Brock has not been gone nearly long enough for anyone to miss him. When I heard his music start last night, I actually groaned because: here we go AGAIN. With a talent pool as deep as they have, why does Vince keep pushing the same story at the main event level over and over and over?

In this case, they needed him for the Saudi show.  Beyond that, I don’t get it either.  He loves Brock at the top of the card is the only thing I can tell you.  I am with you, Brock on top has gotten stale.

If I'm to watch Greg "The Hammer" Valentine on the WWE Network to see how really good he truly was.. what exactly should I search for?

I am not big on telling people to watch one match.  I say go to the Network and do a search and watch a bunch of things.

I was reading a question about who do you think would be the next HOF headliner and it actually sparked an interesting thought when you brought up Big Show and JBL. We always say anybody that's on McMahon's nice list will get into the HOF. But what is, in your opinion, a good criteria to be a HOF headliner? 

Ideally, it would be someone who was a top draw.  To me, the headliners should be top of the card stars.   

Are there any wrestlers or tag teams that you're surprised aren't in the HOF yet? Personally, I'm surprised that the New Age Outlaws, Brian Pillman, William Regal and Dean Malenko haven't been inducted yet.

Sure.  Vader comes to mind immediately.  There are many others.  But, it takes time to get in there.

So with the NXT UK brand kicking off, what is the endgame? Will talents eventually ascend to the main roster in the States like the American NXT? Or will NXT UK be its own distinct brand?

All of the above.  The goal is to get more talent under the WWE umbrella that the company can use in whatever way makes the most sense for them.  If they get a breakout star that they think will be great in WWE, they will do that.  If it’s someone they want in NXT proper, they will do that. Otherwise, they want to start a strong brand and talent will be used there.
