Was there supposed to be more to the story with the "soldier" that Rusev attacked?  Did the WWE quietly drop the storyline?  There seemed to be quite a few complaints on there Facebook page over the angle.  I for one thought it was in poor taste for some cheap heel heat.

That was what they did it for, to get cheap heel heat on Rusev. It wasn’t supposed to be more than that.

What do you think of either of the following for WrestleMania 31 and potentially as a staple of the card moving forward? A) The NXT title is defended following a tournament buildup on the weekly show similar to the BFG series in TNA? B) An annual match created in the original spirit of Money in the Bank in which 5-6 of NXT's top stars compete (with qualifiers on the weekly show) for a spot on the main roster and debut on RAW the following night?

I like the first idea, since the NXT Title would come out being more important. I think it is a great idea. I don’t like the latter, since as we have seen with Tough Enough a roster spot isn’t always worth a whole lot. I prefer that they bring talent up when they believe they are ready, not when they feel that they have to.

So even though Ambrose has been moved away from Rollins and onto Bray Wyatt, do you think it's not over between those two.  Does the Dean Ambrose/Seth Rollins feud still have more juice, maybe for one more blowoff match for Dean to go over, maybe at Wrestlemania?

I am hoping that, for once, WWE is doing just that, keeping them apart for a little while longer before heating them back up. Time will tell.

Does Bram truly have the potential to be a top guy in TNA and in a perfect world, should he be eventually?

First, there needs to be a TNA. They need a new TV deal in the worst way. If they don’t get one, it doesn’t really matter. With that said, I can’t say yes to Bram being a top guy right now (in part because he was in WWE Developmental and they let him leave) but if he keeps improving we can revisit it later.

As it seems that WWE is hypersensitive about it's image,  do you think that WWE will be changing the name of Dean Ambrose's finisher (from Dirty Deeds) since AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd was charged in a murder case? While most people wouldn't even necessarily make the connection between the two, I also seriously doubt that anyone would've made a connection between Daniel Bryan choking Justin Roberts and the Benoit case.   

I hope that because changing for that reason would be a serious reach. But I disagree with you on Bryan choking Roberts. The company has every right to be sensitive to that issue given what Benoit did and the fact that he was working for them at the time. They have to be cognizant of that.
