-Ross on Ric Flair and the WWE Hall of Fame: "How can TNA allow Ric Flair to attend the WWE HOF Induction Ceremony to be with the Four Horsemen? Logically, how could they not? How does it hurt TNA? Why would any logical business want to deprive one of their people a well deserved moment of recognition from their fan base? Plus, comparing WWE and TNA as if it was the second coming of the Monday Night Wars is laughable. To me, this matter is much to do about nothing. Ric Flair comes to Miami and is with the Horsemen to be recognized for distinguished service to the business and then he returns to TNA to resume whatever it is that he's doing."

Powell's POV: Somehow, I don't think this would be the opinion of WWE management if TNA was holding the Hall of Fame event and wanted to induct a WWE personality. That said, I hope TNA allows Flair to make the appearance. I've yet to hear from anyone in TNA who says he won't be allowed to appear. Rather, most people assume Flair will be allowed to appear onstage at the Hall of Fame.

-Ross on Ultimate Warrior and the WWE Hall of Fame: "What will it take to get Warrior in the WWE HOF? I don't know but I know that attempting to barter additional video projects such as a DVD, etc likely won't get it done. I'm not in that loop, luckily, but basic, logical communication usually works best. No one I know has ever argued that Warrior isn't deserving. Personally, I have no issue with his outspoken personality as it is Warrior being Warrior and exercising his First Amendment rights."

Powell's POV: Warrior stated in January that he turned down Vince McMahon's invitation for Hall of Fame induction. He said he was contacted on December 23, 2009 about being inducted as a member of the 2010 class. He has disputed claims that compensation was the issue that caused him to reject the offer.

-Ross on jealousy in the locker room toward The Rock: "Are you concerned about the WWE locker room being 'jealous' of @TheRock returning to headline WM28? Not in the least. I say 'get over it' if you are indeed so immature and insecure to have such an asinine reaction. If one wants to perform at WM28 make sure that one's in ring work and out of ring professionalism is such that you CAN'T be omitted from the card. Rock is going to assist in baking a LARGE PIE of which many will get an enhanced slice."

Powell's POV: Where is the jealousy when it comes to Chris Jericho, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker also receiving high profile roles at WrestleMania 28 when most of them didn't wrestle for the company all year? I realize Jericho is under contract and working house show matches and Hunter is obviously a key player in the office. I'm certainly not suggesting that anyone should be upset about where those wrestlers are slotted on the card and I know it's not exactly the same situation, but I don't quite grasp what makes The Rock's situation so different. My guess is that it's politically safer to be critical of Rock than it is the others.
