Robbie E interview, Questions on HHH/Mayweather, Natalya, tag teams, Flair, and TNA PPVs, drastic changes to NXT, Rhodes interview, 5/10 Impact rating

Robbie E was interviewed to promote a TNA live event.

My take on the 5/11 PWInsider.com questions:
1. Basically that. Triple H is in with the right people (and has been for years), whereas Punk's a rebel.

2. This same question could be asked and (answered the same) about a number of talents. Someone's going to be on a losing streak. It's how WWE (and sports in general) work. Some teams go from being champions to terrible records within a few seasons. I agree that Natalya is very talented though.

3. It depends on the tag team. The ends justify the means for me. If we get Edge and Christian as successful singles guys, it's good. When WWE broke up the Dudley Boys (pre-TNA), it didn't work out so well.

4. And I still think it raised TNA's profile to have one of "their guys" on a heavily-watched broadcast. It's like Samoa Joe being mentioned in Foley's book years back: WWE put a TNA guy over! For free!

There's nothing to add to 5, but I'd add Slammiversary to 6. Other than that, BFG and Lockdown are the only big annual PPVs in my eyes.

After the break, I hit everything else from 5/11!

NXT will be undergoing some major changes in the future, moving to its own tapings. It will feature a number of FCW talents looking to make it to the main roster and will be taped at Full Sail University. Triple H is behind the changes. The talent list will be revealed in a future news post. I'm psyched for some of the names.

Cody Rhodes was interviewed. He seems like he really "gets it" as far as what it takes to be hugely successful in the business. I hope he ends up like Shawn Michaels.

The 5/10 Impact did a 1.11.

That's all for the 5/11 news. 5/12 is coming next. Thanks for reading!
