I was curious as to what your thoughts on The Young Bucks are.  I never thought a lot of them but after watching them work at Best In The World and on the New Japan special, I am thinking that they have gotten better.  Is that the case?

First off, no that isn't the case.  The Bucks have been able to work fantastic matches for a long, long time now.  That is nothing new.  I have a lot of respect for the Jackson brothers.  They have created a brand and they know how to sell it.  They are very, very successful at doing so.  They have confidence in their abilities and have chose to bet on themselves, running their business their way, and they have been major successes.  As a businessman myself, I respect people that can do what they have done.   They make serious money, on their own terms.  And in the process, they get out of the wrestling business exactly what they want.  I am guessing the matches you saw were when they were doing their less serious schtick.  They can be more comedic (and sometimes unrealistic) at time, which doesn’t always appeal to me, but they also can deliver excellent serious matches, as they did at the ROH PPV and on the New Japan show, whenever they want to.  They are legit and have been for a long time now.

What's up with Roman Reigns still sporting The Shield swat gear? Ambrose and Rollins got to move on with their gear. Does Vince not want anyone seeing his golden boys sexy bare chest, is it for Vince's eyes only, or just lack of creativity?

Yes, that is exactly what the answer is.  Man, you have some major freak in you.  The real answer is Reigns is the one that WWE chose to give that look to, so the other two got to change theirs.

Any chance the Banks/Bayley counseling segments building towards a weird series of cross brand group therapy comedy skits with Bryan and Kane?

In WWE there is always a chance crazy storylines will come to fruition.  I don't want to see that happen but there is definitely at least a chance that it could.

We haven't seen the Demon character in some time.  Is Vince not a fan of the Demon persona?  I get that it doesn't make sense to bring out the Demon if there is no storyline reason for it, but if all we ever see is smiling, happy Finn, there will never be a reason and we will be missing out on witnessing arguably the most unique, creative character since the Undertaker.

I can't say whether Vince likes it or not but you make the point that I think is the bigger reason: Importance.  The Demon can only really come out in extreme circumstances.  Otherwise, we could ask why he doesn't do it all the time, since it means a win when he does.  Then again, we could probably question that anyway.

Watching the July 2nd episode of RAW, and seeing how Ziggler and McIntyre interacted with each other, it reminded me of Nash and HBK. Do you see any similarities?

I think that you could make a case for that.  McIntyre has been booked as a serious bad ass since his return.  That is how Nash was always booked.  Drew is also a wrestling machine, which Nash wasn’t, but for the purpose of him being a big bad ass, your comparison holds.  If you forget the way that Ziggler has been booked before, in this incarnation he has been a cocky, wrestling machine, which you could definitely compare to Shawn.  With guys can only hope that their current run ends up being as successful as Nash and HBK.
