I've always been a fan of the "Loser leaves town" type of match to be an ending to a heated feud, how come this concept isn't used when a wrestler is either being released, or requesting a release? Wade Barrett vs Shameus would've been an perfect example of this it would've sent Barrett out the door in a better way than just being thrown out of the Leauge, plus Shameus could use that win to move on to his next feud.

It's a fair question.  I could see WWE not wanting to use the gimmick because of the assumption that a portion of the audience is aware of a pending departure.  I actually like the idea of using it because it can work, and has in recent years in ROH among other companies.

Since it's obvious to everyone except Vince McMahon that Roman Reigns needs to turn heel, when they finally wise up and do that, wouldn't him destroying his cousin The Rock be a great way to go about it? And create a solid Wrestlemania main event in the process?

If they ever wanted to turn Roman, that would certainly be the way to do it!  The ironic thing is that the second Roman potentially turns, the audience will cheer him because they finally got what they wanted.

I know this is going to be a silly question, but any idea where WWF filmed the "Piledriver" and "Land of A Thousand Dances" videos?

"Land of A Thousand Dances" was filmed on the stage at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.  "Piledriver" was filmed at a legitimate construction site in San Francisco.

How is it that no one on Raw every watches tgave he backstage vignettes that others who are knocking them or plotting behind their backs are involved in?  Even better, in today's day and age of social media, how is it that NO FANS ARE TWEETING THESE PEOPLE TO WARN THEM?

I don't have any real explanation beyond you are supposed to suspend your disbelief, but you probably just gave someone in WWE Creative a heck of a plot twist.

Any update on CM Punk fighting?  It feels like he dropped of the face of the Earth.

Nothing yet.  He is still training.  It could be his radio silence is being done by design.  Hopefully when his first fight is announced, he'll be given the chance to cut some great promos and get some momentum going.
