FANS HOPPING THE RAIL, AUSTIN CRITICIZING STEPHEN AMELL'S SUMMERSLAM APPEARANCE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2015-09-11 10:00:00
With what happened on RAW during Seth Rollins entrance a stupid fan walked behind him, I saw online an incident from a few years ago involving Batista. He was backstage warming up and a fan jumped in front of him and imitated his machine gun entrance which was funny. Then he runs away after security chases him. My question is was it real or scripted? The camera was on the fan too long but you never know.

In that case, I believe it was something WWE scripted. No way a fan was getting that far backstage and in a room where there is a pre-shoot.

Stone Cold Steve Austin recently criticized Stephen Amell's in ring involvement in a match at Summerslam, and I found it to be completely unfounded. Amell, who is a lifelong fan that has a ton of respect for the business, & did a very good job in the ring with the little time he had to train. He took bumps, played the face in peril, and made the hot tag to the worker, Neville, who got the win. It's not like he got a ton of heat on Stardust or Barrett, he hit a couple of good spots, including the dive to the outside, and that was it. What are your thoughts?

I thought Ammel made a great showing for himself and looked respectable. I think Austin's issue was having someone from outside the business come in and looking as if he was on the same level as the current stars. I get that mentality, but it wasn't like this was Jay Leno.

Did fans try to jump the barricade to be part of the show in previous eras or is this a new thing? I know there were fans who wanted to get at the heel because they were so good at getting heat, but I don't really recall anything like what we saw on Raw with Seth Rollins or throwing the briefcase at Roman Reigns until the past few years.

Lots of fans hopped the rail because they were angry at heels or drunk or stupid. I have no real theory as to why fans have been acting this way of late but sincerely hope WWE security takes care of the issue the next time something happens. What happened this past Monday with Seth Rollins had no business ever happening.

So with Braun Strowman being added to the Wyatt Family, what role do you see for Eric Rowan once he returns from his injury? I am worried that he will come down with “Creative has nothing for you” syndrome.

Why can't he become the fourth member of the group?

Where's the Great Khali?

Khali is in India and running a wrestling school.

After the Sheamus and Randy Orton feud is over, whom should Randy Orton feud with?

It certainly looks like it should be Bray Wyatt!
