BUTCH REED, SAMOA JOE AT WRESTLEMANIA, WHERE WALTMAN STANDS FOR THE WWE HALL OF FAME AND MORE

Comment rather than question: if Samoa Joe never has a Wrestlemania match that would be a tragedy. Agree?

I would agree, but I feel there are a lot of guys that statement can be made about.

Since HHH said Chyna probably won’t go into the HOF due to her post WWE exploits, what are the chances of Sean Waltman going in? I know he’s a Kliqster, but he was in that sex tape with her, and in shoot interviews comes across as [deleted].

I think it's a fair question. There are no easy answers to that situation. As they say, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Waltman deserves to be in, but does Chyna.

Why was it Butch Reed never got much of a push, asides his time with Ron Simmons as Doom? I thought he was a tremendous talent, had great agility for his size.

Reed certainly did in Mid-South and there was talk he was going to get the WWF Intercontinental championship at one point, so he was in consideration. I always liked Reed and he was a tremendous talent. There's no clearcut answer to this one.

With NXT starting as a touring brand and bringing in former talents to work with them, do you think there can be more of a grassroots effort to tour at smaller venues to see if said roster can survive the grind without burnout?

Sure. I don't think they are going to run 3-4 live dates a week, so as long as they get into the groove where they are on a set schedule, they should be fine. If they intend to tour that roster 4 days a week and the other 3, they have to be at the Performance Center, that won't end well.

I saw Crimson worked the TNA Gutcheck PPV. Why would he go through Gutcheck again when he was signed that way?

New TNA regime? I think that will be a storyline point for that PPV - why he's back in the process, but I don't know that for sure.
