Chris Benoit is a true Rabid Wolverine and I expect Benoit to begin to really re-establish his presence on SmackDown! and bring more luster to the United States Championship.

Hello, Jim. I am a Sooner fan. Also, I am from Westville. I was just wondering what your thoughts on the Bret Hart DVD and WWE are. Go Sooners!

Good to hear from a fellow Westville, Oklahoma Yellowjacket, class of 1970 for yours truly. I had a chance to speak with Bret Hart this week, as he was in Stamford at the same time I was. From the looks of what Bret is personally selecting to be included on this DVD, I think it will be excellent. Bret’s legacy isn’t about one night in November 1997 in Montreal, and this DVD will cover lots of ground. I highly recommend it.

Do you feel we will ever see Bret Hart ever again in a WWE ring... be it as part of a farewell speech at the Hall of Fame or at WrestleMania 22?

In the ring as an active competitor…no. However, I do think there is a great chance that he will be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. If he doesn’t go in next year it will be because he did not feel like it was time. He sure as hell deserves to be in there.

Ever since I saw Shelton Benjamin vs. Shawn Michaels on RAW, I have been following Benjamin. He is one of the main reasons I watch RAW (of course the other BIG reason is because of Shawn Michaels). I think Shelton is the future of WWE. In your opinion, how long will it be until he becomes WWE Champion? I hope it’s rather soon. I am anxious to see his star shine.

Athletically speaking, Shelton has every tool he needs in his tool box to be a big timer. Shelton, in my opinion, is lacking in the verbal area and when he gets more comfortable speaking, his star will shine brighter. This comes with repetition and experience. Shelton has a great personality and is fun to talk to backstage. He just needs to be able to express himself verbally in front of the camera as well as he does behind the camera. South Carolina’s greatest three-sport star is obviously very gifted athletically and his time will come perhaps sooner than we think.

Cool that it is back. I read that earlier today. Pretty much figured that Benoit was not getting "buried" as some people keep saying. If anything, it can become a situation that sees the secondary title more important than the top title on Smackdown.

He is right on with Shelton as well. Let him get more comfortable on the mic, and the sky is the limit with him.

I do wonder who is next for Playboy though. I would assume the new Diva. Wait...is Victoria still with the WWE? She expressed a desire to do the magazine in the past.

They got rid of the half of the WGTT who had both the in ring tools and much better speaking ability. Charlie "IKMF" Haas.

Lack of strong in ring speaking ability or not, Benjamin was the far more exciting athlete of the two. If I have to make a choice between the two aspects I'd take ring excitement.

Not gonna argue that. But Haas was still much better than the rest 2/3's of the crap they still have a around. And a fued between the two would have been sweet.

Not gonna argue that either heh. I think they did try and start something between them but it didn't last long. I don't remember the storyline specifics but I think Haas got injured before they could really get it started and they never followed up on it when he came back.

I'll wait and see what happens with Benoit before I start heaping praises on the WWE. If he has a nice 8 to 12 month run with the belt against meaningful opposition, then it'll be a good thing. The US and IC belts can both be made strong again, as they deserve to be. But such potential has to be followed through, and that hasn't been done with either belt in almost a decade.

:lol I'm reminded of those hilarious WCW skits, which offended the WWE sheep for some reason. :lol
