Any word on the WWE Draft?

The last I heard, it was just a matter of them deciding where and when to do it.

What can you tell me about the "Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty?  I've seen him pop up a few times on some programs on WWE's Old School stuff from Peacock and have no idea who he was.

Pete Doherty was just a local worker who regularly appeared on the Boston area cards.  Like some of the other undercard characters of the era, since he was around so much, he gathered a small fan following and I believe even did some commentary on house shows that were televised, but was never a major part of the WWF's touring schedule.   He is still around at 80 years old but I don't recall him making any appearances in recent years, but he has popped up at conventions and such over the years.  I know there was a play based on his life, but don't believe it has been staged in many years.

The Duke the Dumpster arrest made me realize it's been awhile since we had a Tammy Sytch update, soooo?

No update that I have been made personally aware.  She is still in prison through 2039.

ALSO, did the ships and plunder guy ever resurface?

No.  Maybe he has a submarine now. 

Every now and then I see some of these other YouTube/online wrestling personalities getting in the ring or announcing or doing spots.  How far are we from seeing you do that?

I hate to break your heart if you actually serious with this, but I will.  It's never going to happen with yours truly.  That's not my role as a writer, as a reporter or a 50 year old man.  If I'm working here, it's not happening.  I don't care what others do, but I have zero interest in exploring that  The farthest I would go is interviews on stage at an event like Starrcast or New York Comic Con, which I have done in the past and have enjoyed doing, but for me, that's it.
