BUILDING UP TALENTS, USING CESARO AND ANDERSON BETTER, WHY MIDCARD IS BETTER THAN NO SPOT AT ALL AND MORE

What's up with James Storm and Bram being off TNA TV?

Storm had time off scheduled before the last set of TV tapings.  Bram was abducted by Decay.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see him show up on the Battlefield at the Hardy Compound.

I just read your email response regarding Karl Anderson being used poorly and was wondering if splitting up The Club would improve his prospects. I think he and Gallows as a team bring a great dynamic to a tag team division that is basically the New Day taking on whichever two guys don't have a match for any given show. So that would be a reason not to split them. But I think Anderson has a swagger that, to me, resembles Steve Austin and more versatility in the ring than Austin had. He could be an amazing heel or anti-hero.

Anderson is really, really talented.  I believe he could easily make it as a single if they decide to go that way.  Personally, I would like to see him booked better in his current role before that happened.  It would give me more hope that he would be used correctly if they pulled a trigger and made him a single.

I understand the need for a full mid-card, which explains Neville, The Vaudevillians, and others they have brought up, but I wonder how these talents feel about being forever in the "mid-card"?

I don’t know many guys that get into the business thinking that they want to be in the opener.  With that said, most are realistic and the goal is to get to WWE, then see what happens.  Their goal is to be a wrestler and make money, which they are doing.  In most cases, talents will tell you that they could be used better and in many of them they would be correct.  But at the end of the day, at least they have a job that is hard to get.

What are they doing to/with Cesaro? It seems like such a waste of good talent.

I agree.  He is being wasted.  With all due respect to Sheamus, who I like, this best of 7 series started out cold.  They don’t have any real issues and Cesaro wants to be competing for Titles in the storylines.  He did what Mick Foley asked and beat Sheamus twice.  He should have been moved up.  Instead, they kept him in neutral.  I don’t get what they are doing either.

Why do they seem to be keeping Nia Jax away from all the other women, never including her, by word or showing? What strange plan have they got for her?

For now, they are building her up to be a monster, just like they are with Braun Strowman.  Years ago, this is how they would debut new talent, but having them run through people and look like monsters.  I have been enjoying what they are doing with both.
