SHEAMUS A TRANSITIONAL CHAMP?, ROBOCOP IN WCW, BILLY GUNN & MORE

Now that Sheamus has the championship, do you think that WWE will stand behind him and give him a good run with the belt? Or is Sheamus just holding the belt until they can build up some more support for Reigns or for a Daniel Bryan return? Sheamus has been a champ in the past, but he also lost the belt in 8 seconds in an opening match at Wrestlemania.

I think that remains to be seen. WWE has obviously wanted to get Roman Reigns to the top position of the company and Wrestlemania usually means the top babyface is triumphant. But, we will see where things take us.

Why did WWE release Billy Gunn for PED use that showed up during a screening for a power lifting competition that is not involved with WWE? Is it because they are afraid of having a trainer that uses PEDs possibly influencing developmental talent? Because of public image due to being a publicly traded company? I ask because, if the wellness program were in place when Gunn was in his prime as a performer for WWE, wouldn't he have been placed on suspension and be given a second chance like William Regal, Booker T, Rey Mysterio, and Randy Orton just to name a few? Has he had prior problems and already been given a second chance?

I can't speak 100% but my guess is that WWE didn't want to give the impression that someone that is responsible for overseeing their talents was personally breaking the company's Wellness Policy.

What's up with GFW cancelling their San Antonio show? I live in SA and was looking forward to seeing if they could put on a good show. Are they going under already?

Jeff Jarrett had to be overseas for television discussions with a potential UK partner.

When will the WWE Network add AWA?

I haven't heard of any plans to add AWA, although eventually they will get to it. They just added a ton of old NWA footage, so stay tuned!

When Robocop appeared in WCW, was it actor Peter Weller?

No, it was an actor hired to make promotional appearances.
