Happy, happy Knicks fan today. Started watching when Rick Pitino walked through that door. Had a Johnny Newman jersey. More an observation than a question and something I'd like your thoughts on. Danhausen is now and forever intrinsically linked to Knicks lore. I don't think wrestling fans realize how big of a deal having Danhsusen as a featured character in a New York Knicks championship run. He already has his on NBA CHAMPION merch on the NBA shop. Lots of human monies for him but how over the moon must TKO  be? This free spotlight was basically just handed to WWE on a silver platter.

TKO loves the pub, for sure.  Given that they are a partner with Disney, it makes the pub even better.  I hope they bring Danhausen to the parade on Thursday.

After watching Jade Cargil on Smackdown trying to work a match whilst trying to stop her wig from falling off, do you think it is about time WWE and other promotions called a moratorium on their women having these unnecessary vanity accessories on when in the ring? The amount of times hair extensions caused issues by falling out or getting caught in costumes, you'd think they would have learned by now.

I have to say, Jade was pretty impressive doing moves one armed but to your point, yes.  If they can’t find a way to pretty much guarantee that the wig stays in place, the wig shouldn’t be worn.

I know this may be an odd question, but when someone like Cody appears on a SmackDown and then the following Monday night on Raw, does he then go to a hotel near where Raw is?  Or does the company have him go home and then fly back?  I can't help but think if it's the latter, that would be so much harder and be a lot closer to the stressful WWE schedule of old when these guys had so little time with their family.  Or does it depend on who the talent is?

Well, Cody has his bus so it would be easier for him to stay on the road.  But I also think it depends on the talent.  Like if they ask Roman Reigns to do it?  I would think he is going home for the weekend.  A lower card talent?  They probably will stay on the road.

In Corporate America, often people laid off - work for weeks or even months after they were given notice. Why doesn’t WWE simply not announce releases and let people like Kairi Sane finish up their storylines - AND THEN release them? Why doesn’t WWE care that fans HATE dropped storylines? If this keeps happening, especially with main event storylines, don’t you think fans could start tuning out?

I think that as long as it is done occasionally, fans won’t get too upset.  In the case of Sane, even if they kept her around Asuka was leaving anyway so the story would have been dropped.  The reason I would not keep talents working once they were released is the threat of injury.  If a talent gets hurt, WWE will be on the hook financially.  If the goal is to reduce payroll, that goes against it completely.  If I was told that I was being released and I had been working through nagging injuries I would absolutely go to a doctor and find a way to go on the injured list.
