I just recently watched the Paul Heyman documentary on the WWE network.  And all I have to say is wow!  That was the best one I've seen them produce.  I enjoyed Austin, Foley, and Triple h's, but this one was right up there with CM Punks documentary. What did you think?  Also I always here Heyman talk about his kids.  But never any mention of girl friends or a wife.  Is Heyman married, or ever married? 

Heyman is always interesting to listen to, no doubt. He had a long time girlfriend who is the mother of his children. They are no longer together. His kids are the light of his life, as you can tell.

If Bray/Taker actually happens at Mania... why? Wyatt winning does nothing for him, as Lesnar got that particular rub (and has done barely anything since, as a result) last year. But if Taker goes over, it'd be par for the course, when it comes to both Superstars, with Taker winning his yearly Mania match again, and Wyatt losing yet another high-profile match of his own.

I agree. I have heard talk of them doing this and I totally agree with you, it will be anti-climatic. The problem is, WWE really hurt Bray in the feud with John Cena so he just won’t be looked at as a Taker caliber opponent, no matter what Vince thinks. There won’t be much allure for that match, through no fault of Wyatt’s by the way.

With Wrestlemania this year in Santa Clara the sun will not set until 730pm.  Since the show will start at 4pm that means at least 3/4 of Mania will be in the daylight which I love the idea of.  Does WWE get to save money in terms of all the lighting?

WWE rents the building, so the power costs are not their problem. With that said, they will want to have the best lighting possible and the lights take a while to get to full power so I I expect they will be turned on long before they are actually needed.

Okay, here goes: don't you think the Authority is a poor imitation of Mr McMahon back in the day of the Attitude Era? I know the WWE likes to rehash old storylines, but I think this one is just not even close to what Mr McMahon did back in the Attitude Era. I mean Vince was an original and it is impossible to try and follow that up with a cheap imitation. I have loved wrestling since I was a young boy in this scene every storyline possible in the 40 plus years I have watched wrestling but the authority is just a joke. I am at the point where I almost do not want to watch the WWE anymore if the Authority is going to be on the show. It's just that it's so predictable, even more predictable then most wrestling shows. Maybe I'm jaded because I saw a wrestling in its golden age and now it just seems to be very tarnished your opinions.

It is definitely an extension of the heel in charge storyline that Vince has booked for a while now. I don’t make a direct comparison between them and Vince but yes, Vince was obviously more successful where drawing money was concerned in the role.

I know Jeff Jarrett hasn't officially had a match with his new promotion however do you think his business model of being associated with all of these international groups is a good way to build a fan base so he could possibly compete with WWE? Do you think if we succeeds he could create a valid competitor for the WWE? Not just talking about $ for $ but also giving talent a valid 2nd option.

Right now, Jarrett is basically a conduit, not a viable option where guys can go and get work. Until he starts actually running shows, he won’t be one. If/when he starts running shows, we can examine it again at that time.
