I know you said in the past that WWE offered you the editor position of Raw magazine in the past and you decided not to take it.  What if they offered you a similar position today, such as being charge of WWE.com?  Would you take it and why or why not?

No I wouldn't.  The main reason is that I love what I do here and am proud of what we do.  I wake up every day and no matter what is going on in the business that I cover, I am proud of what we do.  That means a lot to me.  I also feel that I have an obligation to our subscribers and readers to run this site the way that we have for years.  People tell me all the time how much this site matters to them and that means more to me than I can tell you.  So, I am staying where I am.

Could Sheamus be the next breakout, true WWE star?

I think he can but it will take WWE to commit to him and push him in a way that shows he is at least as important as John Cena.  They have elevated a lot of guys, only to show that in the end, Cena is more important.  The company needs to realize that having a number of top guys that matter is better than having one.

Since you now live out west, are you looking forward to watching WrestleMania and other PPVs at three hours earlier?

Absolutely!  One of the truly great things about being in the Pacific time zone is the fact that everything starts three hours "earlier" here.  WrestleMania starts at 4 p.m.  NFL football starts at 10 a.m.  World Series games start at 5:30 p.m.  It's awesome.  I am really looking forward to WrestleMania this year and having it be an afternoon experience is a big part of it.  I would much rather have the show air from 4 to 8 than from 7 to 11.

When The Undertaker's career is over, do you think he should give a heartfelt speech at his Hall Of Fame induction?

I do, yes.  I get that he has been protective of his character over the years but once his in-ring career is over, he can let that go.  The business has meant a lot to him.  So has Vince McMahon.  He is a good speaker so I think he should go up to the podium and make the most of a moment he has earned.

What was the first PPV you ever saw?

That would be the first WrestleMania, which I watched on closed circuit TV at The Wildwood, NJ Convention Hall.
