I am tired of seeing John Cena with the championship for all of the reason you guys are...no need to rehash that. But what are we to make about Raw's biggest audience in what seems like forever coming the night after Cena wins another title? Will WWE use that as the proof that they're right and all of us are wrong? And is it?

Well, it was the biggest audience in less than three months. It's not like it was stupid high. And you could make the case it was just cruious fans that didn't watch the PPV. Unlike other shows, the fans that don't buy PPVs knew there would be a title change at MITB so it made tuning in on Monday more important.

Following the GM question, who was Jack Tunney? Did he have another role rather than the odd video being an authority figure?

He and his family were promoters in the Toronto area and when the WWF went national in 1984, they aligned with them and that led to his role on TV.

I just read the story about Emma's arrest. With talent now considering shoplifting, isn't it a good time for WWE to address the pay per view bonuses?

Ouch! Seriously, the bonuses are purely at WWE's discretion so unless a talent has a figure written into his contract, they don't have a legal leg to stand on. With that said, given WWE has given the bonuses out for years, they should address the situation with the talent.

WWE often seems to hire guys, do nothing with them, then release them a couple of years later. No angle, no gimmick, no push and no chance to get over. Obviously they see something in these guys in the first place, but why take them on if they're not going to use them? What sort of hiring policy is this!?

I think it's a good one. Just because WWE sees something in the talent doesn't mean they are guaranteed to become stars. Look at mainstream sports. They draft talent every year. Some guys make it, some guys don't. It's the same thing with developmental.

Hi, We often hear of the WWE management, saying they are unhappy with stars being out injured. Daniel Bryan as an example. It seems they blame the superstar who is injured for being out. My question is do the guys who actually injure these wrestlers get any heat or punishment? We are massive Bad News Barrett fans and feel that Jack Swagger was reckless over zealous or deliberately stiff, injuring him on the Smackdown taping. Possibly costing him the briefcase from the Money in the Bank match. Do they ever get sacked, fined, suspended etc ?

There have definitely been careless guys that hurt people and have been let go. The general rule of thumb is anyone can make a mistake. But when a pattern develops, WWE lets those talents go.
