Now that the NHL is moving away from NBC, what was the point of USA moving NXT to Tuesdays now, anyway?

There were several points.  One, they could get a stronger cross-promotion in theory from Monday Night Raw to get viewers to come back the next night.  Two, they got a night for themselves, where they could try and build an audience without worrying about what AEW was doing.  Three, they are no longer second in a two horse race.

Any update on Summerslam location?  Any chance it will be Los Angeles?

Nothing is set in stone as of this writing.  They are hopeful of having it in front of a live audience and have looked at different cities.  The fact some cities are talking about opening up this summer has WWE widening that net.  We have not heard LA mentioned at all.  As of this writing, there isn't even an official date locked in, so anything could be in play.

Who is the announcer in those Ric Flair commercials?  Why would WWE allow him to do this?

Dave Marquez of the UWN/Championship Wrestling from Hollywood.  Flair is allowed to do outside projects.

I am watching some old WCW and was wondering why was Chucky the killer doll on a show cutting a random promo on their Titantron?  Did he ever show up again?

It was simply a promotional appearance for the film Bride of Chucky arranged by Universal Pictures.  He did not return.

What was worse, this or the Muppets on Raw?

I'm never going to knock The Muppets, so I guess Chucky.

How often does NWA tape?

Usually once a month.  Their next tapings are slated for the week of 5/15.
