With the Nick Gage Dark Side of the Ring special and Drake Wuertz being infamously fired by WWE(for good reason), could you see some carney promoter capitalizing on both stories by booking a Death Match between the two?

Nothing shocks me in wrestling, nothing.

Adnan Virk and Mauro Ranallo's departures from WWE happened in large part due to them stretching themselves too thin with all the other projects they were involved in.  Virk, for example, was employed by several other companies as well as WWE.  Even though WWE has been looking to bring in announcers established in other areas of sports, when you look at guys like Virk and Ranallo as examples of taking on too many jobs at once, should they be wary of hiring announcers who have significant duties at other companies?

No, not at all.  Virk just wasn't the right man for the job.  Mauro didn't want to keep doing it.  If they find someone they think can do the job I think they will still try them out and see how it goes.  I think it's wise to take it on a case by case basis.

With all the exits from the WWE lately, if you are not named McMahon or married to a McMahon, is there a person or position whose job is more or less secure and they won't leave unless they actually want to on their own terms?

I think Kevin Dunn falls into that category, probably.  Beyond that?  Probably.

In your opinion, who should be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns? And why?

Right now there is no one I see who makes sense given where they are in the storylines.  Down the road?  I could see them getting Jey, or maybe Jimmy, Uso into that position but they are not there yet.

Do you think Peacock will actually have the entire Network archive moved over by August? They keep saying before SummerSlam, but from the small amounts they've been adding at the pace they're going at, it seems like there's no way they're gonna have it all moved over in time.

I honestly don’t know.  They are trying.  And to be fair, it came on them pretty suddenly.  They will get it done eventually.
