Do you know if WWE is planning to do a September PPV? I believe on the initial 2011 PPV schedule, Night of Champions was scheduled for September 18. Now with Vengeance replacing Bragging Rights (Vengenance-the ppv that NOC evolved from), I just wondered if you heard anything about if it is still happening and if it is, if you heard of any themes for this one. I didn't see any mention of it on WWE's site or on Ticketmaster. 

They still have the PPV date blocked out and the HSBC PPV in Buffalo booked for the show.  But, they haven't officially announced it yet.  As far as I know, the show is still on but given the falling buyrates, and Hell In A Cell scheduled for New Orleans two weeks later, if there was ever a show to cancel this one looks like a good choice.

Has a wrestler ever sent you a question just to know an opinion from you?

More times than I can even remember.

What is the deal with the Raw general manager? First he reverses SCSA's decision, berates him for it, then makes him general manager for a night? Whaaat?

I am with you, that was totally ridiculous.  He/She/It rips Steve Austin for interjecting himself in the main event last week and then says he can have all the power tonight.  It made no logical sense whatsoever and I think it's one of the little things that help add up to less people following the business than used to.  I have no problem giving WWE poetic license to work with at times but complete lapses of logic hurt the product.

I’ve just finished reading the History Of The National Wrestling Alliance and had a question. What does Kayfabe mean in the business?

It is from the old days and, in a nutshell, means to pretend that the business is real to the fans that are watching.  Obviously, it's an outdated concept since WWE has admitted that it's not.

I saw a video on your site that made me cringe. Jeff and Matt Hardy were playing with a stun gun (Not a taser). I have 4 stun guns and they look and are exactly like the one that Jeff used. Have Jeff and Matt Hardy lost all their common sense??? Using a stun gun on your brother and his girlfriend is dangerous and irresponsible. I don't care if Jeff and Matt are playing and/or fooling around.. Stun guns and Tasers are to be used for self defense only!!! NOT AS A TOY!!! I would NEVER do that to my WIFE!! I'm surprised that they made a video of this with Jeff still being on trial for possessing and possibly distributing illegal drugs!!! Couldn't this video be used against him in court to show that Jeff (and Matt for that matter) are not playing with a full deck of cards in their heads?? I'm sorry about this long rant. But as an owner of Stun Guns, I know that these are Weapons!! NOT TOYS!!

Evberything you wrote I said myself on audio so I totally agree with you.  To me, it's insane to play with stun guns in the first place.  You never know if your heart is susceptible to a myocardial infarction from the jolt.  Add in that the use was part of a drinking game, when Jeff hasn't worked for TNA since his wretched performance at Victory Road, and it makes it worse.  It was a really bad lapse in judgment to do the video.  It was an even bigger one to not think about the consequences and post it!  Then, Matt was shocked that people reacted negatively.  I don't see much common sense from any of them in this situation.
