Ok. I know logic and wrestling don't go hand and hand but WWE seems to think we either have ADD or just really stupid. I mean are we to believe just a few months after suspending Brock Lesner for being pissed over what the authority and Seth Rollins did to him that now they are feeding Seth to Brock. Other shows gave continuity why is it so hard for the WWE?  

They always go back to “it’s best for business”. Yep, it’s a crutch and I am with you, I would like better storytelling.

Do you think Seth Rollins will get the "ultimate rub" and retain against Brock Lesnar and/or do you think he should?

Currently, no he shouldn’t because they have booked him largely as a coward. He has been afraid of Brock since this started. They could change the narrative by having Seth start to stand up for himself but unless they do that, it’s not even worth speculating on.

Isn't there a chance they're keeping Sasha Banks off NXT TV because she's being called up as the payoff to this Paige/Bella story?

As I type this on Sunday, the rumor has been Charlotte will be the payoff. Personally, I like the idea of both Sasha and Charlotte coming up. If Kevin Owens can bring the NXT Title to Raw, Sasha can bring hers as well.

Would New Japan buy both All-Japan and NOAH to add their tape libraries to their New Japan World streaming service?

For the right price, I don’t see why they wouldn’t. But it would have to be the right price.

Watching the Monday Night Wars, the question gets asked......how could Flair and Hogan not face each other at WM?  They did that awkward "double main event" instead and even back then (I'm 36 now) it felt weird.  On the MNW show, you see Mean Gene say he feels like someone put a stop to it but Flair or Hogan wouldn't give a definitive answer.  Then you see Hogan say he has no idea why the match didn't happen.  Flair basically said the same thing.  My understanding has always been that when running the match on the house show loop it didn't draw the way that Vince thought it would and he scrapped it.  Even so, if built on TV the way it should have been, it would have been worlds better than what we got at that 'Maina.  What's the true story in your eyes?  What was the true motivation of Vince, first of all, as well as every other party involved at the time?

Vince McMahon didn’t want to pull the trigger on it. It was his call. Only he knows why. To me, he left real money on the table there.
