What do you think about ROH getting a national TV deal? Was it a wise idea of Destination America to create a Pro Wrestling block with ROH and TNA? Or will ROH become passengers on the Sinking Ship that is TNA?

I love that ROH is getting this opportunity, it has been an honor (pardon the pun) watching them grow from the ground up. This deal will certainly not hurt ROH in any way as this is really the first time ROH is getting national exposure. TNA is another story but nobody knows what’s going on there. 

What do you think about the WrestleMania winning streak coming to an end for the Undertaker? Do you think Brock Lesnar was the right guy to end the winning streak, or it should have been a wrestler who is wrestling full-time, or Undertaker should have retired with the WrestleMania winning streak?

I was never a big fan of the concept. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I’m not sure that they made the right choice. It’s one of those decisions that was great in the moment but didn’t live up to expectations. It did accomplish something at WM, fans were genuinely surprised that it happened and I don’t blame them – it was so unexpected that some betting website had the odds of Brock winning at 100:1 or something along those lines.

You may have already been asked this question, but do you think the WWE will ever go back to the PG-14 rating (or whatever rating they had back in the Attitude Era)?

Simple answer, no. One of the key concepts of media is about making money, and that is exactly what they are doing with the current rating, PG. Look how much merchandise they sell to children with characters like John Cena, Los Matadores, formerly Brodus Clay etc. The things they showed during the Attitude Era would not be acceptable in today’s day in age. The only way I see them going back to the 14+ rating is if there is another Monday Night Wars, which I don’t see happening.
