Thoughts on Jake Roberts: "I'd love to see Jake clean, sober & healthy living a happy, productive life."
Reason why WWE pay-per-views are on Sunday: "I'd assume that there is research to indicate that Sunday is the best night for WWE PPV's plus it is and has become a tradition that I don't see changing. Plus, it works well with the cable and satellite operators which is critical."
Thoughts on WWE Total Divas: "I'm a big fan of Total Divas. It's nicely done. The away from the arena content is entertaining."
Wrestlers taking chair shots: "Chair shots to the head are a thing of the past one would hope. Really stupid to execute such in today's concussed aware society. Chairs to the back are much less destructive and damaging over the long haul."

I was lucky enough, I did well in college, they gave me a shot, they knew I was a fan and it all worked out."

- It was originally reported that Randy Orton suffered a wrist injury at WWE's Tribute to The Troops tapings but a high level WWE source confirms that he dislocated his shoulder. Orton injured the same shoulder he hurt a few years back while pounding the mat.
WWE's website has a storyline article up on Orton's injury, blaming it on the attack from The Shield on last night's SmackDown. It doesn't sound like Orton will be missing much time. In the storylines, WWE first said that Orton had the separated shoulder and possibly a concussion. They updated later and said that Orton was taken to a local hospital and did not have a concussion. They added that Orton may be able to compete.
Here's the video of Orton being attacked by Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns on SmackDown:
