What's up with the Jinder Mahal!!!  Why he signed up with WWE again…just to become a jobber?

He was brought back to be a veteran and work with younger talent.  It may even get better down the road.  You have to get your foot in the door first and he did that.

I have always had the opinion that the Big Show has never been booked correctly in his entire WWE run. I could not believe my eyes when he was defeated by Austin in his debut match in 1999. In my opinion, this booking decision derailed Big Show's potential to be a star on the same par as Andre. What are your thoughts on Big Show's WWE run? Did Vince job him out bc he was originally from WCW? In my opinion, this was a horrible booking decision that Big Show never quite recovered from. Thoughts?

It was a lot easier to use Andre back in the day.  He didn’t work full time so he came in for runs, then went away for a while.  The business changed in the nineties.  Rosters became weekly TV with non-jobber matches.  I love Show and all, but there is no way you put him over Austin at that time.  And if you book him to be the unbeatable monster, how is he not the Champion?  And if he is the Champ, how do you get the Title off of him.  He came along in a different era than Andre.

Why did you say Nikki was a face placed in a heel spot? As I recall The Bella Twins were heel when they left. Nikki was a heel champion. I agree with Carmella heel turning it is great for a career for anyone to have a heel run. 

I honestly don’t even remember what they were, though I remember Brie getting a face send off at Mania.  It doesn’t matter tho.  They have turned so many times I can’t keep count.  She is a face because they told the world that she just came back from serious neck surgery.  That simple.

Are we doomed for another unwanted Roman Reigns title reign, that the crowd and Reigns are in no way prepared for? 

I sure hope so.  I would love to see the people who won’t stop hating on the guy lose their minds.  I get the way that they felt going into WrestleMania, 100 percent.  Since then, he has lose a lot and had a bunch of great matches.  Yet, they still boo.  So, at some point I would love to see him get what he deserves.  The fact that it will make some fans lose their minds will make it hilarious to me.

Did the WWE just permanently bury Ziggler to the midcard? What can be done to save Ziggler’s character? Do you see him ever holding the top belts again?

Not at all.  You were referring to the loss to Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam.  If you listened to the crowd, they told us that they didn’t believe Ziggler could win the Title.  That is due to the years of bad booking he has endured.  Since Smackdown has split, I like how they have booked him.  He has been much better with Ambrose and last week’s promo on Miz was great (it’s Monday so I don’t know what they did on Smackdown yet).  I don’t know if they can get him back to the top but I like the path they are taking with him.  I like it a lot.
