If Michael Sam never agreed to appear on RAW, why would WWE go to such lengths as they did to promote him appearing?  It makes no sense to me why they would promote someone so heavily who will, in all likelihood, not appear.  Did they originally have a deal which has since fallen through?

They did it to get publicity. It really was a desperate attempt. I was surprised that they did it to be honest.

Okay, how's this for an idea?  Wrestlemania 31 Main Event... Brock Lesnar... Vs Hulk Hogan... For the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.  And then you have Hogan go over and become the oldest world champion in history?  It's money, right?

Yeah that would be great. Nothing appeals to young males more than their grandfather, with tons of replacement parts, being the champion. And nothing is better for a guy with numerous back surgeries than to work a match with Brock. Yeah, that’s money all right. ARGH.

It seems like Bray Wyatt is being punished for getting over too well. And he's certainly not the first. Why does WWE kill hot acts instead of running with them? It's so frustrating as a fan.

I wish I had a good answer, I really do. It’s a Vince McMahon decision to do it, so it falls completely on him. It’s crazy if you ask me.

In this feud between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, do you see the Money In The Bank briefcase going up for grabs at Night of Champions?  Reigns could then win it, and announce that he's the first-ever to cash it in at WrestleMania.

Where WWE creative is concerned, I never say never but I think it would be a terrible idea, for a few reasons. For one thing, there is no logical reason for Seth Rollins to agree to put it on the line. For another, if Roman Reigns is going to be a bad ass baby face, I don't want to see him use the briefcase to get his first Title.

Whilst I have enjoyed the two previous NXT specials, could you ever see a NXT vs Main Roster event? Either as a special edition of RAW or a Network Special. Have the NXT Champion vs the IC/US Champion, the two sets of tag champions compete and also the Womens vs Divas. NXT talent could be introduced to the main audience through extended matches rather than vignettes followed by facing jobbers.

Versus? No, because are you going to have Adrian Neville beat Brock Lesnar? Sami Zayn beat John Cena? Nope, so it would just make the NXT guys look bad. Plus, they aren’t over with the masses yet since NXT doesn’t get viewed by more than 20 percent of the audience that watches Raw.
