Do you think WWE announced two MSG events to lock in exclusivity and keep out AEW and New Japan?

No, I think they just decided to try a new, different strategy and see if it would help tickets sales for the December 2022 and March 2023 events.  New Japan had a date booked with MSG before COVID-19 made all of our lives miserable.  It's entirely possible to see them book another date there when the proper constellations align.

In watching a lot of old WCW and ECW shows, I see a lot of the same photographers, including George Napolitano, Bill Otten and Bill Apter, but who was the female ringside photographer that always appeared in a lot of NWA and WCW events in the late 80's into the 90's?

I believe you are referring to Linda Roufa, who handled photography for a lot of the Japanese magazines at the time.  

Did anything come out of the Nick Aldis-Billy Corgan fake shoot work angle?

Aldis is under contract I believe until the end of the year, so my guess is that if you don't see some sort of storyline or angle between the two by then and Aldis exits the promotion he help put back on the map, it wasn't a work or didn't get turned into one.

Why doesn't someone do a Jedi gimmick in wrestling?

Disney's lawyer gimmicks would slice their hand off faster than you can say Cloud City.

What's the most random wrestling factoid you can think of right now?

The first live wrestling match I ever saw was Terry Gibbs vs. Paul Roma.
