Here is a question, possibly too long to answer, but I am curious… When and how did Jerry Lawler basically take over Memphis? Was he always in control or did someone give him control? Finally, because of the feud Jerry and Tommy Dreamer had I always wondered if ECW in its early days did anything with the Memphis area. I had always read that the Gilberts where in early ECW and I always thought Eddie Gilbert and Jerry had a big thing in the Memphis area.

I don't remember exactly when he took over but it was years and years ago that he became partners with Jerry Jarrett in the company and they ran it together for years.  Eddie Gilbert was Tod Gordon's first booker in ECW.  He came in after a run down in Continental and he did work in Memphis in the past.  But ECW just ran in the Philadelphia area early on but did not run in Memphis.

Wishful thinking, but how about Cena turns on Rock at Survivor Series, joins Miz & Truth to beat down Rock, for Cena's heel turn? MSG would go nuts for this, like it did when he returned for the Rumble.

I would love to see it.  I think Cena turning heel, if done properly, could be great, especially since they have a better babyface in Rock to program him against.  Given how much merchandise he sells I don't know if they would actually pull the trigger on a heel turn but it would pretty interesting if they did (with the caveat being that they did it properly).

Epico looks like a Colon; is he?

Yes he is Primo and Carlito's cousin, Tito Colon.

Natalya. What's the deal? While they seem to be building Beth Phoenix back up again, they seem to be tearing down Natalya. To me it would make sense to build them both up to a falling out and big match. What do you think they are up/down to?

WWE generally pushes one face and one heel diva at a time.  The rest of them get to be accoutrements.  It's dopey.

Several years ago MVP was losing match after match but it eventually lead to a face turn and title wins. Do you think that this could be what is happening to John Morrison but in reverse with an eventual heel turn or do you simply believe that this is the WWE burying a talent before they release them?

Well, explaining WWE booking isn't the easiest thing to do but it's fair to say that given Morrison's uncertain future status with WWE he wasn't going to go on a winning streak.  If he and/or they decide he stays in WWE, his push will start up again.
