What do you think of WWE doing a one and done reprieve of their no violence on woman stance and have Stephanie McMahon take one Spear from Roman and that can be her comeuppance?  If done right I think it could work without too much damage control, have her try to attack Roman during one of his matches with Triple H's sledgehammer and Roman spears her out of self defense and then have the announcers sell it like she deserved it.  But I wanna know your take.

I just don’t see how WWE, given how they market to kids, can do it. Men on women violence is just something that a company that wants to market to children can do.

From a pure Karma and irony perspective, does Hulk Hogan deserve being scrubbed from WWE's history?  Not for the racist talk but for all the backstage politicking and the flat out public lying in his favor that he's done, does he deserve this?

Honestly? Nope! If you only inducted people that never played any politics, you wouldn’t have a quality Hall Of Fame! Playing politics has been done by a lot of greats.

What was your take on WWE in 2005.  From what I remember it looked promising as there were two new main eventers to lead the company in John Cena and Batista, top stars like HHH, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Kurt Angle were all very much active, and that nostalgic connection was there as Hulk Hogan was wrestling here and there and Stone Cold almost got back in the ring too.  Am I remembering it to fondly or was 2005 a decent year for the WWE?

Compared to how things are now, yes I would say that was a better time. It wasn’t great, but definitely a better time.

Not to ask you what's going on in Vince's head but do you think the current state of no star power is something he wants?  That "WWE superstars" won't every be nearly as big, let alone bigger, than WWE?  This way if they future endeavor someone, it won't be that big of a loss for them.  Plus nobody can have enough name value to be part of a project that could compete with WWE, no Hulk Hogan in WCW or Brock/CM Punk in UFC incidents.  I remember you guys answering a question about fans being upset over bigger names being left out of live events with "WWE's answer would be they're getting 'WWE entertainment.'"  Maybe that explains the booking.

Nope, I don’t think that is it at all. Back in the day, when he had competition, I could see someone making the case, but now is a different time. There is a definitely an element of making the WWE brand a draw, but at the end of the day you need stars to make the brand important.

When on the road, how are the wrestlers on the main roster able practice and perfect their moves? I understand they are able to go the gym and workout on a daily basis.  However, especially prior to a PPV event, when do the coordinate and practice their "spots?"  Don't they need ample time working in a ring?

They get it before shows! They are at the building early and can work on spots and their matches then.
