What are your thoughts on WWE calling shows "season premieres"?

I find it hilarious when a show that never ends or has a season finale has a season premiere.  I have always laughed when WWE does that.

A season premiere! Great! But not really. I watched, hoping, but not expecting, to see some cool things. All I saw was a bunch of rematches and  the ruins of a great character (Damien Priest, Keith Lee. Etc).. And more of the same old, same old. I have been watching the WWWF/WWF/WWE since the early 60’s, and it’s no fun watching a match when you know who is going to win because you figured out the way they book. I have been watching AEW for a few weeks..that is the wrestling I remember, minus the blood and cursing. Maybe it’s just me, but I think VKM better start paying attention, and find some new way not to keep depending on old, overused, and no longer believable storylines. Your thoughts?

I think the WWE process on the whole needs an overhaul.  They have been booking the same kind of show for 20 years now.  It used to be "anything can happen in WWE".  I would love to see them get back to that.

So is it safe to say that Mr. McMahon has dropped the ball with Karrion Kross? If so, where and why did it go wrong? Is there hope that Kross can be re-presented the way he did in NXT?

I think it is, yes.  He dropped the ball when he left Scarlett out out of the act.  It also didn't help that he has that ridiculous outfit.  The guy should be booked as a killer, and he's booked as a dope.

How is Homicide an ROH star able to wrestle for ROH, GCW, MLW and most importantly how was he able to show up on AEW TV?

Simple, no one had him under an exclusive contract.

Has WWE ruined NXT for you as much as they have me since it became 2.0?

They have killed a show I used to love and made it just like their other shows. It’s sad, it really is.
