Shawn Michaels wrestles one last match.  Who should it be against?

Daniel Bryan or AJ Styles.

If Kenny Omega vs. Cody Rhodes fails to sell out the Cow Palace for New Japan, what does that say for Bullet Club?  Are they cooling off?

I think it would say that New Japan needed a better local promotion for the show, mixed with the fact that fans who travel for big events already invested in traveling to All In this October.  I wouldn’t look at it as a failure for the talents on top as in my estimation, at that level in today’s climate, it’s the company and the overall event that draws the house, not a specific match.

Is it me or does EVOLVE need their belt [Note from Mike: WWN title] on Joey Janela more than Janela needs it?

I would agree.  I think it’s a case of the company hoping to play off the notoriety of Janela on the independents to make their company seem cooler.  It may work, and it was a smart play to try it.  

Why did Matt Riddle disappear from MLW?

WWN decided that the WWN contracts meant that their contracted talents would be prevented from working for other nationally broadcast promotions.  Obviously, since their goal is to bring talents to WWE, they don't want them working for WWE’s competition.

Is Impact ever going to actually run their own shows, as opposed to piggy-backing off independent or House of Hardcore shows?

One would hope so, but I have yet to see evidence of that.  They aren't in a financial position to do their own shows on a recurring basis and that won't change until the company is bringing in money or has an angel investor drop some serious money in.

There have been tons of pro wrestling conventions.  Have there been any talents who have never appeared at conventions?

The two that I can think of off the top of my head are Nailz and Misty Blue Simmes.  I am sure there are lots of others.
