I have noticed you don't always have the audience for TNA Impact - why is that?
If the series doesn't hit the top 150 shows in the demo for basic cable, it's very hard to track down.
How did Michael E. Dockins end up becoming the go-to “wrestling trademark” lawyer? Did he ever have involvement with the industry beforehand?
Someone used him and suggested him to the next person and it grew from there.
Is it true Cody Rhodes is losing the WWE title to play Dr. Doom?
No.
Explain whether this is true: The New York Daily News' Slammer column the day of Wrestlemania X, where he details how Lex Luger gave away the ending of his matches that night, that he was supposed to go over on Yoko and turn heel to beat Bret. So, WWF changed the plans?
The story was in the Daily News in a Gossip column, but it was that Luger would win the belt and drop it to Bret. There was no truth to that being the booking, but someone leaked it to the News. The piece also claimed Mr. Perfect and Roddy Piper would be guest referees, which was correct.
Another ECW DOCUMENTARY? Really? Who's going to care about this?
Yes, really. ECW fans?
How many ECW DVDs were there?
If you mean the original company, Pioneer Home Video released 12 DVDS:
Extreme Evolution
Path of Destruction
Deep Impact
Barely Legal
Heat Wave 1998
Hardcore History
Best of Cactus Jack
Best of the Dudley Boyz
Anarchy Rulz 1999
Guilty as Charged 2001
Wrestlepalooza 1997
Cyberslam 1999
Written but not produced or released due to Pioneer shutting down their Sports Division were Best of Taz and Best of Rob Van Dam. There would have been at least two other compilations planned as well, but the final decision as to what the talents would have been had not been determined. I was working as a writer for the DVD line and had pushed for Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven as one of them.
WWE released:
The Rise and Fall of ECW
ECW: Bloodsport - The Most Violent Matches
ECW Unreleased - (Three volumes)
ECW One Night Stand 2005
ECW One Night Stand 2006
There was also Hardcore Homecoming, Hardcore Homecoming: November Reign, The Forever Hardcore documentary, Barbed Wire City and three seasons of Legends of Extreme on Highspots.TV, although those were "official" ECW releases.
