I was wondering why the site covered the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Boxing deal on Netflix.  It's not a work and has nothing to do with pro wrestling?

It has nothing to do with pro wrestling?  It's two big personalities being pitted against each other to draw money, plus Mike IS a Celebrity WWE Hall of Famer, he worked as a referee in one of the most important Wrestlemania main events in history, he worked for AEW, he guest hosted Raw and Jake Paul is Logan's Paul's brother, so it's not out of the question he'll pop up on WWE programming, especially since WWE's future Raw partner Netflix is streaming the show.  I've always covered those who are tangentially connected to pro wrestling and that's each of those individuals.  It's not all that different from covering a John Cena movie or Bad Bunny developing a Spider-Man film.

Is the Rock being on the WWE Board a work?

He's not on the WWE Board.  He's legitimately on the TKO Group Board of Directors.

Why did WWE put Brock Lesnar back on their website?

To the best of my knowledge, he was never removed.

Why did 2K obscure Vince McMahon's face in the new videogame, instead of just removing him?

They didn't have the time to remove him without potentially delaying the game, so they made the best decision they could with the time crunch.  They were stuck dealing with a situation that was well beyond their control and did what they could.  I applaud them for not just ignoring the situation.

Are we sure that sign on Smackdown that kept on getting blacked out wasn’t actually German for “The Rocky, The”?

Pretty sure!
