What's the one band you'd want to see play Wrestlemania?

Well, I went to Wrestlemania 11 expecting to see Fishbone and they didn't play, so I'd say them.  Or Bon Jovi, if Richie Sambora is with them.  I don't expect either to ever happen.

Where is Petey Williams?

He works as a Producer for WWE.

Any word on the future of Scott D'Amore?

No.  He has businesses outside of pro wrestling in Windsor, Ontario and still has his wrestling school and BCW independent promotion.  He's filed a few trademark for different promotions but hasn't made any moves and hasn't returned any attempted communications, yet.  My feeling is he's laying low on purpose to make a bigger splash when he decides what he's doing next.

Do you think WWE would ever do another angle where someone like Trump buys the company?

No.  It would be too political and upset a portion of their audiejnce, but remember that happened before Trump got into politics.  It also legitimately tanked the stock price, which led to the angle being killed rather quickly.  They have the Rock on the Board of Directors now, they don't need any sort of celebrity boss.  They have The Rock!

I've read many stories about how Ricky Steamboat was never a heel.  Has there ever been any other major star never to make the jump between heel and face?  I don't recall Ivan Putski ever being a heel.

The only other name that comes to mind is Tito Santana, who I don't believe ever worked heel, especially once he was established as a talent.

What was the weirdest match you ever saw on the independents?

Nailz vs. Abdullah the Butcher probably takes that distinction.
