It's early and I haven't had my caffeine so bear with me. What if when Batista comes back he comes back as a member of the Shield? The Shield are the Hounds of Justice and Batista's last promo was how he's gotten screwed from the beginning. Say at Summerslam Ambrose and Reigns are beating down Orton and Rollins, Triple H gets involved and a returning Batista runs down to beat Help the Shield. The fans may finally accept him. Personally I like the Shield as young hungry dogs but Batista does have to return eventually and this could be a way to do it. Plus it would give the Shield a one-up in the fight. You steal our guy, we steal yours.

I would hate that. It would go against what the Shield is, and also what Big Dave is. He doesn't want to be in a group. He wants a title shot. Plus, they are young and he is old. And he wears funny clothes, not black uniforms.

From Day One, every time HHH uses the sledgehammer it makes him look so weak and cowardly. Like he can't win on his own. Why haven't any of the other wrestlers ever been allowed to mention this in their promos?

I think it's because you are the only one that thinks it makes him look weak and cowardly. The rest of of us think it makes him look ruthless.

Ok, I hated the ending to Wyatt/Cena at Payback. But I don't think that it really hurt Wyatt. He reminds me of a Cactus Jack/Kevin Sullivan character. If Memory serves me correctly. They didn't win all the time. My point being is yes they need to make new stars. Cena is in a position to do that. But Cena has shown signs of wear and tear in his character. To me it could follow him to his next feud. Your thoughts?

I am not sure what you are saying. I hated the finish for a few reasons. One, Bray could have been elevated with a win, and they need new blood at the top. Sure, he wasn't killed, but he wasn't elevated either. I also hate that Cena wins....again. That scenario has gotten old. And, imagine how the kids would pop for Cena wins if he actually lost to a heel every now and then. Vince McMahon is booking Cena like it's 1984 and it's not.

Help me understand why WWE would rather tarp 2/3 of the top level at Bankers Life Fieldhouse tonight instead of opening up more tickets with lower prices. The cheapest ticket was $32.50. Why not open those seats up for $15 a piece and sell the place out? I would have gone that way!

They would have opened them up if they had sold in advance. When they get a week or two out from a show, it becomes about setting it up for television. They can't know how many tickets will sell at the last minute and having one or two sections filled at the top looks worse on TV than having it look uniform.

How important are kneepads in the prevention of injury and long term wear and tear, and why don't some wrestlers wear them? I assume Cesaro's reason is because it adds to his "old school shoot wrestler" image, but what about other guys like Cody Rhodes, Big E, etc.?

It depends on the guy. Some like wearing them while others find them cumbersome. They only really help if there is a direct shot to where the pad is, which doesn't happen all that often.
