PWINSIDER Q&A: TITLE BELTS, FUTURE OF WRESTLING, MONTY BROWN AND MORE

Answered on 11/16

Whenever a WWE superstar wins a title, do they keep the title with them whenever they travel or does WWE hold on to the titles? Also, if the superstars do keep the titles, do they have to put a deposit down on them or get fined if the titles get lost/stolen?

In WWE, the wrestlers travel with the belts.  They don't have to put down a deposit, but if a wrestler lost the belt, then WWE could very well make them pay for it.  Obviously, it is best not to lose it. 

It seems to me that the WWE has several guys who are supposed to be "the future of the business." I was wondering, out of Mr. Kennedy, Carlito, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Johnny Nitro, which ones do you feel are legitimate future world champions for their respective brands? Also, can any of these guys develop the kind of drawing power to lead the WWE back to the kind of growth it saw in the Attitude Era?

Honestly, with the exception of MVP, who really hasn't shown much yet, I could see any of the wrestlers listed as a future World Champion, keeping in mind that there are three brands now that they could be champion of.  And before anyone doubts Johnny Nitro, just remember that five years ago, the idea of Edge as World Champion wouldn't seem likely either.  All of these wrestlers are young and with time to develop, can become huge stars.  Whether they do or not is up to a lot of intangibles. 

Does the WWE have house shows in all 50 US States every year?

Nope.  While some states get visited every year (or multiple times a year), there are plenty of states that might get a show every other year.  Just like with Rock concerts or any other traveling attraction, major markets get flooded, and minor markets are lucky to get shows. 

Since her neck injury several years ago, would you say Lita is no longer the wrestler she once was?

I definitely think her style changed drastically following that injury.  She stopped doing as many ranas, flying headscissors and other high risk moves, and while you don't have to be a high flyer to be a good worker, Lita losing that aspect of her in-ring repertoire definitely seemed to take away from her matches.  I don't think she has ever compensated for that. 

What was the reasons given for TNA releasing Monty Brown?

TNA hasn't given any reasons, just simply acknowledging that he is no longer part of the company.  Brown hasn't been happy with the way he has been used in the company, so I guess you could say it is "creative differences".
