Is Sasha Banks being protected/used less to make a possible win over Charlotte at Summerslam more memorable?
That is my hope. Personally, I would have put her immediately into a program with Charlotte but they decided to go with Natalya first. My hope is that they are trying to keep her fresh for that run for Charlotte but with WWE creative, you never know.
Do you believe the name "Extreme Rules” should be scrapped as a PPV due to the sensitivity of blood and the wrestlers being limited in the acts they can do now in the PG era?
It depends on what they do at the show. I don’t think you need blood to do “extreme” things. At the end of the day, it’s just a name to me.
What’s your opinion about Ryback’s comments regarding equal pay and the discrepancy in pay based on winning and losing matches?
As I said yesterday, I agree with everything else he said but I don’t think equal pay is fair. More equal pay is however. John Cena is a main event star. He deserves more money than the mid carder, much as stars in sports or movies make more than their supporting counterparts. With that said, it’s also a business where how the public perceives you is determined in large part by how you are present to them. And, the people that decide how you will look to the masses are then the ones who will use your “not being over” or the fact that you lose a lot to hold you back when it comes to your next contract. That aspect is not fair at all and I admire Ryback for taking the stand that he did.
Does the WWE still call their main shows “PPV’s" even though most people nowadays watch them on the WWE Network while not paying for them through a cable provider like most used to do?
I think out of habit. Plus, they are still available on PPV. They have to call them something. Special Events doesn’t have the same ring to it. Plus, there is the subliminal aspect. To be able to get a pay-per-view for only $9.99 feels like a bargain.
Who will face the Miz for the IC Title at Extreme Rules? Do you expect a singles or multi-person match?
Right now, it sure does seem like a multi-man match with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Cesaro involved. To me, elevating Cesaro is very important here. I hope they don’t mess it up with him, as they have in the past.
