So they book The Fiend to be unstoppable and impervious to pain, then Goldberg spears him a number of times and beats him. They treat Strowman like a joke for his entire career then have absorb numerous spears and wins the title. Does that not bury The Fiend even more?

In our eyes?  Absolutely.  In the eyes of Vince McMahon?  Not at all because “The Fiend has a WrestleMania match with John Cena pal!”  But yes sir, I am with you.

Do you think there’s a chance that Wrestlemania going forward will continue to be a two night event?

Only if we are in the same horrible state next year as we are this year with the pandemic.  WWE has other events WrestleMania weekend to present, plus I just don’t see them selling out a stadium two nights in a row.  It makes more sense financially to run one show in a huge building than two shows in a smaller one.

How in the hell have they gotten permission to use such explicit footage of New Jack's matches? These are evidence of assault if I've ever seen it.  Especially with his explanation of his state of mind/intent to injure/high on drugs condition.  Who owns the rights to these "matches"?

The footage of the Erich Kulas incident was probably obtained via the court system.  The same probably holds true for the second assault in Florida, or the promoter shared it.  Ironically, he was tried in both cases and found not guilty.  Go figure!

Documentaries like this HAVE to end the use of blood and weapons in the future, right?  I've always been a fan of blood at the right point in a feud to convey intensity... but I now agree with your distaste for them.

You would think so, but I will believe it when I see it at this point!

Do you see any retaliatory action coming from WWE for anyone appearing on the Dark Side of the Ring in the future, despite not being active mainstream performers?

I can’t think of anyone that appeared where it would really matter to them as none of them are on WWE’s radar.  Chris Jericho did the commentary, but I think he has enough teflon that down the road he will be back in good graces, especially when they need a Hall Of Fame headliner.
