After the 01/09 Raw I'm broken/ I've given up. Is it possible the best way to expect absolutely nothing? No longtime storytelling, no logic, no serious angles, no anything? Do you see any indication of better times? I don't even have the energy to complain.

Ordinarily I would say yes it's best to have low expectations but from January to WrestleMania, WWE needs to put out a good product so you should expect one.  I know what you mean about the current malaise on Raw but I say keep speaking up (or tuning out) until Vince McMahon gets the message.

Do you think there could be more interest in a CM Punk- Chris Jericho match at WrestleMania than the Cena-Rock match?

In some cases sure they could be but overall more people will care about the return of the Rock.  If he was wrestling Punk, they would care more about that match as well.

How do you think they did that stunt with fire coming up from the hole? I mean without it burning the mat? I know the smoke was from dry ice, but what about the flames not catching the ring on fire? How do you think they did that?

They used a controlled device to produce the fire and I would bet that the mat was made of fire retardant material as well.

I'm thrilled that TNA is taping Impact in London. How long is does a taping of Impact take? I ask this because I get so tired of watching a TNA wrestler like Bully Ray giving a really good promo in the ring and in the background you see people with their chin resting in their hands. If you are not a wrestling fan then don't bother showing up for a taping. I get aggravated watching people sitting in the Impact Zone like they would rather be somewhere else. It's time to move Impact around to other places even different cities in Florida. Also if TNA is paying those models to stand and cheer throughout the whole show can't they get better looking models? Your thoughts?

The taping of a show takes about two hours, just like Impact.  So the double taping should be around four hours.  I agree that running in front of the same crowd all of the time can lead to problems but I also realize that it doesn't make sense to take the show on the road and lose money.  It puts TNA in a position to run in front of, let's just say, a discerning crowd.  And if I am going to pay people to cheer I am not getting great looking people that will take the focus away from the matches.  I would hire plain looking people.

Is there any word on whether Ric Flair is going to sue Grantland.com for that article they posted on him? Has Flair ever commented on it?

He can't really sue them since they used information he himself released.  Flair did comment about the article and said that it after the initial information was released years ago he later found that he didn't have the medical condition that he thought he had.  If he made that information available to Grantland.com they would definite update the story.
