I know MJF is a bigger star than Britt Baker and Britt has a history of causing trouble, but if MJF really went into the women's locker room, he should have been suspended too. This is especially true if he punched the wall.  Does Tony play favorites and have double standards?

Tony has a history of being way too lenient and letting way too many things go.  Without knowing everything that went down, it would seem from where I sit that both people involved should be suspended.  I would have suspended Alicia Atout as well if she was the trigger that led to the altercation.  You notice how this kind of thing happens in AEW and not in WWE?  That’s because one company is run professionally and the other is AEW.

So Logan Paul promotes a debunked and potentially dangerous lie about the female Algerian boxer to his millions of fans, and his mea culpa is “Oopsies”? Do you think that WWE would do best to throw Paul into the same naughty corner as Brock Lesnar and keep him off TV? The fact that he engaged in that garbage on a public forum is hideous to me.

I will reiterate what I said yesterday, yes I think WWE needs to ask Paul to represent himself, and by extension them, in a better light.  

When Pat McAfee came back as an announcer during the run-up to WrestleMania, they made it clear this is his final run as a regular announcer for WWE.  Do we know when this run will end (I'm guessing when College Game Day starts, but the travel schedule wouldn't be as insane as it would have been last time, given he's on Monday not Friday) and who do you think replaces him when it does?  Personally, I think my money's on Big E.

I don’t remember them ever saying it was his final run.  But, from what I have been told, Pat will be back after football season, just in time for the move to Netflix.  As we now know, Michael Cole is going to Friday next month and Joe Tessitore will be on Monday nights.

I was just wondering if there was any info on The Bump? It was supposed to be back, according to reports, several weeks ago and there has been no update. Are there issues with the move or is it simply cancelled?

It’s on hiatus with Byte This.  Seriously, I don’t expect it back any time soon.

So on your site, I read the article that printed Jonathan Coachman’s criticism of Mercedes Mone, when he said on Brian Hebner and Jimmy Kordera’s podcast.  It seemed harsh, but not mean spirited or in bad faith. I did NOT bother to read Mercedes Mone’s response.  I just studied that it was a 4 paragraph essay that looked 4 times as long as Coach’s statement.  Is it me or does Mercedes have thin skin?

I think that in this instance, yes she showed some very thin skin.  Coach has a right to his opinion.  If I were her, I wouldn’t have bothered to respond.  It just made the story into, well, a story.
