WHAT MANIA IN JERSEY MEANS FOR MANIA 30, MY NEIGHBOR KING KONG BUNDY, BEST TO NEVER HOLD WWF TITLE AND MORE

What does next year's Mania in the tri-state area mean for MSG and WM30? I would like to think that the tradition will continue.

That's to be determined but I don't think that holding the show in New Jersey will preclude them from running New York City, but we will see. 

The HHH/HBK segment was very good on RAW, but correct me if I'm wrong, HBK was against him wrestling UT last year and argued just as passionately against it, right?

I don't remember Shawn being passionately against it, but last year, he did tell Hunter that he couldn't defeat The Undertaker.

Usually After the Super Bowl WWE usually reaches out to get some of the players from the Champion Team for TV when they tape in that market (like Clay Matthews in Green Bay Last Year). Does WWE give them free access passes and pay them to do something on the show? What's the deal with WWE getting SB Champion Players to shows?

The Players aren't paid but are invited and given the red carpet treatment.  WWE has an employee who's job is to specifically handle celebrity requests.

    You guys probably get this question quite often but I'm wondering who you would name as the greatest wrestler to NEVER hold the WWF/E Championship? My friends and I discuss this one from time to time and we consider only those who have worked for the MacMahons. I began watching WWF in 1983 so I'm not terribly familiar with the stars of the 70's, however my choice would be Ted Dibiase. He was a brilliant showman and one of the finest technical wrestlers that I've ever seen.

There are three in my mind - Paul Orndorff, Rick Steamboat and Roddy Piper.

I have a neighbor who swears he was King Kong Bunch in WWF.  I live in Nevada, so tell me, where does Bundy live?

I hate to break it to you but any Avalanche you get from your neighbor is a bootleg one.  Bundy resides in New Jersey.
