Assuming Vince gave the ok for the design of the universal belt, how could no one who works for him that has any influence mention how bad it looks, when guys like you, superstars like Mick Foley, and every fan in the arena can tell at first glance?  Regardless of the backlash against the design, I get why they chose a red strap for the RAW belt.  Are there plans to change the Smackdown belt to blue, and will those plans be aborted due to the negative reaction towards the universal belt?

If the boss gives the OK, it doesn’t matter what the other people say.  Yes, I have seen pictures of an all blue WWE Title belt so unless something changes, that is the direction they plan to go in.

Given what was mentioned on your site about the finish to the Brock/Orton match being the planned finish all along, would it not have made more sense for the Balor title win to close the show instead?  Do you think that would have resulted in a) the TKO finish being more accepted since the show wouldn't have ended in the awkward manner it did, and b) the universal belt being more accepted by the fans in attendance, due to it being fought for and won in the main event?

They wanted to end it awkwardly, with the visual of Brock going into business for himself and “losing it”.  I wasn’t a fan of the finish, but if they were going to do it, I could see why they wanted to end the event with people wondering what happened.  That is how they get people to their website, social media and Raw on Monday.

While I'm happy she's now on the main roster, even though I don't really trust Vince in booking her, with how they split the women during the draft, shouldn't Bayley have been put on SmackDown, instead of Raw?  Especially if they're serious about giving SmackDown it's own Womens Title?

Well, there isn’t a Title on Smackdown and there is on Raw.  Plus, Sasha Banks is out of action.  When you consider that Nikki Bella just landed on Smackdown, if it’s me I would much rather be on Raw.

Could Bully Ray show up on WWE television or does TNA own that trademark?

I haven’t bothered to check what the trademark status of the name is but I I don’t see any way that WWE would ever use Bully Ray over Bubba Ray.  They have far more goodwill invested in the Bubba name than they every would get out of Bully.

With the recent horrible injury to Finn Balor & the injury to Sting do you think it's time that they ban Seth Rollins from performing the turnbuckle powerbomb? It seems like it puts a ton of force on the upper back & I always cringe whenever he executes it. 

I think that move has to be retired.  Honestly, with Sting, John Cena and now Finn Balor, I think the company needs to take a long, hard look at Rollins’ move set.  Accidents happen in the business, for sure, but that doesn’t mean that things can’t be done to try and prevent them.
