Interviews with Fandango/Hogan/Piper, Cena appearance and Questions on Raws we won't see, inducting Razor Ramon, Sting vs. Taker, Paige vs. AJ and the XFL

Fandango was interviewed ahead of WrestleMania. Hard to believe he was feuding with Chris Jericho at this time last year.

Here's a recap of Hulk Hogan talking to Arsenio Hall. Hogan vs. Austin ain't happening, brother.

Roddy Piper was interviewed about a number of WWE topics. I still like the idea of Piper's Pit with Hogan and either Mr. T or Warrior (if not both) being interrupted by, say, 3MB and/or Miz leading to the feel-good moment of the legends standing tall. I would have loved something with Zeb Colter playing off the "Real American" song, but there's no way that will happen. Piper managing McIntyre could be pretty cool. I think celebrities should be used in a way to enhance the current roster as well.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

John Cena was at the Kids' Choice Awards. Not that the people who want him to turn heel care about how valuable he is in that kind of capacity.


For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think they'd be forgiven for completely skipping the Benoit episode. It's not like there are any matches on the show or anything. Owen and Eddie are remembered fondly, so I expect their tribute shows to air.

2. My guess is they'll induct the nWo separately one of these days and that will cover what isn't covered by inducting Ramon. It will be interesting to see if they induct Diesel instead of Kevin Nash for the same reason considering Nash lasted longer in WWE than the nWo nostalgia run.

3. I think they would be justified for using "smoke and mirrors" to cover for the age of the participants. Maybe some run-ins from Kane and Flair (as Sting's biggest rival). Other than that, it'd probably be standard "kicking out of/reversing each other's finishers" fare.

4. Barely anyone watches NXT. WWE's focusing on promoting "Total Divas", which people actually do watch (more than they watch Impact). I can't blame them for going that route and saving Paige for when they can make the best use of her.

5. For what it's worth, the XFL did influence the NFL in some ways. So it wasn't a total wash.

More wrestling tomorrow.
