With the winner takes all title match at Summerslam, do you see them retiring the US title?  Or will it be a situation like Jay Lethal where he can defend either title.

It may be neither. There may be a finish where there isn’t a clear winner, or perhaps Seth Rollins wins and says he doesn’t want or need the “inferior” US Title. I don’t think it goes away. It actually has some juice behind it right now, certainly more than the Intercontinental Title does.

Why is it that when WWE acknowledges a wrestler's lineage, they usually will keep their real names. So why did Ric Flair's daughter change her name to Charlotte?

WWE changes the names so that they can trademark and own them. If Charlotte went under her real name, they couldn’t maintain control of it.

Do you see any realistic possibility of James Storm or Bobby Roode showing up in the WWE?

There is always a chance but I don’t know that it’s a great one. Both of them have been out of contract before and WWE never made the move to grab them. Maybe they would consider them for NXT, like they did with Samoa Joe, but I don’t see WWE wanting to add older TNA guys to their roster. They want to build from within, via NXT.

WTF happened?  What is this, the 90's?  We're going to make fun of the fat man again after he was a successful monster?  Reminds me of Brodus Clay.  Do you see him eventually leaving due to the writers/bookers not taking him seriously, or did he actually want to do something comedic?  I'll go for the ride if he actually wanted to do this, just thought I'd ask, because I loved him when he debuted.

I am with you. I hate when WWE makes jokes out of guys, it usually destroys their characters. Dempsey can really work and should be booked as an old school, brawler type in my opinion. I hope WWE sees the light there.

How soon until Cesaro and Kevin Owens are put together as a team because WWE "Creative" has got nothing for two of the best workers in the business today? 

Or, they are being put in a feud together to show what each of them can do. At this point, I prefer to look at it that way. Obviously, the past shows that guys have been buried after working with John Cena but I am hoping this will be the beginning of a new approach. And yes, I know I may be naive!
