If Luke Harper shows that he's ready to go when he works out at the performance center, how would you bring him back in to maximize his return? Heel or face? Back with Bray Wyatt or alone? Do you change his character? Personally, I think he's amazingly athletic for a man his size and pretty good on the mic. I would love to see him get a good solo push, maybe take his wild looks combined with his psychedelic rhetoric and have him be a guy who went on some sort of spirit quest and saw the errors in Wyatt's ways. Almost like an Easy Rider kind of thing.

I would love to see him come back and get a push as a big bad ass, in the spirit of Bruiser Brody.  Harper can really work and the whole Wyatt thing has run its course for him.  i would love to see him get a push as a bad ass babyface.

What is your take looking back at on Greg "The Hammer" Valentine?

He was really, really good.  Strong in the ring and solid on the mic.  I liked his work.

My question concerns the Smackdown tag team division. Do you see any of the heel teams making an impact? I'm tempted to think no based on all three teams being eliminated in the tournament.  The Ascension are scorched earth at this point and the Vaudevillians seem headed that way as well. However, I do think that Breezango could do well as a cocky heel team if given the chance. Your thoughts?

I agree with your there.  The heel side is kind of weak right now.  It seems that American Alpha is the gimme winner.  So, if they go that way, I would love to see them vs. Heath Slater and Rhyno on the final.  Have Alpha win but Slater works so hard he gets a contract anyway.  The fans have been enjoying him.

I agree with the idea that Brock is not giving much back but could that be the point of Lesnars booking. Could they be setting up Brock dominating every opponent so a future star gets say a clean best of 3 series win (thinking Finn Balor on his return) which really sets them up as the next Cena level star in WWE or am I giving the WWE writers too much credit to think that far ahead?

When you consider that the decision to have Brock beat Undertaker was a last minute deal, I think you are probably thinking farther ahead than they are.  I just hope that at some point they use the goodwill that they have created in Brock to put over some younger talent.

Are WWE PPVs no longer available through normal ppv providers? I have the network so I'm not affected but it would shock me if the network is the only place to watch them.

They are still available through yes.  It’s up to the cable company to decide if they want to carry them.
