I've noticed your answers for the Q&A are always to the point whereas Dave likes to elaborate a bit more. Is there any particular reason or is it just your respective writing styles?

Two different people write differently!  You can ask Dave if you need more elaboration!

I subscribed to your elite section for the first time ever with your Summerslam package, and what a difference!  On the August 21, 2000 episode of Nitro, it opened with a in memory of Peter Seligman. Who was this? I tried google and  can't find anything on him at all besides a reference to this episode!  Thank you for everything you guys do!

Peter Seligman was a highly thought of publicist who worked with Jay Leno and a lot of other top flight entertainers.  He unfortunately passed away in an accident in NYC.  WCW paid tribute to him.  My guess is that when they worked with Leno for his match at the Road Wild PPV, Seligman was involved and they wanted to honor him.

Is Zelina Vega really injured?

No, storyline.

There's been a lot of noise about WWE talents signing for Hollywood representation, but what happens when push comes to shove and they have to take time off for a film.  I can't imagine Vince McMahon would have allowed that.

Well, Vince McMahon doesn't own the company anyore.  In the old days, if he decided Alexa Bliss needed to be on the road and couldn't do a film role, that was the end of it.  It was at his whim.  Now the company is owned by a Hollywood powerhouse, so I don't think they are going to be against their talents doing roles and legitimizing WWE in the process.  99% of those who saw things the way Vince did and/or were loyal to him are gone from the company.  Anyone who doesn't realize that this an entirely new world and company are completely delusional or stupid or both.

Why don't they bring animals to the ring anymore?

Even in the wacky world of pro wrestling, there's been an evolution and understanding that it was an inhumane practice to have animals on the road.  I'm glad to see that aspect of the business retired.  It should never come back.
