I was wondering about this war of words that The Rock and John Cena are embroiled in. How much of it is scripted, and how much is real feeling between the two from each side?

They aren't shooting on each other.  There are adlibs from time to time but they know the gist of what the other will be saying.  As for their feelings, from what I have heard they aren't great friends but they are both pros and know how to do business together.

When will the WWF/E finally have one WWF/E World Heavyweight Champion? I'm sick of seeing a Raw Champion and a Smackdown Champion. Wrestling Greats like Bruno Sammartino, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Bob Backlund, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels had great runs as World Heavyweight Champion and were believable because they were the ONLY WWF/E World Heavyweight Champion.

There was only one "brand" back then too, keep in mind.  With that said, WWE talked about combining the two championships over a year ago and the idea was dropped.  I don't know when, or if, they will ever do it but given the lack of top tier talent, I think that it would be a good move to unify the titles and actually work on elevating younger guys.  Then, they could have one top guy with the belt and a lot of other guys trying to get it.

So after WrestleMania is over, is there any chance we could see The Rock feud with anyone else on the roster, such as CM Punk or Randy Orton? With both Punk and Orton publicly bashing Rock for his comeback, do you see Rock signing on to wrestle either one of them at SummerSlam or is Rock to busy with his movie schedule to prepare for a SummerSlam match?

There has been a lot of talk that the Rock-Cena program will continue after Mania.  If that is the case, I could definitely see a rematch at SummerSlam and then with the series tied, the blow off at next year's WrestleMania.  After that, it all depends on if Rock wants to keep working or not.  If he does, I could definitely see him doing matches with guys like Orton and Punk.

The last 15 years of WWE. What would you say was their best year and why? In terms of most enjoyable/exciting to watch, booking, and overall talent.

I would go with 2000.  The late Chris Kreski had the company hitting on all cylinders. It was the best year that they ever had.  Then, Stephanie McMahon took over as the head of the creative team (well, on paper anyway).

Is there a wrestler who would climb to the top turnbuckle only using their feet on a regular basis? I'm not talking about jumping from the canvas to the top but climbing from 1st to 2nd to the top turnbuckle only using their feet.  I've seen wrestlers do this but I remember most times when they got to the top they would for a split second put their hand down to keep their balance.  I recall Brian Pillman doing something like this but is there a wrestler who did this in a lot of their matches without ever putting their hand down to keep their balance?

Guys have definitely done it.  I have seen a lot of lucha guys go right up to the top in a fluid motion and keep their balance the whole time.
