My question is about Summer Rae's status.  I know she's been battling an injury.  Is there any word on if she's still injured, or if she's cleared and just not being used?  I just worry she's been out so long she'll be forgotten with all the women who have been brought up since she's been gone.

She has been training and the word is she has been cleared, so she is available.  It is probably a situation where she is waiting on a good bit of creative for her.

Low Ki is gone from GWF, right on the heels of Tyrus leaving. Both because Jarrett, Mantel, Pritchard, etc dropped the ball on them creatively. Not to mention The Bennetts, Galloway, and Hardys all leaving for better pushes and paydays elsewhere. Don't Jarrett and the others in GFW creative see how incompetent they look when people keep leaving because the creative dept. keeps screwing up?  Anyone with a basic I.Q. can see that they need to 'creatively' create their exit from their positions and put someone in there who has an idea what the **** they're doing. THIS is supposed to be the second biggest company in the country and a company they want people to take serious? With them looking quite stupid how are we supposed to take them seriously?

Well, when you put it like that!  Seriously, in the case of the Hardys and Galloway, it was more they didn’t like the manner in which their contract negotiations were handled.  So it’s incompetence, but not creatively.  Beyond that, I hear ya.  They have made some questionable calls, and that doesn’t even take into account putting the Title on Alberto el Patron, then taking it off of him, despite the fact that a police investigation showed he did nothing wrong in Orlando.  Before I go full on that it’s bad booking I have first wonder if, with the talent like Low Ki, Alberto, The Bennetts and Tryus, if they had buyer’s remorse and used the booking as a way to divorce themselves from the talent and/or their position in the company.  Whatever the case, they have had some serious problems since Anthem has taken over.

So, I keep hearing how much heat Enzo has.  Then he is moved to 205 Live.  Then I see that he spent 10 grand for the Mayweather-McGregor fight.  Shouldn’t he be saving his money right given that he seems to be on thin ice?

Enzo sells merch and gets a good pop, but you are right.  I have talked to a lot of people on the roster and it’s safe to say that Enzo’s act is not well received off camera.  If I were him, I would be cognizant of that and start being more of a team player.  I would also be watching my money, but to be fair I would watch my money no matter who I was on the roster because I am a saver, always have been.

Is there a better talker in the WWE right now than the Miz?  He's really hit his stride as a performer over the past year or 2.  Not only is he great at cutting promos on WWE tv, he's also great at representing the company during interviews and guest spots for shows that don't fall under the WWE umbrella.  He did a fantastic job as a guest analyst on ESPN's Sportsnation earlier this year, and he was the perfect host for Tough Enough.  Do you see him getting out of the mid-card feuds he's been in lately and getting a world title push in the near future?

I have been singing Miz’s praises for a while now.  I agree with you on everything you said and when you consider at one time he had at least as much heat in the locker room as Enzo, it’s amazing the job he has done to get to the place where he is today.  With that said, it WWE saw him as a top guy I think he would have ascended there by now.  So he is probably in the spot where they see him and that isn’t a bad thing.  Enzo could learn a lot from Miz.

Do you find it at all odd that they bring in Bobby Roode, only to wrestle a lower card talent? I mean instead of making a splash with a bigger name to start a feud?

Not at all.  I actually think it’s a good idea to let a guy come in and debut with a win.  I would have booked it to be a little easier, but I have no issue with a talent coming in and being built up.  I think that they should do it more often.
