Why exactly didn't come WWE and John Morrison to a new agreement? Shouldn't it be in WWE's best interest to have a man with that much athleticism on board (even without pushing him)?

The word is that neither side wanted to continue doing business so it comes down to who didn't want to work with who first.  I am under the impression that Morrison chose to leave so there wasn't much WWE could do to keep a guy that wanted to leave.

Seeing as WWE 12 is out on November 25 in Europe & the third story in the road to WrestleMania has a WCW storyline in it my question is this: Do you think that in 2001 if Vince could have put his ego aside & used WCW correctly as a feeder network with a show on maybe a Saturday morning in place of what is now Superstars to showcase up & coming talent the product might be different today?  The reason I say this is because if the younger up & comer's had their own weekly show when they are finally brought over to one of the main shows the fans would have a connection & a bigger vested interest in the new stars which would mean higher ratings & a stronger sense of wrestling rather than "sports entertainment".

I absolutely think so.  I think if Vince would have promoted WCW as a legitimate brand, with a different style of work, he could have made a LOT more money.  He also could have given his creative staffs an arena to compete in.  It's a shame that it was more important to him to prove that the WWF was better than WCW rather than treat it as an asset that he could use to generate more revenue.

Isn’t it ironic that considering how hard WWE is pushing its audience towards Twitter (Did they buy stock in the company or something? Sheesh!), that it seems like the only WWE personality who doesn’t have an official Twitter account is Vince McMahon?

Not really.  Vince is the boss, not really a personality anymore, and I can see why he wouldn't want to be on Twitter.  WWE doesn't own stock in Twitter but they do generate revenue from using it.  That, as well as creating awareness for their brand, is why they are pushing Twitter so hard.

It's certainly none of my or anyone else's business, but has it ever revealed what is pretty much forcing Nigel McGuinness into retirement? 

All reports we have received say it was a health issue.  Until he says what the reason is, I will respect his privacy.

So whenever the eventual CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan feud happens (hopefully?), who should be the face, who should be the heel and why?

I bet Bryan would love for it to happen because it would mean he has been elevated to the top of the card.  Honestly, I would like to see both guys as faces, just fighting to see who is best.  But knowing WWE the would have to have guys pick sides and since they have been pushing Punk as a face I guess that means Bryan would have to be the heel.
