Bobby Roode has officially been turned into the typical "smiling babyface" that Vince McMahon seems to love.  Why does Vince insist on having many of his babyfaces project the same smiling, happy-go-lucky attitude as we've seen with people like Finn Balor, Apollo Crews, and to an extent Ronda Rousey?

Obviously, it’s what he likes and wants them to do.  Me?  I prefer people that are different. That makes them a lot more fun to watch.  But, Vince is the billionaire so he gets to make the call.

Although it will seem like a case of better late than never, do you think WWE will put the Hart Foundation in the HOF next year??

The problem remains Owen Hart.  If they wanted to induct Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart as a team, they could do that.  But Owen would be hanging over it.  Until Martha Hart gives the OK, I would guess it won’t happen. 

It’s been almost 20 years since Owen Hart died. I’ve been told that WWE doesn’t HAVE to have his widow’s permission to put Owen in the HOF. If that is true, what are they waiting for?? What am I missing?

Did the popularity and success of the Four Horsewomen (Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Sasha Banks) caused the term "WWE Diva" to lose its luster?

No.  The term “Diva” never had any luster to begin with.

Do you think because of their past relationship with Impact Wrestling, Spike TV (Paramount Network) now has a sour taste in professional wrestling and will never, ever bring anything related to the genre to the network again?

No, I don’t.  They are a TV Network and if the right product came along and could draw them an audience, they would consider it.  It’s not like they are loaded with high drawing shows right now.  But, it would take the right product to come along.

At Wrestlemania 19, Brock Lesnar went for a shooting star press on Kurt Angle who was too far away. Lesnar landed on his neck, and had a whopper of a concussion. Questions – Was this spot approved in advance?? Why didn’t Lesnar reposition Angle and go for the move from the closer corner?? Did Lesnar suffer any kind of neck injury because of this??

Brock had done the spot before and hit it.  This time, he missed it and put it to bed for good.  As I remember it, he wasn’t hurt at all.  I remember people that were in the locker room telling me how amazed they were that he was OK after.  It looked scary as hell.
