I know everything is subjective, but how would you rate the  Sasha Banks vs Bailey match in the annals of women's matches in WWE history? There's  the Trish v Lita which is always there because it was a main event (and fantastic), and maybe the classic Alicia Fox vs Melina match (hey Cameron), but seems to me this might be a top three or four match. Thoughts?

I loved the Sasha-Bayley match sooooooo much. It was perfect and everything that makes pro wrestling great. I am not big on doing top fives or top tens. I won’t say it’s WWE’s best ladies match ever, but I won’t say it isn’t either.

Tough Enough - Based on the voting for Josh over ZZ, do you think ZZ is confused about the "universe" wanting to see him on the show vs in a ring when it comes down to the final vote?  And maybe to a lesser extent Sara as well.

I think ZZ is what he is. He’s not going to suddenly become Jay Lethal or Roderick Strong. He is out of shape and big, playing off of his personality. He is basically going with what got him there, which is a smart move in my opinion.

Since to me NXT is the finally rebirth of something as close to ECW as we might ever have (that is in-ring talent and not just blood and gore that is commonly associated with ECW), what would be wrong with occasionally sending main roster mid-card people down to tour with NXT for a while.  Certainly, ECW had some of its greatest matches with legends of the ring involved and it would help elevate the NXT talent both in the eyes of the universe as well as personal development.  And maybe it would give a mid-carder a chance to develop a new gimmick that takes them to the top

You sent this before Saturday’s awesome Takeover show, so you are pretty clairvoyant. Nope, I would have no problem with that at all. On his conference call last week, Triple H even said we will probably see that in the future. NXT did almost 16,000 people on Saturday. There is definitely a lot of room for growth with them. I would love to see WWE keep it growing and have two different products that they market, and more important monetize.

As telegenic as Becky Lynch is (and probably technically sound seeing she seems to be a longtime, die-hard fan), I'm not sure I understand what her deal is. Like, her ring gear: is she a 1940s plane pilot? A super hero coal miner? And her ring entrance: it screeeeams generic indie (or X-Division) presentation. Are people in the back aware of this? Is it really just me and handful of people who "don't get it"? I'm genuinely stumped!

She is doing a Steampunk gimmick. It’s a popular genre right now.

Do you see TNA making a play to get Hulk Hogan back on TNA TV?

Uh, no. Why would they? He is still radioactive. They have been cutting costs in a major way. And it’s not like he moved the needle for them when he was there last time. Nope, don’t see that happening.
