With the simultaneous house shows WWE ran this week in the northeast and Midwest, did the northeast get screwed or what? I went to MSG on the 26th and aside from the great cage match I thought it was one of the worst cards I've ever seen.

The talent base is just not what it needs to be and when they run two shows, it will show itself even more. With that said, as long as the company delivers the advertised talent that people knew were going to appear when they bought tickets, you can't really blame them.

Could you see WWE reviving a King of the Ring PPV with a possible championship match incentive, say at SumnerSlam? It could help make a name for the newer talent.

Now that there is one title, maybe. I think the concept has run its course though. It seems very dated to me.

Hey guys, my question is regarding independent wrestlers taking bookings in hostile countries. I stumbled upon the state department's website warning against travel to certain countries and I noticed Nigeria was on the list. It brought to mind Cliff Compton's hilarious podcast with Colt Cabana about his experience there. My question is, do these wrestler's have any kind of security with them if they are, let's say, on a tour, or are they taking their lives in their own hands by traveling here and also if you think the payday is worth the risks involved. Thanks!

It all depends on if the promoter arranges it for them. Me, I would never do a tour of a country like that. It's just not worth it to me.

With Batista returning, how does this change the landscape of WM? Also, do you see him in the title mix anytime soon?

The early word is that he would win the Rumble and work against Randy Orton at Mania. I think that is a huge mistake because it shows, once again, that WWE needs to bring in older guys from the past for big Mania Title matches. The clear message is "we don't have the guys on the roster to put in that match". I say book the talent that they have better so they can put their full time guys in the big matches.

What was WWE thinking when they signed Sin Cara for so much? Don't you think they knew that he was going to be more of a comedy act than a main event wrestler, and also considering the fact that because of his wrestling style he would get injured a lot. Not to mention that Luchadors in the WWE aren't that popular (excluding Rey) especially those that can't "speak englis

They were hoping it would give them a big draw in the Mexican market, which was hot at the time.
