I am still waiting for Kane to address Mark Henry putting him last year. Will WWE ever explain that?

I am waiting for the same thing and I would guess the answer is no.  The most ridiculous thing about it was that they had Kane walk right past Henry to get to John Cena when he returned.  WWE really needs to understand that some people actually remember things that have happened on the shows.  It's insane that no one realized it was a bad idea to have Kane walk right past Henry.

The match with Cena and Rock at Wrestlemania is looking pretty good right now, especially now that Cena has stopped playing the goof and is showing his serious side. Cena is, in my opinion, 100% better like that, for example his feuds with CM Punk and Umaga. At the end of the match at Mania, which I hope is a good hard fought battle, I see Cena as the victor. A faceoff with the Rock ensues, staring each other down, and Finally...the Rock raises Cena's hand....and the cold cocks him and beats him down like a dog. CM Punk races to the ring to go after the Rock, and the Jericho comes down and he and the Rock dispose of Punk as well. And WrestleMania ends with the Rock as a heel, paired with Jericho in a "old guard vs. new guard" scenario, which can open up a LOT of storylines down the road, with different wrestlers from the old and new eras joining one side or the other. Good feuds, stories, built in Survivor Series matches, and it could last a whole year until next Wrestlemania. I'd like your opinion on how this could play out.

I really don't think it's a good idea for a few reasons.  One, we don't need to put four of the top guys in one program.  For another, Rock and Jericho are not going to be in full time so if they do that angle, there will be a lot of down time where Punk and Cena don't get their revenge.  The year long build for the Mania match between Rock and Cena has had a lot of dead spots when Rock wasn't there to promote it.  On top of that, given the way that a lot of male fans hate Cena, if they try to turn Rock it will probably make him more of a face to those fans.

Okay, I have to ask. Did WWE put the mask (and long hair) back on Kane simply because they knew The Undertaker was coming back bald, and they didn't want it to seem that the "older brother" was copying the "younger brother"?

I don't think the two are related but you could be on to something.  Given their spots on the card however I don't think WWE has put that much thought into it.

What's the story with Shaq and the WWE? There was obviously some kind of negotiations going on.  I don't see Shaq going on a show and making up a story about wrestling at WrestleMania.

That is a good question.  He has said he would appear and wrestle but then the company disputed that.  I still think he will appear and maybe wrestle.  I wouldn't be shocked to see him team with Teddy Long vs. John Laurinaitis and David Otunga.

Can you explain how a few weeks ago the board of directors gave Triple H permission to fire John Laurinaitis and now they are deciding that he may become GM of Raw and Smackdown? How come they switched their minds in just a few weeks? And will this lead into a GM vs. GM match at mania where the winner is the GM of both shows?

When it comes to the more insipid things WWE books no sir, I can't explain their thought processes at all.  Frankly, I find that to be a good thing because if it made sense to me I would be a dope.
