BRAY VS. UNDERTAKER, STUPID ROMAN RUMOR, SAMOA JOE AND MORE

Any truth to Roman failing drug test?

For the last time, NO. We covered this in great detail on the site. NO!

With guys like Rhyno and Kendrick now in NXT and Jericho having his last run be exclusive to house shows it got me thinking... What are the odds that Jericho's next run (because there's always a next run with him) could be in NXT?

I think there's pretty good odds that at some point, he makes an appearance or so there to work with some of the younger talent, but if he's going to make a full time return, he's coming back for good money and on the main roster. That said, let's get some Jericho vs. Finn Balor, ASAP!

I know WWE acquired the Central States Wrestling tape library when they purchased WCW, but they have shown very little footage from that territory anywhere. Do you have any insight into how much of the library actually exists and its condition?

WWE does not own the Central States Library. I've heard mixed things as to how much is out there and what condition it is in.

With Undertaker not being slated to actually appear live until Wrestlemania 31, do you think that actually hurts anticipation for the match? I know it's supposed to help build hype but in my mind, with all the speculation circling that Undertaker is hurt, hobbling, on the last leg of his career, I would want him to appear live as many times as possible looking as spry as possible to prove doubters wrong. Staying off tv only helps fuel rumors that he is indeed, not ready to go but going to battle at Vince's request. Also, should bray beat taker? I believe he should.

WWE can always change plans but as of now, we hear the plan remains that Undertaker won't be seen until Wrestlemania 31. I don't have an issue with that as part of the mystique is what does he look like and what is he going to be able to do, and you don't want to give that away for free. As far as Bray defeating him, in a perfect world, yes, he should beat Undertaker but given that the long-term goal is to have Taker return for Dallas at Mania 32, the ultimate all hands on deck show, I don't see it.

Why in the blue hell isn't the WWE Network celebrating its first birthday with any new material? A marathon of "the best of" is the best they can do? Gee, thanks WWE. I hadn't figured out how to watch all those programs on-demand. What a crappy way to thank those subscribers like me who have been there since the launch a year ago.

They wanted to showcase what they had for new potential customers by making the free stream available to all for the day. I don't blame them in the least - that's called good business, especially since the free month led to a number of new subscribers.

On a scale of 1-10, how badly did TNA misuse Samoa Joe after his feud with Angle?

In my opinion, how high do you want to count?
