Any chance the Lesnar/WWE contract negotiation problems,  including Brock storming out of RAW a few weeks ago, are a work? They've obviously incorporated it into the storyline and there are ways WWE can benefit from the uncertainty. It builds interest from MMA fans and media, and fans at Wrestlemania might be less likely to boo Reigns if they think Lesnar is deserting the company again. Thoughts? 

There is a small chance I guess but nothing credible I heard backs it up. WWE wanted Lesnar on TV and had promoted it, so it looked bad when he no showed. I think the company has learned with John Cena that the fans will do what they want to do.

I really see upside in Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy, whats your take on them? And do you believe down the road they can be a really solid/successful tag team on the main roster?

They are still learning the ropes but they have potential, for sure. If WWE did a better job of pushing tag teams that would be a good thing for them. But until WWE does, I would try seeing what I could do as a single if I were them.

We've barely seen Sami Zayn since R:Evolution. One title defense, not even a "live" promo since the loss. Not at the Arnold showcase either. Is he nursing an injury? Obviously we won't know about a possible call-up until the night after Mania, but his absence seems strange considering he's still the first sight on the NXT opening montage.

As we reported on the site last week, he is dealing with a shoulder issue. That has kept him out of action.

I think we’re all aware that if Vince McMahon were to pass away that WWE would be passed down and run by HHH and Stephanie, but my question is, who is the coach-in-waiting if something happened to Kevin Dunn? I mean, from a production standpoint, he is as important as Vince, so losing him whether he died, quit or fired, would be a huge blow to WWE.

Dunn has a competent crew working underneath him so my guess is that WWE would first try promoting one of them. Part of what they do at NXT is train people behind the camera for the future as well.

WWE seems like they are really trying to bury old hatchets when it comes to former talents including Alundra Blayze, Bruno Sammartino, Randy Savage, etc., but it seems like they are really trying hard to create some new ones with CM Punk, ADR, Rey Mysterio, Ricardo Rodriquez, and so on. So why are not trying to fix the ones they have now instead of waiting for another 10+ years to pass. Is it just for a HOF induction?

It takes two to tango. Punk, Rey, ADR…..they aren’t exactly loving WWE right now. They don’t want to make up with the company there isn’t much WWE can do with them. I think in Ricardo’s case it’s just that they don’t value him so they don’t really care if he is mad at them.
