I have been most impressed over these last few months on the improvement in TNA. The tremendous growth of the Knockout division. Stars such as Eric Young, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Rhyno given the chance to show what they are very capable of doing both in and out of the ring. WWE recently has been criticized for having the same one on one confrontations. TNA produces fresh and interesting men and womens matches. TNA has really come into its own both on TV and on tour throughout and outside this country. Thoughts?

I think TNA has done a very good job of making the Knockout division serious and also pushing younger talent in quality wrestling matches.  I do think TNA has their own hangups when it comes to main events (too many multi-man matches, too much interference), but their PPV events lately have been mostly quality shows. 

Has TNA ever been interested in appearing in both the countries of Afghanistan and Iraq for the purpose of entertaining the men and women of our armed forces?

I haven't heard of any plans for TNA to go overseas, ala WWE, for shows. 

With the surprising push of TNA's Amazing Red do you seem him becoming their version of Rey Mysterio, Jr?

While I am a huge fan of Red and his work, Rey Mysterio is a very unique character.  Not sure Red, or any smaller worker, can attain his level of popularity.

What makes a world title a world title in your book? TV in different countries? Touring of different countries? The world title (or other belts-tag team, women's, ect) defended in different countries? How much different countries?

I think the "World Title" definition is dead now.  Back in the 70's and 80's, you had champions who traveled to different countries and worked for different promotions against different opponents.  Now, while the WWE champions may wrestle in different countries, they are wrestling the same people.
