I see you often say nice things about Randy Orton on your Twitter account.  Why do you?  

Because I believe them.  Orton has been great this year and even before that I really respect that he works the way he wants to work, not the way others may want him to work.  It has led to him having a long career.  I really respect that he doesn’t have to destroy his body to get people to hate him.  Sadly, that is becoming a lost art and it’s one that should be brought back.  And in the last week, Orton has helped elevate both Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee.  I respect the hell out of that.

I saw your response to getting belt of Otis and was thinking if he gives it to Mandy wouldn’t that devalue the women’s money in bank Match?

I guess it’s a matter of perspective.  To me, MITB has been devalued for a long, long time now.  This year?  Brawling through the Tower, comedy spots, food fights?  I don’t see how it could be any more devalued than it is now.

Has Bray Wyatt ever spoken about the consequences or results of wearing The Fiend mask?  It looks as if it would be incredibly hot and uncomfortable, causing his face to sweat profusely, with no way to wipe away the moisture.

If he has, I haven’t heard the interview.  From what I have heard he loves playing the character.

Do you see it as an act of desperation that Smackdown flipped their supposed 3 top guys so suddenly? They basically switched Braun, Bray & Roman w/o much explanation. Do you see it as let’s get people talking and get the ratings up for a few weeks? Also, with the babyfaces being a little weakened, What are the odds Brock goes to SDown when he returns as a face?

It was sudden, no doubt.  The Fiend, who drowns people and gives them trips like the one John Cena went on is a face?  Roman, who they have steadfastly refused to turn is now a heel?  I guess they would say they were trying to mix things up.  I can’t say it’s desperation until I see where they go with it but it was definitely sudden.  Now we can see where they go with it.

I'm watching Payback. At the beginning of one of the matches, in the Thunderdome, the same blonde female appeared in 2 different windows at the same time.  What does it say when WWE needs to use multiples of the same person as multiple fans?

I think what it says is that someone who was to be in one of the spots either did something they shouldn’t have or had internet issues so they doubled up.  I know someone that was having major internet issues trying to be one of the fans so I don’t think it’s anything nefarious.
