WHY TNA IS RUNNING THE MANHATTAN CENTER, THE END OF THE STREAK A MISTAKE?, DANNY DAVIS AND MORE

Why is TNA running the small venue in the Manhattan Center? Are you going to tell me they can't fill The Hammerstein Ballroom three nights in a row?

TNA chose which venue to run. They had the ability to book either one and decided to go with the smaller venue, feeling it would be easier to fill.

Do you think there is a chance that the streak ending was called in ring by Taker? There appeared to be genuine confusion and shock on Lesnar's, Heyman's, and the ref's faces. Also, the ring announcement and ring music took a couple of minutes to cue up.

No, it was the planned finish. As I discussed after Wrestlemania in a Hot News Hotline, very few people knew the finish. The production team and the referee were not among those who knew, hence the hesitation.

How long is Batista in WWE?

He's signed a long-term deal but will take breaks for promotional work needed for his films. I don't know the length of his deal.

WWE bringing in Lanny Poffo for Access. You think that means the Poffo family goes in for HoF next year as per Randy's wishes?

It's possible. We haven't heard there were any discussions, but one would have to think at that some point, they would have to address the elephant in the room.

Why have Danny Davis on Wrestlemania and then not identify him?

It was just a cameo to pop the fans who knew it was him.
