Do you ever get tired of Dave Scherer's AEW opinions?

Why would I get mad at his opinions?  That's pretty silly.  I can tell you he's tired of my opinions on Star Wars, however.

Has there been any word on new Steve Austin Broken Skull Sessions on the WWE Network?

Nothing that I have heard about new episodes being produced.

I was wondering where Matt Bentley is these days?

Matt Bentley stepped away from the business.  The last I heard he had started a family.  He was always a strong talent and I wish timing and opportunities had been better for him.

I was looking over some old WWWF event results and, I noticed there were curfew draws.  What was this? 

During that era, the State Athletic Commission in New York would legitimately enforce a curfew for events, which I believe was 11 PM.  If a match hit that point, the commission called for it to end.  While you would think the audience would be upset, since it was a legitimate NY rule and the audience knew it, it was never an issue the way it would be today.  In that time period, promoters could book challengers into matches with the champion, go to a curfew draw and have a readymade issue to come back with because the challenger "almost had" the win but ran out of time.  

Do you think an actor's strike could open the door for John Cena to return to WWE full-time?

If all projects are shut down for an extended period, it could lead to opportunities for Cena to make appearances, but John Cena's full-time wrestling days are over.  He's pretty much stated his body can't handle a full-time run anymore and he shouldn't be expected to sacrifice himself at that level anymore in my opinion.  He's given the business more than enough.

Does WWE still have a Wellness Policy?

Yes.

Is it true Steve Austin's The Condemned was supposed to be a theatrical release but was canceled?

Absolutely not.  The film was released theatrically.  No one went to see it, but it was released.
