Gun to your head - Becky back by Wrestlemania, yes or no?
Please don't put a gun to my head but if I had to pick, I'd say Wrestlemania 41 doesn't come to an end without Becky appearing.
I seem to remember last year The Rock was part of Wrestlemania to either fulfill a commitment to Endeavor by being on the board of directors, or to receive a bonus (or maybe both). If so, is that the case this year as well, and will it be for all foreseeable Manias? Or is this year's instance just because The Rock wants to be part of it?
He's on the Board of Directors for TKO and his deal, which made him somewhere in the area of $25-30 million last year (if I am remembering correctly) was bult on him making certain appearances and handling certain duties to help promote the company, which would have included his Wrestlemania appearances for Mania 40. I would assume there's similar instances involved here but it may be he's not wrestling as he's getting ready for that Martin Scorsese movie. I don't think it's fair to assume he will wrestle or even appear every year but there are absolutely future matches for Rock.
With the TNA and NXT Partnership, are you of the mindset that they should be unloading the crossovers when it makes sense or necessary so that the audience can remain interested in however long the partnership goes for, or utilizing the partnership in full force out the gate and having the crossovers every week on both TNA and NXT? On the one hand, it makes sense to not burn out the audience to "expect" a surprise each week, and can hopefully build to a greater response for some future big match-ups versus potentially diluting the crossover, but on the other hand, both companies agreed to the partnership, so why not utilize it every chance they get.
The belief is they have a three year agreement, so they can take all the time they want. The idea here is to give talents on each side somewhere else to go and work - and it's added a nice dimension of excitement for each side, in my opinion. That said, there's no reason to do it without reason. You want it to enhance each side and be a spectacle, not something that seems passe.
Is The Bloodline storyline now over? It felt like it was from the Netflix debut with Roman vs. Solo, but it was almost an anticlimactic ending to a storyline that has been running for literal years. Right now, Solo and Fatu can be considered a feud, but a blip of a Mania-caliber feud for The Bloodline, all things considered. Should The Bloodline storyline have concluded at War Games, because after, they all went their separate ways anyway. Where do they go from here with their storyline? I just feel like their ending deserves more.
No, they can go back to it anytime they want. It's better to cool it off and then loop back as opposed to forcing it and killing it prematurely. Compare The Bloodline to the NWO. The latter died on the vine after becoming the hottest thing in pro wrestling because of bad creative. The Bloodline taking an intermission can mean there's a bigger second act being planned out. WWE can do one big angle and then they are off to the races again.
Do you think WWE should hire Gail Kim as a Producer?
Absolutely.
Best tag team of all time?
The Midnight Express, period.
