SHANE MCMAHON'S RETURN, GARY HART, WHAT TITUS LOSES BY MISSING WRESTLEMANIA & MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2016-02-26 10:00:00

Is Shane McMahon back as a talent or as a corporate executive.

As of this writing, he is back to portray himself in WWE storylines.  Nothing more.

When Batista mentioned the ways Titus was screwed, he mentioned missing WrestleMania. Other than exposure is it that much of a loss since it seems there are no PPV bonuses since the network started? Or is there still a bonus in place?

Even if there is no bonus for PPVs, it's still the biggest live gate of the year so that means he's missing out on his percentage of that gate.  So, yeah, he's losing out.  That's not even factoring in any merchandise and additional pay he could have made by working what's usually the biggest storyline period of WWE's calendar.

Is Jericho the heel or the face in his feud with AJ Styles? I thought they had made him heel, but he was clearly the face in tearing down Miz on Smackdown. And the stupid "what" chants during Styles' RAW promo have me concerned. I'm fine with Styles being a heel if he's used right but I fear it's happening because they already abandoned his push as a face.

They were both babyfaces.

Hello, just wanted to say I'm a big fan of the site and thank you for all your hard work. My question is where would you rank Gary Hart among the greatest managers of all time?Personally, I think he is somebody that doesn't get enough credit or recognition for his contributions to wrestling. Thank you for your time and best wishes to you and yours.

Gary Hart was great as a serious, understated manager.  He was absolutely awesome.  I think he sometimes gets overlooked because he never had a big WWF run, but he was a force in World Class and during WCW's banner year of 1989.  

How many shows do you attend a year?

Honestly, I stopped keeping count of that a long time ago.  My guess is that in a busy year, it's in the 100-120 range, possibly more.
