With Kaval released from WWE, and WWE giving a lame excuse that "They did not have anything for Kaval". Do you think that's the real reason because I think there are a lot of high fliers in WWE (Evan Bourne, R-Truth, Daniel Bryan... etc) who can put up great matches....and I think Wade Barrett is being given a decent push and this was grave injustice met out to Kaval. I would like your view on this.

Bourne hasn't really gotten a push, he just gets to hit his spot and then lose most of the time.  Truth is bigger.  Bryan has been wrestling, not flying.  That was the problem with Kaval, he wasn't a flyer.  As I said on Monday in this column, his style is to wrestle strong and he's small.  That just doesn't work in WWE's way of doing things.

I know this wouldn't draw the same money at all but, shouldn't WWE look to bring in an Awesome Kong with LAYCOOL as the Bobby Heenan, have her run through the division a little even dominate Natalya. Let Beth reestablish herself since the injury and build these two as Hulk vs. Andre of the Divas Division for Wrestlemania 27 or even for 28 which I doubt they would build that long. I just see that match as a Hulk vs. Andre of Diva Wrestling because I think all talents involved could build it because they know how to work and, not green. What do you think.

That would definitely be interesting and I think it could get over, for sure.  The only issue would be that Heenan was a manager and LayCool are active wrestlers, so they would be cutting themselves out of the title picture for Kong.  Other than that, I like the idea of the program but it would take a change in direction from WWE to make it happen since the divas are largely just eye candy right now.

I was watching Impact and Doug Williams against Jay Lethal. Williams suddenly climbs to the corner turnbuckle without any sign of the fear of heights that plagued him in the past. I have phobic issues, so can you find out the name of the medical professional who helped him overcome his fears so I can see if I can afford to use him. .............or is this just another sign of TNA's writers short memories / lack of logic??

You know, having a memory when you watch wrestling can be hazardous to your health.  You know that right?  Do you honestly expect wrestling companies to remember the things that they have told us?

Matt Hardy, you've had the same look for the past 10 years.  You had a chance to steal the Wrestlemania spotlight when you wrestled Jeff a few years ago, a match that a lot of people thought could be match of the night but was a dud.  Creative screwed up your angle with Edge but you could have spoke up and said something.  Speaking out when you are in the worst physical shape of your career will not do you any good.  The problem with Matt Hardy is Matt Hardy.  At least Carlito was man enough to ask for his release when he didn't like the way he was being used.  What is your opinion on Matt and his constant rantings?

I think it's sad to be honest.  Matt has played the blame game for a while now. Everything is someone else's fault.  I think he needs to have his friend Kimo hold his laptop and supervise his use of the internet and his appearances on podcasts until Matt can get a handle on it himself.  I agree that at the end of the day the blame falls on Matt.  He was the one that got his big chance in the program with Edge and did one of the worst promos in WWE history.  He may have had health issues (I am not sure what I believe) but he was out of shape.  He also exhibited behavior that concerned the company.  It wasn't WWE's fault.  I always believe that you take the heat for what you do and you don't blame others for your problems.  I think it's time Matt just grows a set.

There is a rap producer who goes by the name of Lex Luger.  This guy has worked with top rappers like Rick Ross. He spells his name the exact same way as the wrestler. Doesn't WWE own that trademark?  I can't believe they aren't suing this guy.

If they own it at all it would only be for as it pertains to wrestling.  Someone could use it outside of that realm.
