, at least if it's intentional.

I caught, for the first time, a little bit of ROH, on TV the other night. And I really thought that the black ring covering was pretty cool, so much better than the regular white WWE uses. But is it my imagination, or is the ring size in ROH bigger than in WWE?

It is your imagination!

Hey guys love the site and the audio as I'm a recent addition to the elite club. I just listened to Mike's update that CM Punk is slated to run a story with Alberto Del Rio thru the rest of the year and the first thought thru my mind was it would be great to see the title change back and forth between them every PPV thru the end of the year kinda like they are equally as great type story.... what are your thoughts?

I could see that happening as WWE is committed to both guys but I get the feeling (maybe it's foolhardy on my part) that Punk has a bigger push ahead.  I could definitely see something like Chris Jericho coming back and having a feud with Punk that leads into Mania.  Again, I could be pipe-dreaming here but that is what I could see happening.
