I know there are quite a few hurdles to overcome, but let's assume for argument's sake that around this time next year, Brock returns to fight for the UFC.  If he is still the universal champion at the time of his fight, would Brock be able to walk to the octagon with the WWE belt?  Looking at it from WWE's perspective do you think it would be a good move or a bad move for Vince McMahon to allow Brock to carry the WWE belt into the UFC cage?

If Brock goes back to fight in UFC, and I am WWE, I sever ties with him.  There’s no way I let him take my Title to the Octagon either.  They let Brock work UFC once and it was a mistake.  So if he chooses to go back to UFC that would mean I would be done with him until he got it out of his system.

How did Mae Young become so legendary in WWE when since the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, WWE promoted Fabulous Moolah as the most iconic female wrestler in the company (Cartoons, video games, Hall of Fame)? Young didn't get a push on TV until the attitude era. Shouldn't the female tournament be called The Fabulous Moolah Classic?

It certainly could have been called the Moolah Classic.  Mae is loved by the McMahon family so they wanted to honor her with that.  I am fine with the naming the tournament after her.

Jim Cornette said "Too little too late' on his own podcast concerning Anthem Sports acquiring TNA and being suckered by Jarrett into converting his "Global Failure of Wrestling" into the TNA brand. If it's too little too late then why's Cornette working for them? If this isn't a Vince Russo style of swerve I don't know what is. Are we to conveniently 'forget' all the slamming of the product that he and Bruce Pritchard did on their podcasts? is this the new way of getting jobs in a major company now? Just keep making fun of them until they offer you a job so they can shut you up?

Here’s the deal.  Cornette was being completely honest when he gave his opinion.  He also never, to my knowledge, said that he wouldn’t go and work there if they offered him the right amount of money.  If your last statement is true I expect I will be getting a significant offer from Anthem any day now.

Why do you think so many titles changed hands at Summerslam?

I don’t mean this to sound flippant but it’s true.  Creative decided that is what they wanted to do.  That is what it comes down to.

It's hard to say this as no one should ever wish ill will on anyone. But to you ever see a way that WWE booking leaves Vince’s hands without his passing? And if so do you see it being one of the "oh no he's gone!" But at the same time "yay, maybe change" reactions from fans. You don't need to publicly post this q&a if you choose to. Just wanted to get some of if not all your thoughts.

I can answer publicly.  As frustrated as I get with Vince’s booking at times, no I don’t want him to die to get the booking out of his hands.  Other than a debilitating disease, I don’t see him giving up the duties.  And keep on thing in mind, to Wall Street they see Vince AS WWE.  If he were to die suddenly, it could affect the company’s business in many ways, from stock price to TV deal rights.  WWE doesn’t want that kind of sudden transition if it could be avoided.
