Get what you can out of him while you can. It's worth the risk.

What is your opinion on The Motor City Machine Guns?

Maybe but I'm not sure how well it would draw. Orton has fallen a good bit recently.
They're fun to watch but there's nothing left for them to accomplish as a team.

A couple of questions on John Cena:
1: Having taken the loss to the Rock, and the general consensus being that Cena is a respected man, even if you don't like him, do you think Cena is looked at more favourably by those that boo him now?
2: Is Cena a top ten wrestler of all time and where will he ultimately wind up in the grand scheme of things (top 10, 5, 3?)?

Yeah I think so. Listen to the cheers he gets when he nails a promo. The people want to like him but they've been trained to boo him.
Top ten for sure, top five.......maybe but I'd have to think about it.

No idea. I shook his hand once and he was nice to me. Ribbing I guess.

Not that I want to disagree with you, but this Q and A got me to thinking.
I kinda think that Shawn Michaels 2002-2010 run was better then his first run. Am I crazy for thinking that?

Do you have any idea how the wrestlers/divas stay in such great shape all year round? I mean wrestling in of itself is a grueling workout to begin with, but as far as diet goes. Must be a bitch considering they aren't in the same spot for more than a day it seems.

Not at all.
I remember Austin on Tough Enough once. There were ribs at catering: "Yeah go ahead and eat up. You'll sweat it off out there."
How could Orton become relevant again other than winning the world heavyweight title? A major feud would be nice, but with who?

It's easy to make someone relevant. The company just won't do it.

Going off that question about staying in shape earlier, I know some pro-sports teams higher nutritionists who travel with the team during road trips to make sure that the athletes eat right.
They'll also order catering for the team meals that meets the nutrition requirements of the players for their sport...do you know if the WWE runs a similar program?
I would guess that ROH and NWA don't have the money to do something like that and since TNA doesn't travel, they don't need to

Not that I'm aware of, but I can't imagine anyone would be stupid enough to eat a ton of junk food. They're smarter than that.

Do you think Lord Tensai will ever win one of the world titles?

Welp KB, it's been over four-and-a-half months since CM Punk won the WWE Championship back from Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series. I think it's safe to say the WWE has gotten behind CM Punk as a top babyface in the company. Hell, on a card with two 30+ minute matches, his WrestleMania WWE Championship match with Jericho was given more time than Batista-Cena at WrestleMania 26.
With this milestone for Punk in mind (four-and-a-half months is an odd benchmark for a title reign, but what-the-heck-ever), I have a couple questions: How much longer will his reign last? Who will he finally drop the title to? Have you actually enjoyed his reign?
I'MMA ANSWER FIRST, YEAAAAAAH BOY!
Considering it's rumored that The Rock and Brock Lesnar might face off for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, perhaps he'll have lost it by WrestleMania. However, there doesn't seem to be anyone likely to unseat him on RAW in the meantime. If Cena and Brock go right into a feud following last week's encounter, that would preoccupy them for at least a couple pay-per-views. In the meantime, I expect Punk to wrap up his feud with Jericho and then move onto Lord Tensai, as I think Johnny foreshadowed last week. Perhaps they'll give Dolph Ziggler a reign, albeit a brief one, just to help establish him for later. Maybe they'll decide against Wade Barrett-Randy Orton on SmackDown once Barrett returns and win Money in the Bank and instead go for Barrett-Punk. I think the matches would be better and also I'm not too keen on seeing more Barrett-Orton after the end of 2011. Their matches weren't bad, not just so good that I'm dying to see more.
Regardless of who he loses the title to, Punk seems to have occupied Cena's old role. John's now busy fighting legends and probably won't be as consistent in the WWE Championship picture as he once was. CM Punk's now the guy who WWE will test out new main eventers with, while relying on him as a fallback WWE Champion if such a new person doesn't work out. That isn't to discredit his own reigns, as I'm sure he'll have plenty of quality matches and storylines.
Even though Michael Cole is generally a dipshit, I agree with his statement from last week: the outlook on WWE is different. We now essentially have four characters (Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, The Rock and John Cena -- possibly Punk and Austin) who are blatantly poised for some combination of matches at WrestleMania. The calendar year of WWE feels like a storyline in it of itself, all of it building up to a conclusion at the next WrestleMania, albeit with some filler thrown in. It won't be entirely like other years where they attempt to hash out big storylines just a month before the big storyline. What will likely be the two or three main events for next year are possibly already planned. It feels like the Attitude Era when WWE was capable of more respectable long-term planning. Though it'd work out better if people would STOP GETTING FREAKING INJURED! Seriously, from November to February it didn't feel like early WrestleMania season, it felt like the winter of injuries. Fuck. Quit breaking things, WWE wrestlers. Especially you Barrett. You're essentially the reason why we got Team Johnny vs. Team Teddy instead of Money in the Bank. Prick.
Just kidding, accidents happen, it's cool my Welsh bro.

His reign has been hurt by the fact that he never had a chance to truly rise to the top of the company. I've enjoyed it though. He and Sheamus are just in an awkward place right now but Punk is in a better place than Sheamus.
Not sure what the Welsh line means.

Which win helped Lesnar more? The title win over Rock or the stoppage win over Hogan?

Rock. I barely remember the one over Hogan.
