Is it just me, or is this new angle in TNA with Aces and Eights starting to smell like an angle to get Eric Bischoff back on TV? I just has the feel of another invasion type angle that Bischoff is so fond of?

The word making the rounds is that the group with be a way to bring Jeff Jarrett back to TV.  I hope like hell it's not a way to bring Bischoff back.  The TV has been so much better without him on it in my opinion.  His character is very tired and could use more time off of TV.  Plus, the group should only have one leader, and that is Jarrett.  I really think it would be a big step back for TNA to have Bischoff muck this up.

When the WWE suspends someone under their wellness policy for whatever length of time, do they make it a requirement that they need to attend some sort of rehab depending on what they were suspended for or as long as they don't show up at work for that length of time they don't care what they do or where they go (as long as they hopefully don't continue whatever they got suspended for)?

WWE absolutely demands that talents with substance issues go to rehab.  If they refuse, they generally find themselves fired.

Here’s a semi-serious question about Tony chiavone. I remember that Bobby Heenan used to joke about Tony’s wife’s cooking, and Tony never really replied in a way to suggest that the Brain was wrong. Do you know if his wife’s cooking is better than Debra’s cookies, or did Tony sleep on the couch after not defending his wife?

I can say, with a degree of pride, that I have no idea what the answer to this question is. 

What's the deal with "Off The Record" and WWE? I enjoyed the show with WWE wrestlers as guests a lot.

Ah, the good old days, back when WWE allowed its talent to be interviewed by people that asked real questions instead of lobbed softballs.  Well, about a decade ago WWE changed its access policy for interviewers that asked probing questions, like us, and we no longer get to talk to them on the record.  They pulled ranks when the ratings started to slip.  To me, that was the time they should have been more media friendly but I am admittedly biased.

Did you happen to notice that when the girl involved in the AJ Styles storyline was ambushed by Mystery Reporter Jason Hervey that she has a lit cigarette in her hand? TNA does know that pregnant women shouldn't smoke as it will hurt they're baby (even if it's imaginary).

TNA also knows that women shouldn't do excessive amounts of drugs and sleep with so many different guys that she can't remember them all!  In Crack Ho Claire's case, she was smoking when she pulled up to the studio a few weeks ago as well.  I think it's because she will end up being a heel but even if not, it's not she is the best person to have a baby even if she is a face.
