Ross and Solie are guys that came off as natural to me. Cole sounds like he's trying to sound epic. Also pay attention to some of his earlier PPV calls. You hear him lose his mind on nothing matches and wastes all his good lines there. Then by the end of the show nothing he says means anything because he says the same things about a midcard match as he does on the main event. It's not good.

How did you feel about Austin's heel turn in 2001?

I'm in the minority here but I loved it. It fit and it flat out ended the Attitude Era, which is what it needed to do. And then they just wasted the next two years and the company fell apart so there you go.

I'm with you as I thought it was great and Austin played the role quite well. How did you feel about Angle's heel turn in the Alliance angle?

KB...what are your thoughts about Bobby Lashley possibly coming back, and the thought that now a rumor is circulating that Batista may be trying to come back to wrestling? Would it be too little to late? Especially with as accident prone as Batista was toward the end of his career, or should I say injury prone. I mean and with Lashley, its like he loses one MMA bout and he wants to give up altogether...

I wasn't wild on the whole "I was a spy" thing really. It came off as too much like Ed Leslie's face turn in 96 which didn't work at all.

I didn't think much of Lashley really. He just didn't do that much and came off as a guy that was supposed to be great and jsut never really was. Not bad but I didn't think he was all that much.

Batista needs to stay away. He's old and just doesn't offer anything anymore. Let the young guys carry things. Think about Batista coming back and see if you don't think meh or does he have to?

I hated his heel turn. I thought Angle was the most over guy in the company next to the Rock at that time and he really should have been pushed as so.

How did you feel about Brock Lesnar?

An absolute once in a lifetime find. Vince should have paid him whatever price he asked to stay.

To that point,how do you think Brock would be doing in this new generation of wrestling?

Absolutely fine. The guy absolutely had it all. Insane strength, awesome look, legit credentials, he could fly (he used the Shooting Star in OVW. I have never been in awe from a wrestling move other than that. He didn't even bend down. He just jumped) he could do submission stuff. There was nothing this guy couldn't do and he's run through a ton of guys today.

What do you think of Matt's situation and him getting released? Do you agree with him at all?

Matt comes off as another guy that has all kinds of problems with WWE and how they do business, but never had a problem with collecting a big fat paycheck from them while adding almost nothing to the company at all.

If you could change one single moment in the past 5 years of the WWE, what would it be? Say the cutoff being WM21

Philadelphia probably. They freak if everything isn't EXACTLY as they want it and it's rather irritating.

Easily the Smackdown Special just after Eddie died where they blew up a lowrider. Just totally not needed at all and showed no respect for Eddie or his family. Also almost any time Eddie's memory is used in a storyline.

In no particular order, rank the top ten wrestling cities.

Cities are really hard to do. For a top five instead of ten though,

Chicago
New York
St. Louis
Boston
Houston

Speaking of which, do you think Eddie was really going to win the WWE Championship at the match that was slated for Smackdown? I have a hard time believeing it solely because "Steph hinted towards it." Would you say the guy who just died was gonna lose? Seems like a feelgood story to me

Nothing from Canada or the UK?

What did you think of Evolution?

Also, what did you think of Goldberg's time in the WWE?

Well do you agree with his accusations that he was mistreated after what happened to Jeff? If that's true, then he may still be adding something to the WWE if it hadn't happened. Althought, his intestines exploding didn't help him either.

I've heard stories about this many times and it makes sense. It wasn't at the PPV actually. It was on Smackdown in a triple threat with Batista and Kennedy (I think Kennedy. Batista was champion at that point.) Eddie had been feuding with Big Dave and was teasing a face turn so no it really wouldn't have surprised me. I had heard rumors of it beforehand so yeah I think there's some legitimacy to it.

Canada is hard to say as they're completely backwards a lot of the time. Foreign markets are hard to gauge as they're so starved for mainstream wrestling that they'll cheer anything.

If you could take and 1 retired/deceased wrestler and bring him into todays WWE in his prime, who would it be and why?

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

What do you think of the theory that WWE keeps all it's top tier superstars on an even kiel with one another to avoid a huge void when they leave.

What did you think of Evolution?

Also, what did you think of Goldberg's time in the WWE?

Evolution was great. They were exactly what a stable should have been and worked very well.

Goldberg was another guy that Vince just never got. He tried to humanize him too much and had him lose to HHH of all people in bad matches. People wanted to see Goldberg be what he was in WCW which Vince of course couldn't let happen.

Well do you agree with his accusations that he was mistreated after what happened to Jeff? If that's true, then he may still be adding something to the WWE if it hadn't happened. Althought, his intestines exploding didn't help him either.

Eh maybe but it's not like Matt has meant anything in years. Jeff kept getting pushed and Matt's career highlight is a forgettable ECW TItle reign and a funny Cruiserweight Title reign. If he's being mistreated now, what's his excuse for the last 9 years?
